Rebecca Therian - B.S., CCMT, RMT
Inspired by her beloved companions, Becky founded
The Animal Touch and is dedicated to the well-being of the animals in her care. Using Reiki energy therapy in conjunction with manual massage techniques, Becky strives to improve the physical condition and performance of her animal clients and relieve any stress or discomfort the animal may experience due to injury, disability or age. Becky also has a special interest in the behavioral effects of these healing modalities as she has observed the increase in overall health and vitality of the animal tends to coincide with the reduction of various behavioral problems and complaints. She has extensive experience working with a variety of different animals in many related
fields - including veterinary, training and rehabilitation.
Becky operates The Animal Touch, and works in alliance with the New England Canine Rehabilitation and Fitness Center. Together they provide service to CT and Western MA and offer a comprehensive rehabilitation and/or fitness plan specifically designed to meet the needs of each animal and support their individual path to wellness.
Becky is passionate about her work and considers it one of her greatest interests. Other interests include hiking with her dogs, gardening, writing and good conversation with family and friends.
This site is dedicated to the memory of Dudley, Shelby, Popcorn and Uncle Freddie, who have since passed from this life & whose love, acceptance & encouragement led me here to this special place.
