Merishia massage combines elements of both Swedish and sports massage techniques. It can provide both superficial and deep tissue release of tension in the body.
Relaxing for both the body and mind, it is tailored to the specific needs of your animal based on feedback from their behaviour and body language.

Merishia massage is aimed at enhancing or maintaining your animal's general well-being.
