A Colorado-based certified animal communicator, Karuna / Reiki Master, canine massage / conditioning practitioner and an instructor at the Rocky Mountain School of Animal Acupressure and Massage, Gillian provides long term big-picture holistic healing solutions for pets to activate their natural ability to balance and heal their physical, emotional and mental well-being.

With the belief that holistic therapy is centered on love, empathy and respect, Gillian uses her knowledge and skills to help improve an animal’s health and happiness, which can strengthen and deepen their connections to their human companions.

After a long, successful, 25 year executive career in corporate America, she began her dream career in 2014 practicing Reiki on human clients before realizing that animals needed her gifts more so. She graduated in 2017 from a top veterinary board accredited school for Animal Acupressure and Massage where she went through a rigorous animal massage certification program that included a year of classroom learning in anatomy, pathology, neurology and kinesiology, followed by months of clinical case studies.

In 2017, she started her own animal practice Four Paws Holistic Therapy and is now fully focused on helping pets achieve a longer quality of life by spreading the knowledge of collaborative pet health benefits through educational seminars and pop-up clinics.
