Sandy with her Bulldog, Brodie

Sandy Fisher, Owner

In 2003, my bulldog, Brodie, tore his Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL) and had surgery at WSU. As a recommendation from the Orthodogs Yahoo Discussion Group, I sought out a warm water therapist and found Cindy Horsfall of La Paw Spa. Cindy started us on our incredible journey to the place we are now...sharing this amazing therapy with others! Along the way, I have completed Cindy's Heart 2 Heart Canine Hydrotherapy Level 1 Training Program and have earned the Certified Pool/Spa Operator designation from the National Swimming Pool Foundation (NSPF).

Patricia Cool is a human Licensed Massage Practitioner (LMP) as well as being a Licensed Small Animal Massage Practitioner and Reiki Level 1 Master. Patricia has been enthralled with water therapy for over 4 years, being challenged by her own Mastiff/retriever mix who has had surgery on both of his knees. His rehabilitation was a true test of skills. Patricia has worked for other local pools and has been honored to have a great mentor in Cindy Horsfall. Patricia loves the idea of using all of her skills in water therapy including T-Touch, full body massage, Reiki, and body strengthening routines that benefit the young, the old, pre-surgery, post-surgery, and even canine emotional issues. Patricia's ultimate goal every therapy session is to create a safe and healing space on all levels. Patricia does have one weak spot.... loving every dog she meets!!!
