I’m Nicky and I run Kanedu Clinical Canine Massage.
I am a registered veterinary nurse, clinical canine massage practitioner and have a BSAVA vet nurse merit award in rehabilitation and physiotherapy, as well as Blue Paw award in Osteoarthritis with the VOA.
​
With over 20 years experience in the veterinary profession, assisting vets with pets of all types, breeds and sizes, with varying conditions, I felt there was a missing link holistically in supporting our beloved pets with acute and chronic conditions, and rehabilitation following operations.
​
A tactile person, I’ve always used touch to help soothe the animals in my care, and with the support of the Veterinary Practice I worked for, I trained with the internationally renowned Canine Massage Therapy Centre Ltd for 2 years to become a Clinical Canine Massage Practitioner accredited by Lantra in 2016.
I now use these skills with success in and outside my nursing role.
​
I am a member of both the RCVS Nurses register and the professional association The Canine Massage Guild and adhere to best practice stipulations. Through both my roles, I attend regular CPD education to keep my skills up to date and to learn new ones, helping me to continue to provide the best possible care for the dogs I help.
I am looking forward to helping as many dogs as I can in a natural way, so if you would like to know more,
please get in touch, so my touch can help.

In 2018, I had the privilege in taking part in clinical trials on the efficacy of massage with the guild, the results speak for themselves. To have a read and see that massage really does work, click the link below:-
