What makes canine massage so important

Behind the name
Our Story

In 2013, I lost my dogs Astrid and Marco unexpectedly to cancer. I’m certain they were responsible for leading me on my path to canine massage therapy, so I wanted to build a name and logo in their honor when creating my brand.
While researching name ideas, I came across a pronunciation key using “oak” for the sound of the second syllable in Marco. Oak brought me to Ash. “Ash” reminded me of a group of kids that lived up the street from us a few years back, who mistakenly thought Astrid’s name was Ashtray (we lovingly called her Ashtray from then on). Ash trees represent healing; Oaks represent strength and stability. As a canine massage therapist, I believe these qualities are exactly what I strive to provide in my work – a healing touch to help build strength and stability to my canine clients.
So thanks to Astrid (Ash) and Marco (Oak) for lighting the way on this journey. And thanks to all of you for being a part of it.
