Hi! I’m so glad you’re here.

My name is Minerva, and I’m excited to support your pet’s well-being alongside you.

When I tell people what I do, I often hear, “I didn’t even know that was a thing! Mine could definitely use a massage.” Then they quickly turn to gushing about their pets and how amazing they are. I love it.

  • Let’s lengthen the amount of time you get to do that - tell people all about your beloved pets.

  • Let’s strengthen the undeniably special bond you have with your animal companions.

  • Let’s deepen your understanding of how to be the best guardian you have been entrusted to be.

My goal is for us to do all of these together through the power of small animal massage therapy.

The journey to training in and practicing small animal massage therapy had a two-part start:

  1. Rusty, my first dog, revealed to me the potential that bodywork has for creating better quality of life when he was diagnosed with degenerative myelopathy, a thankfully painless condition but one that is incurable and progresses into eventual paralysis. Through a combination of prescribed medications, frequent low-impact exercise, and untrained (at the time) massages I did at home, we were able to prolong his mobility and enthusiastic joy for life for more years than we were told to expect.

  2. After more than a decade of corporate work, I made the decision to focus on healing others. I chose to work through animals, especially because of the unique relationships we develop with our pets that impact our mental, physical, emotional, and social health. Their well-being empowers our well-being.

Thus, Pet Reset Massage Therapy came to be. I am thrilled to be able to support my animal clients and their guardians with their goals for well-being through preventative maintenance and targeted rehabilitation massages, and I am so looking forward to helping you and yours soon. Thank you for being here.

We’re a team when it comes to your pet’s well-being.

Here’s what clients have said about working with me.

  • Minerva did a wonderful job when she was working with my Pitbull mix. She was very conscientious in treating Willa during every appointment. Minerva is very good at what she does.

    Guardian: Rick K. 🐾 Dog: Willa

  • I would recommend that a massage be considered by anyone whose dog is not acting themselves or seems stressed in some way. I appreciate Minerva's professional, friendly mannerisms and her punctuality.

    Guardian: Jen M. 🐾 Dogs: Beau and Bailey

  • At her second visit, Kevin greeted her with so much excitement. He can't give a direct testimonial himself, but I took that to mean he is a fan! We highly recommend Minerva's services.

    Guardians: Alicia and Nick N. 🐾 Dog: Kevin

  • What I really enjoyed was how she explained my dog's musculoskeletal system to me. I learned how to provide touch to my dog in a therapeutic way. I would highly recommend speaking with Minerva in regards to the benefits of massage for your pup!

    Guardian: Joanne P. 🐾 Dog: Mabel Rosé

  • Seeing the charts and having conversations about our dogs’ bodies definitely taught us a lot about the condition they are in and how their bodies are affected by their physical activities. Our dogs love her and are always super happy when they see her arrive.

    Guardians: Elsie D. and Mauricio M. 🐾 Dogs: Roko and Summer

  • Minerva was super professional and accommodating for each visit. She would work to ensure she was not interrupting our routines and/or work-from-home dynamics. We feel that the education around pet wellness, body structure, massages etc. was great!

    Guardians: Liberty and Shane M. 🐾 Dog: Nilla

  • Overall great experience, I would highly recommend her for any senior dogs or dogs who have had injuries, or for anyone who simply wants to treat their dog!

    Guardian: Sonia K. 🐾 Dog: Teddy

  • Like an angel from heaven, Minerva Thai entered our lives. She is kind, gentle, understanding, and patient and understands animals.

    Guardian: Harriet S. 🐾 Dog: Kloie

  • These sessions have given us insight we didn’t have before about areas of his (three-legged) body that might get tired more easily, and things we could do or change to make his mobility better as he ages.

    Guardian: Kylie B. 🐾 Dog: Vinny

Let’s support your pet together.
