Happy Tails Bodywork

Hi, I’m Courtney!

I am a certified and fully licensed Canine Bodyworker and Dog Walker. I’m passionate about helping dogs feel their best—whether that’s through therapeutic bodywork or getting them out on enriching adventures in nature.

My passion for dogs began at the age of seven when my family adopted a wolf hybrid named Kaya Bear. Throughout my early life, I always surrounded myself with dogs and quickly realized I wanted to work with them professionally. Over the years, I’ve managed dog walking companies and dog daycares, which deepened my understanding of canine behaviour, health, and care.

In 2025, I received my certification from the Canadian Institute of Equine and Canine Bodywork. I believe dogs are healthiest when they are able to move freely and feel their best, which is why I’m passionate about supporting their wellbeing through bodywork and exercise.

When I’m not providing bodywork sessions, you’ll find me walking and hiking dogs around our beautiful town of Powell River. My private walks give dogs the chance to explore independently and build confidence, while my off-leash adventure hikes allow pups to explore, play, and truly just be dogs!
