Mission
Soul Paws Mission Statement
At Soul Paws, we are dedicated to transforming canine lives through expert bodywork and wellness services. Our mission is to enhance the health and longevity of every dog in our care by blending holistic and conventional practices. We focus on preventing injuries, speeding up healing, alleviating pain, and reducing stress to maximize quality time with your beloved companion.
Our approach includes transformative bodywork that activates key acupressure points and integrates advanced techniques like Swedish massage, myofascial release, and specialized pain relief. This enhances circulation, reduces inflammation, and boosts immune function, leading to significant health improvements.
We also offer innovative therapies like near-infrared red laser therapy, Craniosacral therapy, and TENS therapy alongside tailored exercise regimens that include private walks, forest hikes and therapeutic stretching. These services are designed to reduce physical stress and promote mental well-being, particularly benefiting dogs with anxiety or joint issues.
Experience the Soul Paws difference and see how our dedicated care can elevate your dog’s vitality and well-being and ultimately live longer.

In addition to graduating with Honours with a Bachelor's Degree from SFU, she is now certified from the Northwest School of Animal Massage. Erin continues to incorporate complementary bodywork modalities to support in both maintenance and rehabilitation. Some of these modalities include acupressure, Swedish massage, near-infrared red light therapy, TENs therapy, and craniosacral therapy. Erin also continues to pursue advanced studies and specific courses in the pursuit of canine health and wellness, including upcoming advanced craniosacral therapy for canine forelimbs, and Performance Massage for later clients who need their dogs to speed heal after a competition and preparation for the next one. Erin has also taken numerous courses in dog training and renews her canine first aid every two years. She is extremely passionate about canine nutrition, therapeutic aromatics and exercise with respect to their role in mental and physical health and longevity. My goal is to help dogs feel their best so that they can enjoy quality time with their guardians for a much longer time.
