The Balanced Orchid Animal Massage and Bodywork

Victoria has given me great advice and tools to help my older arthritic dog get some pain relief.

Victoria is amazing and very knowledgable! She has helped our German Shepherd through two minor back leg issues and now is helping him recover from a major surgery. HIGHLY recommend checking her out!

I have two dogs: Bandit - a 14 year old ambitious 45lb mix that loves fetch and swimming - and Harriet - a 2 year old 20lb chihuahua boxer mix that loves running and barn hunt (sniffing out rats). During their initial visit, Victoria could easily see spot major issues just by observing them. Bandit had arthritis in his hips & most of his back and muscle stiffness in his back legs & knees). Harriet (for being just 1 year old at the time) had a very stiff face and stiff leg muscles from significant anxiety. Both have been seeing Victoria regularly for massage (Bandit 1-2x/month and Harriet every other month) for over a year. Victoria has allowed Bandit to stay active and Harriet to become a less anxious, normal puppy. Victoria is knowledgeable, helpful, and my pups just love her. She has given great tips on how to prevent muscle strains and soreness when traveling/hiking and during their activities (fetching, swimming/dock diving, and barn hunt). Victoria is amazing!

We highly recommend Victoria & her work! It’s worth it! She has done amazing things for our 8 yr old Doberman. We thought we’d have to put Sarge down cause he could barely get around anymore. Each week his legs were getting worse. Our regular vet at the time said nothing we can do after repeated visits they couldn’t find an explanation. Gotta see a specialist for a diagnosis for couple thousand dollars. So that led me to digging around & finding Jessica at Holistic Veterinary Care who is doing a fantastic job as well! And she recommended Victoria right a way. Sarge is very protective towards adults, but not with Victoria! He fell in love right away-which blew me away! He could sense she was there to help. From the 1st session we saw improvement. He was so inflamed & his muscles were so tensed up was why he had trouble walking. (Fyi if you’ve never seen this work you may go that’s it!?) But believe me she is doing A LOT & so is your pet’s body. It is pretty neat how it works. She gave us a great exercise to do at home to help out & loved how she explained everything. We go every 2-3 wks now. He went from barely able to stand up & move to go to the bathroom, to galloping in the yard, going up & down the stairs, & wrestling with his 3yr old lab mix brother again! Just amazing going from no hope to seeing the life come back in his eyes & body again. He just loves massage day!! Thank you Victoria for everything. You definitely have the touch!
