Kia ora and welcome to Coastal Canines!

I’m Tara — a certified and experienced Canine Massage and Mobility Therapist, providing home visits for dogs living on the Kāpiti Coast and across the Wellington region. This in-home service is designed to support your dog’s physical and emotional wellbeing and includes: canine therapeutic massage, laser therapy, tailored strength and rehabilitation exercise plans. I also run in-person massage workshops for owners.

Whether your dog is young or senior, managing joint or muscle discomfort, recovering from surgery or injury, or simply in need of extra emotional care, I work closely with you to create a customised plan that meets their individual needs.
