In my dog massage practice, I use complementary healing modalities such as essential oils for animals, flower essences, sound healing with tuning forks, and cold laser therapy.

I hope the information I share about canine health and wellness can help your dog feel his or her best!

The information shared through this website and my canine bodywork and energy healing services, does not replace traditional veterinary healthcare treatment for illness. Please always contact your veterinarian if your dog is ill.

I love Alexandra and so do my dogs! When she did the acupressure on my dogs they loved it! Cezar didn’t want her to stop. Kya was very relaxed after too. Alexandra was very thorough in explaining all of the pressure points and what they did. She was also able to show us that Khloe had some soar spots in her back. I highly recommend Alexandra!

Alexandra has been awesome with my 16yr old blue heeler. She has given her some relief from her sore joints which has helped her want to move about a little more the last few weeks. Thank you so much Alexandra!!😁

My lab,Ryker, was experiencing some back leg stiffness and he was struggling to get up sometimes. Since starting his "puppy massages" I call them, I'm happy to report he's definetly not as stiff and sore like he was before. He's got more Stamina while running and jumping after his Frisbees and tennis balls. He also looks very forward to his massages. He had one today and went right to sleep because he was so relaxed. Id recommend The Barking Princess to anyone who would like to help their dogs live their best lives.

My 10 year old dog Bella hates to be touched by anyone other than me. Alexandra was so patient with her. Although Bella complained a bit, I was pleasantly surprised that Alexandra was able to manipulate her. Bella has stomach issues and Alexandra massaged liver boost on her. She had far less stomach problems and when she did have troubles, they were less severe. It is always great to see Bella happily run home with no pain after her sessions with Alexandra. I highly recommend her! Thank you, Rose and Bella

My dog Lexi has been getting massages from Alexandra and we are finding that it is super helpful for her muscles and overall well being. Lexi settles right in and loves Alexandra’s special touch. I didn’t realize that dogs have chakras also so the special energy-healing massage with essential oils is an amazing therapeutic session for my fur baby. (Plus she smells so wonderful after). I am so grateful to find someone that offers this service and especially that I found Alexandra. She is truly very talented and I believe this is her calling to help our fur babies. ❤️

Alexandra has treated both my German shepherds and they both are completely comfortable and at ease with her. She’s gentle and extremely knowledgeable in her craft and I highly recommend her services!

So I just did virtual distant rei kei for the first time with Alexandra and was blown away. I almost have no words but since I’m leaving a review that’s not gonna work.... she had me touch myself in my shakras, envision the light emanating from there and boom , the tears just started flowing.... we are talking the REAL deal. My local pet rei kei lady was a snob to me because I don’t have dreads and she thought i think I wasn’t a “ hippie” enough which obv defeats the whole principle of this stuff. Nevertheless, when I learned Alex was in SLC, I wAs bummed but know that we are in this crazy situation and I now believe in distant practitioners.... well who needs locals( I fully support local economy but not when they are snobby) . So Gus my dog just relaxed and was down with all that went down it blew my mind... phew... are you still reading??! She was comforting ME BY THE END!!!! I can’t recommend her enough .. in fact I have already given her. Number to my friend in Vermont who has a 16 years old husky with some bladder issues. Expect the call Barking princess!!! I’m all tuckered out so I’m out y’all. Dm if you have any questions about Alex... I’m an open book. Wish I coulda posted this on pet squad... like I said I’m finally getting around to figuring out FB BIZ... love you BP.

I highly recommend Alexandra for canine acupuncture and massage or any advice/concerns you may have. She is so knowledgeable and passionate about what she does and offers so much fun and informative information on her blog. I was so pleased with how well my dog did with with his massage. I was afraid he might get nervous but he was so relaxed and enjoyed so much. Thanks Alexandra

Massage benefits dogs the same way it benefits people. If your dog is experiencing stiffness, sore joints, is athletic, a senior, or has any special needs, massage can bring relief and help your dog get out of a pain spiral. Helping your dog feel his or her best is always my goal.
