A little bit about Maureen,

Maureen Connors, BA, MBA, AS, PTA, CCRP, CMFT

Maureen’s career has taken a few different turns throughout the years.  Animals have been her life-long passion and she has always aimed to make working with them her career. After working in the corporate world, she went back to school to become a Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) and also did some work in the fitness field. During her work as a PTA, she discovered that there were practices that did physical rehabilitation with dogs and she jumped at the chance to do that. She became a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner through the University of Tennessee and eventually started working full time in the field of canine rehabilitation. Massage as a complement to physical rehabilitation was a natural next step, so she became certified as a Canine Myo-manipulative Functional Therapist. Maureen offers canine massage at events, workshops and sessions one on one basis.
