Our Hydrotherapist
Lead Hydrotherapist
Jazz Pritchard
Jazz trained between New Zealand and the UK (just outside of London) in a number of different disciplines relating to hydrotherapy and other aspects of canine health & wellness. In addition to working with “clients” in the pool or on the treadmill, Jazz worked for years as a hydrotherapy instructor, teaching practical skills to students from the UK and around the globe.
“Meeting new furry friends, getting to know their individual personalities and quirks, and watching their progress during sessions is so rewarding, and ultimately what keeps me motivated to improve and enrich the lives of as many dogs as possible.”
