A little bit about Wigglebeat and its mission

Meet Anja

Wigglebeat Founder

Hi there, my name is Anja, and I’m excited to welcome you to Wigglebeat, a place dedicated to improving your dog’s well-being with holistic practices and lifestyle changes. I love dogs and connecting with their humans, which is why Wigglebeat’s methods focus primarily on dog’s well-being and happiness so you can both get the most out of your time together.

Meet Tisa

Dog Massage Model

Hello human, so nice to meet you! My name is Tisa, and I’m the official dog massage model here at Wigglebeat. Exactly 13 years ago, Anja and I met each other’s gaze at an animal shelter, and we’ve been inseparable ever since! Besides croup rubs and making new friends, I also love naps on the couch, lots and lots of crunchy treats, and swimming in puddles of all shapes and sizes.

How our story started

In the past, me and Tisa loved running long distances together until one day, I got seriously injured and had to give up sports for two years.

Here I was, doing all kinds of therapies to make my injury heal faster, and it got me thinking, “what would happen if our roles were reversed? If Tisa got hurt, not me?” I had all these options to heal myself and ease my pain, but what about her? Is her only option to visit a vet, or can I help her avoid injuries by improving her health with gentle lifestyle changes?

After doing some research, I realized there aren’t many techniques to improve our dogs’ well-being before seeing a vet – more often than not, when an illness or injury is already present. But I was determined to find a solution so I decided to dig deeper. When I eventually stumbled across the field of canine massage, I was instantly hooked.

I enrolled at Northwest School of Animal Massage (Washington, USA) and later continued working closely with Shintaro and Masami at Labulls Garden Dog Wellness Center and International Association of Holistic Dog Therapy (Chiba, JAPAN). I also got my Emmett certification and now teach live workshops each month. This helped me further develop an easy-to-follow technique safe for home use that helps your dog maintain a healthy and fit body resistant to disease and injury.

I can’t wait for you to experience the incredible benefits of this technique and help your pup live its best life!
