Denise Theobald - Canine Massage Instructor
Denise Theobald has always had a passion for understanding the relationship between people and their pets. In her 20 year career of being a massage therapist and personal trainer, Denise has focused on caring for her client’s emotional and physical well being. Denise studied and applied her knowledge of body work and exercise to accommodate our four legged companions and started a business called Petrissage, teaching therapeutic massage to veterinarians, animal care workers and pet owners. To expand her experience in the pet care industry and to finally fulfill her dream of being fully educated in the care of companion animals, Denise joined AnimalSense Academy to study canine training and behavior. Denise believes that the emotional and physical link is key to a happy relationship between a person and their dog. Denise is a graduate of the inaugural class of AnimalSense Academy and is now teaching canine massage classes at AnimalSense. She is a nationally certified canine massage therapist through NBCAAM (National Board of Certification for Animal Acupressure and Massage). Denise recently started her own business, Canine Massage Chicago, which offers career training and therapeutic canine massage services. She also maintains a private practice for 2 legged clients, Deedly Kneaded Massage, which is located in Andersonville.
Denise Theobald lives in Park Ridge with her partner Julie, cats Smokey and Stanley and yellow Lab Jackson.
