Kia ora and welcome to Coastal Canines!

I’m Tara Trewinnard-Boyle, a certified and experienced Canine Massage and Mobility Therapist, with a special interest in chronic pain, arthritis and senior care. I offer home visits to those living on the Kāpiti Coast and across the Wellington region. This in-home service is designed to support your dog’s physical and emotional wellbeing and includes: canine therapeutic massage, laser therapy and tailored exercise plans. I also run in-person massage workshops for owner education.

My passion lies in empowering owners to recognise discomfort in their dogs and make small lifestyle changes that improve wellbeing, while also providing holistic, professional support to dogs directly through tailored, hands-on treatment.

Whether your dog is young or senior, managing joint or muscle discomfort, recovering from injury or simply in need of extra emotional care, I work closely with you to create a customised plan that meets their individual needs.

I also work collaboratively with your veterinarian and other rehabilitation professionals when appropriate, providing session notes to support a complete health record.
