Therapeutic Services
Campisi Holistic Canine is a natural wellness practice intended to promote ease and comfort, while encouraging the system into homeostasis. All of the work I offer is well-rounded, non-invasive, and non-forceful.
From lifestyle consultation for your dog, food setup, senior and palliative care, to holistically minded boarding, group outings, and medical check-ins. I am here to help you compassionately care for your animal.
Clients seek out my services when dogs are injured, show a gait imbalance, or exhibit behavioral problems that may be a deeper health issue. Dogs with unexplained behavioral issues, misdiagnosed conditions, and the like. I ask different questions and mainly observe. I may ask you to drop your animal off with me so that I can work alone with your pet. Often, the pet is acting certain ways based on their human’s emotional state. I need to often see the animal in their own natural state - with no influence of their loving human.
Dogs may be suffering from anxiety, excessive licking, barking, or whimpering.
Misdiagnosed or undiagnosed issues can lead to a variety of structural issues, leading to behavioral problems.
I refer and provide suggestions.
I do not diagnose, treat, or prescribe medication. I do discuss natural remedies such as Bach Flower and Homeopathic formulas.
Clients can expect me to be on time, efficient, honest, and operate with fairness, kindness, and integrity. If I am unable to help you, I will let you know and refer you to a professional who I feel can. If I am boarding your pet, they will be returned to you with smiles and wiggles and want to come back! If I am petsitting for you, you can be assured that your home and belongings will be cared for with the utmost respect and left spotless.

Structural Alignment
Structural Alignment involves addressing the fascia or connective tissue via movement to restore balance in the gait and ultimately restore homeostasis. This is very gentle and usually very enjoyable for the animal.
When we study the fascia, we learn how the stories of our lives are stored in this material in the body - weaving this fabric of tension and sometimes anxiety or depression. Structural Alignment can be the beginning of a deeper understanding of your pet’s reality, and perhaps why they are in pain or behaviorally acting out.
Dr Ida P. Rolf, founder of Rolfing / Structural Integration, had a wonderful saying that still holds true. “Put it where it belongs and make it move.”

Manual Osteopathy
Manual Osteopathic assessment and treatment is tailored to meet your pet’s unique needs based on age, size, breed traits, and health condition. Osteopathic techniques include joint articulation, soft tissue modalities such as lymphatic drainage, reflex, joint mobilization, gentle cranial, and functional treatment.
I am currently studying with The London College of Animal Osteopathy.

Canine Somatics
Canine Somatics is a non-invasive practice involving slow, deliberate touch (ie, stroking the spine or chest) to calm the mind and body.
The benefits promote relaxation, reduce anxiety and overall arousal, improve mobility, and support emotional regulation.
WHY DOGS NEED SOMATIC SUPPORT
Dogs often struggle with loud gatherings, doorbells, visitors, travel or boarding stays, new or unfamiliar environments, routine disruptions, and overstimulation.
Holiday stress, moving or a newly adopted shelter pet can affect both species - just in different ways. Somatic work helps give their nervous systems a place to land.
Palliative Care
Support At Journey’s End
The full list of services for the Palliative Care program will launch in the winter of 2026 upon graduation. If you currently have a senior care animal or a terminally ill companion in need of end-of-life or transition care, please reach out as soon as possible to set up care for your loved one for resources.
