About Animal Body Care
Animal Body Care aims to ensure the highest level of health and well being for your companion animals, by combining a vast range of techniques to promote muscle and joint health, diet and living conditions.
My name is Lauren Eyres and Animal Body Care has come into existence as a result of my passion to help our companions achieve optimal health by using hands on natural therapies, appropriate nutrition and suitable
exercise.
Animal Body Care is owned and run by myself, in Townsville, North Queensland. I entered the world of natural therapies in 2001 by studying Swedish massage, herbs and aromatherapy. In 2006 I found myself back in college studying for a Diploma of Remedial Massage, leading to a career change upon completion.
In 2007 the hard work and study opened the next door in my career when I started work as a full time Remedial Massage Therapist. As my skills and experience progressed and my client base grew, I would occasionally be asked if I treated animals. I wanted to say "yes," but I
didn't feel I had the knowledge to do so. This lead to the next step in my journey - "gain knowledge to fulfil my passion" This was accelerated in 2009 when I unknowingly adopted a "special" cat. Maynard has very mild physical and mental problems and it was amazing to see how a few small corrections could ease his discomfort. Maynard fits in beautifully with the rest of my menagerie consisting of 2
dogs, 3 other cats and a flock of parrots and chickens.
In January 2011 I felt I had gained the knowledge, experience and confidence to treat animals that did not belong to my family, friends or myself. My dream of Animal Body Care was now a reality. My thirst for knowledge continues to grow and I find myself dedicated to learn as much as I can to help more animals to live a long, healthy, pain and discomfort free life.
