South Paw Massage and Wellness was founded in 2015 by the owner, lead therapist and board certified canine massage therapy and educational provider, Stacy Gradel. It was a car accident that lead her to this path and journey, well it turns out this was not by accident after all. This was the journey she was meant to pursue and her connection with animals and healing speaks for itself. Massage, holi
