BIO:
My name is Laurie Mason and I chose to become a certified Class IV Laser Therapist after a sudden injury impacted my aging Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever.
After a very active summer, my Toller woke up one morning and was unable to stand. An array of xrays and tests were done and the vet determined that she had degenerative discs in her neck. After several months of multiple vet visits and a variety of additional treatments, both mainstream and holistic, I was informed that there was nothing further that could be done. I reached out to a retired holistic vet who recommended I try Class IV Laser treatments. She began the treatments in the beginning of January that year and I was amazed at the difference in her pain level by her third treatment. After two months of treatments, she took her first steps and by that summer was running again.
Through my business, Guardian Therapeutic Laser, I treat a variety of animals (horses, dogs, cats, sheep, pigs, etc.) where they are most comfortable (home/barn), alleviating some of their stress and pain on their road to healing.
