She earned her CTMT Canine Therapeutic Massage Therapist through Rocky Mountain School of Animal Acupressure and Massage in 2014. She also started working in a small animal veterinary hospital. She saw the benefits of rehab with her senior pitbull Sweet Pea and patients at the hospital and was inspired to learn more.

She then completed the Certified Canine Rehab Practitioner (CCRP) course at University of Tennessee. She has also earned a Fear Free certification, enhancing her gentle handling skills.

    Hailey, CCRA

    Rehabilitation Therapist

    Hailey’s compassion and interest in the care and wellness of animals began early. She became inspired while working as an animal care technician in high school, and pursued a career in veterinary medicine. She has since been involved in large and small animal care for 10 years. An avid equestrian, she has competed in local, state, and intercollegiate hunter/jumper competitions on her horse, Beau. With the addition of Rango, her Australian Shepherd, to her family, she began learning and developing her pup’s skills in various dog sports, including fast CAT and agility. These personal interests and pursuits created a passion that focused her knowledge on mobility, performance, endurance, and rehabilitation in both the canine and equine fields.  

    She graduated in 2019 from Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton, GA and earned her undergraduate degree in biology. After graduation, she moved to South Carolina and worked for 4 years in equine sports medicine and rehabilitation. Hailey’s quiet and easygoing demeanor allows for clients and patients to feel comfortable and confident during their visit at RVM. Her hands on experience in therapy services and passion for animal rehab and fitness provides the knowledge and skill to assist in all aspects of a patients mobility. 

    Hailey returned to the Atlanta area with her husband, Jonathan, and spoiled pup Rango. Hailey continues to ride as often as she can and they all enjoy their time attending dog sporting events, hiking, and watching the Atlanta Braves.
