Your4Legs - Stef WattsStef owns and manages Your4legs and has always had a passion for working with animals, particularly with horses and dogs. She is also keen to help with the comfort and wellbeing of the owners, handlers and riders – her human clients.
During the 12 years that Stef has been practising, she has continued to add to the tools that Your4legs can offer through completing additional training courses, thus enabling Your4legs to be able to offer a wide range of therapy techniques to suit your therapy needs. |
Stef is keen to encourage her clients to learn therapy techniques to help their animals in between sessions with their therapist and has a real passion for teaching people to help them to realise their goals. As a result of this Your4legs launched one day Massage courses for Horse and Dog Owners, followed closely in 2018 with Equine and Canine Therapy Practitioner Courses.
In 2019 Your4legs was proud to become a Customised Provision Provider for LANTRA. |
Stef’s highly professional, personally delivered practice currently extends across the East Midlands (Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire) Cambridgeshire and Warwickshire. She has also worked extensively within Latvia for the last 4 years, where she has launched the same Your4legs Equine and Canine Practitioner Courses as are seen in the UK. Stef is more than willing to travel to other areas depending on client needs.
