I have had the pleasure of collaborating with Certified Canine Massage Practitioner Tracey
Sciarra over the past 2 years at Animal Wellness Center of OC (AWCOC) in Costa Mesa, CA. In
addition to my role as acting medical director at AWCOC, I also provide integrative therapy to
patients with various health conditions.

The adage "health in motion" promotes wellbeing through movement, avoiding stagnation that
can lead to pain and ill health. But what if our patients are not well enough to actively exercise?
We have congestive heart failure patients who are under strict activity restrictions by the
cardiologists or patients in advanced stages of neuromuscular diseases with limited mobility.
Even though they cannot actively exercise to reap the benefits of "health in motion," we can still
keep things circulating and moving in their bodies through canine massage. A well performed
canine massage can increase range of motion, relax muscle spasms, improve blood and fluid
circulation to assist healing and eliminate toxins.

As a veterinarian and acupuncturist, I understand the importance of complementary therapies in
managing musculoskeletal issues and enhancing overall health and fitness. Additionally, healthy
pets can benefit from massage too! A session with Tracey leaves patients in a relaxed state that
can promote further well-being, emotionally, behaviorally as well as physically.

Tracey has consistently impressed me with her expertise and dedication to improving the health
and comfort of those in her care. In addition to her technical expertise, Tracey is a reliable,
responsible, and compassionate individual. I am confident in her ability to work alongside
veterinary professionals to provide the best possible care for our mutual patients. If you have
any questions or would like further information, please contact me at staff@thefamilyvet.net.

I'm happy to write this referral letter for Tracey Sciarra, who worked with us as an independent
contractor at VCA PetPoint Medical Center & Resort. We are a 4-doctor veterinary general
practice with a grooming salon and a resort that provides daycare and boarding for our patients,
and Tracey was a trusted partner in providing dog massage and walking services to our
patients.

Tracey consistently impressed us with her professionalism, reliability, and her genuine love for
animals. She was always on time, very thorough, and took excellent care of all the dogs she
worked with. What stood out most was her remarkable ability to keep the patients calm and
comfortable during their sessions. The dogs absolutely loved her presence, and it was clear
they felt at ease in her care. She had a special knack for reading their body language and
adjusting her approach to suit each individual animal, which made her an even greater asset to
our practice.

What really impressed us was Tracey's communication with pet parents. She always made sure
to give them detailed, thoughtful updates after each visit, which the pet owners really
appreciated. They often shared how much they valued the personal care Tracey provided for
their pets.

While Tracey was an independent contractor and not directly a member of our team, she fit in
seamlessly with our practice. She was always easy to work with and adapted well to the variety
of services we offer, from medical care to boarding. Her calm, friendly demeanor made her a
favorite with both our patients and their owners.

I'd highly recommend Tracey for any position that involves working with animals. She's
dependable, skilled, and truly cares about the pets she works with. If you need any more
information or want to chat further about Tracey's work with us, feel free to reach out.

Tracey has been a true angel in our lives. She has a beautiful and warm energy about her that animals respond to and an intuition about how to connect with them on a deeper level. My senior Maltese, Sophie, adored her. For the last months of her life, we increased the massages so that Tracey came to our house 3 times a week. It was a joy to watch my dog be so lovingly cared for.

At one point, when Sophie was teetering on the edge of life, Tracey changed her schedule and came to massage her. She had been listless all day, but during the massage, she raised her head, and by the end, she was sitting up and requesting treats. I believe Tracey helped to save Sophie's life that day.

Tracey became a big part of our lives, coming to massage Sophie whenever I had to be gone for a longer period of time. She had a key to our house, and I trusted her completely. It gave me great peace to know that Sophie was having a special treat while I was gone, her own connection with Tracey independent of me.

After my girl passed, Tracey played the singing bowls for Sophie for the first time, to call to her soul and help her transition. Tracey was at her house, and I was at mine, but | could feel an intensity in the air and knew that Sophie was there with Tracey at that time. It was a deeply spiritual moment honoring Sophie, and one that I'll never forget.

If you are lucky enough to have an opportunity to have Tracey massage your fur baby, please do it. I can think of no greater gift for your pup.

My Borzoi have been receiving in home massage for many years. I started with a Borzoi who passed away several years ago. If she was eating and Tracey showed up for her massage she would drop the food out of her mouth and run to the massage bed. I am grateful Tracey could give her that enjoyment out of life towards the end.

One of my Borzoi is elderly. She sees Tracey pull up in front of the house and she races to the couch and lays down waiting impatiently for her massage. I attribute at least some of her longevity to how well she responds to her massages. Not only does it mentally relax her, but is also helps her joint circulation and her liver challenges. She has been dealing with liver challenges for three years now and her lab work has actually improved.

My boy also loves his massages. He injured himself as a teenager getting away from a swarm of bees. His massages minimize his aches and pains. He loves them as much as my girl. From my perspective, Tracey is compassionate and kind with the dogs. She is also very professional. My dogs will continue their massages until the end of their lives, which I hope is very long.

My husband and | would like to share our highest recommendation for Tracey Sciarra's physical therapy/massage services.

We have a 16-year-old, 75-pound Golden Doodle named Rudy. Rudy is able to walk, but is now unable to get up on his own. We have been taking him to an Animal Wellness Center for acupuncture and massage therapy since 2022.

When he started seeing Tracey, we began to see improvement in his range of motion and strength. Rudy sleeps while Tracey works on him and then he sleeps the rest of the day, which shows us how effective it is for him.

Tracey is so kind to Rudy. We believe that she has helped his quality of life and has improved and managed Rudy's pain. We also believe that her work is prolonging Rudy's life with us.

Bottom line, having Rudy see Tracey is the best thing that we could ever do for him.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Tracey Sciarra professionally for over 10 years. When I met her, she was single handedly running her own pet sitting and walking business. Some of her clients were my patients and I frequently recommended her for her professionalism, expertise, and compassionate nature.

I always received positive feedback from clients and they quickly become her "regulars" because of her reliability and warm personality. For a time, I got to benefit first hand when I hired her to care for 2 of my elderly dogs when I could not give them their regular mid-day walks. I could tell by their excitement and wagging tails how much they enjoyed their time with Tracey.

When she obtained her certification for massage and aromatherapy, I saw her in action as she performed her massages right in my facility with dimmed lights, blankets, and soothing music. The dogs would practically fall asleep as she massaged them and of course they moved better and felt better after their therapeutic sessions.

With her expertise, professionalism, and gentle demeanor, I am confident she will continue to impress any future clients. They and their pets will be in good hands with Tracey!

Tracey Sciarra is truly one of the most remarkable people I have ever met. She is currently coming over to our practice for Canine Massage, and has consistently demonstrated a high level of dedication and strong work ethic. I have worked with her for many years in the veterinary profession, and she is always reliable and dedicated. Tracey has a tremendously positive attitude, and everyone enjoys her intelligence and sophistication — always a pleasure to be around. She has an excellent attention to detail, is very bonding with the clients, and always maintains top compassion for the pets. She is very much a team player, and always offers to help.

Tracey is highly successful in the veterinary world, and I am sure everyone she meets will share in my highest regard for her.

| am thrilled to write on behalf of Tracey Sciarra, recommending her for canine massage and acupressure. Tracey has worked at the Animal Wellness Center of OC just over two years, as our primary canine massage practitioner.

Tracey sees many of our repeat patients monthly. Our pet parents often rave they feel like they get as much relaxing benefit as their dog.

Tracey's patients often peek into the treatment room where she performs amazing massage. If they could talk, they would ask "When is my next appointment with Tracey?"

Overall, Tracey is a wonderful and passionate person who cares deeply for her patients and their human companion.
