🌿✨ Herbal support for the skin & spirit ✨🌿

I’m not a vet, but I am someone who walks closely with nature. Over the years, I’ve learned how much simple, earth-grown ingredients can soothe the body and spirit — for us and for our four-legged friends.

This gentle tea is made from ingredients safe for dogs with sensitive or irritated skin: chamomile, green tea, and just a pinch of lavender. It’s been lovingly brewed and cooled for a sweet pup’s skin rinse tomorrow.

I’m deeply grateful to now have my own private grooming space within the clinic — a quiet room where I can work with just one pet at a time. This shift has allowed me to lean fully into the peaceful, Reiki-infused experience I’ve always dreamed of offering.

Whether your pet needs calm after trauma, gentle support for aging, or just a soft space to be lovingly cared for… this is what I hold sacred.

With love and gratitude,
Rushena

When making appointments, could you kindly verify that your current contact number is accurate? This morning, I experienced an issue with a client who did not appear for their scheduled appointment. Despite attempting to contact them via text message and phone call using the number on record, I discovered that they believed the appointment was set for the following day. The client contacted me this evening to verify the appointment time, unfortunately missing their scheduled appointment.

🌸 Muffin’s Spa Day Transformation

At Rushena’s, we believe grooming is more than a haircut—it’s a healing journey.

Muffin began her spa day with soft curls, cautious eyes, and a heart that watches closely before it trusts. She wasn’t afraid—but she was discerning. Like many sensitive souls, she needed to feel safety before she could show softness.

And she did.

From her gentle paw trim to the quiet reverence of ear care, Muffin allowed herself to be held—fully and peacefully. Her bath was a brave crossing, and she walked through it with grace. The dryer, a challenge for many, became her practice of patience. And with every clip and shape, she bloomed.

By the end, Muffin didn’t just look radiant—she felt it.

She left with more than a clean coat. She left lighter. More open. More seen.

And she reminded us all: when animals feel safe, they don’t just behave—they shine.

🌿 The Rune I Wear 💅
✨ Gratitude. Magic. Full circle moments.

To my beloved grooming clients — I don’t think you know how much you’ve changed my life.

When I began grooming, I carried a heart full of dreams… but not much else. You showed up for me. You trusted me with your pets. And you gave me the space to rise out of a season of lack and step into one of abundance, creativity, and sacred purpose.

This little rune on my nail? It’s not just a pretty design.
It’s the Glade Rune — the sigil of protection, remembrance, and spirit-aligned creation.
I wear it to remind myself that the work I do, both at the grooming table and in the Glade, is sacred. It’s energy work. It’s healing.

And I would never have been able to start crafting the magical relics I now make — pieces that carry intention, clarity, and transformation — without you. 💛

Special shout-out to Kaela Brown, owner of the Beauty Barn and the artist behind this sacred rune on my nails.
Many of you know her as a groomer too — she ran the Stubborn Heifer Grooming Salon and now channels that same fierce love into her new creative space.

🌀 Thank you for being part of this journey.
🌀 Thank you for trusting me with your pets.
🌀 And thank you for unknowingly helping me walk the path of The Whispering Glade

With love and deep gratitude,
— Rushena

🐾 Meet Rocco

Pom: Cream + Tan | Energy: Gentle Warrior | Badge: Red Bandana of Bravery

When Rocco first came to me, he carried big feelings in a little body. The bath overwhelmed him. The dryer was his nemesis. And the table? That was a place he had learned to brace for discomfort.

But I didn’t rush him.
I didn’t restrain.
I didn’t expect him to trust me just because I was kind.

I showed him:
🌀 That I’d feel the tools on myself first.
🌀 That I’d pause when he needed a break.
🌀 That kisses were never taken for granted — they were earned.

Over time, Rocco didn’t just accept grooming —
He began to participate in it.
To lean into the towel wrap.
To ask for touch with his nose.
To give kisses when he made it through the hard parts.

And now?
He walks out like he owns the flowers.
Tail lifted. Eyes bright. Bandana proudly in place.

Rocco is a reminder that grooming isn’t just about appearance.
It’s about healing. Trust. And meeting every soul right where they are.

🌿 Beneath the Shears, a Gentle Energy Flows… ✨🐾

They come to me matted, itchy, flaking, anxious… not just in body, but in spirit too.

For over 30 years I’ve bathed and brushed, clipped and calmed — but since becoming a certified Animal Reiki Practitioner in 2019, I’ve come to understand something deeper:

Some dogs aren’t just dirty…
They’re carrying things — stress, grief, trauma, fear.
Some coats don’t just flake…
They’re shedding more than fur.

I may not have a quiet Reiki room (yet), but I’ve begun quietly weaving healing into my grooms:
• Reiki-infused hands
• Soothing, natural rinses
• Gentle breath and sacred intention

They feel it.
They settle deeper.
They remember they are safe.

If your pet has been struggling with skin issues, anxiety, or just needs a little extra tenderness… you’re welcome here. No extra charge. Just extra care. 💛
