CCL injuries are common in dogs, but early signs can be easy to miss. 🐶

Early care can make a big difference in comfort, recovery, and joint health.

See any of these signs? Give us a call, we’re ready to guide your dog back to happy, pain-free movement.🐾

" Legend has it that on the night of the nativity whosoever ventures out into great snows bearing a succulent bone for a lost and lamenting hound, a wisp of hay for a shivering horse, a warm cloak for a stranded wayfarer, a garland of bright berries for one who has worn chains, a dish of crumbs for all huddled birds who thought their song was dead and sweet meats for little children who peer from lonely windows- whosoever prepares this simply abundant tray, 'shall be proffered in return gifts of such an astonishment, as will rival the hues of the peacock and the harmonies of heaven.'"

There is just something about this ceremony... I have done it for years, with many variations, and each time, as I mindfully prepare the tray and set it at the gate... I can't really put all the feelings into words. I don't do it for the gifts "proffered in return." It just feels so peaceful to remember the connection to all. 💖

As 2025 draws to a close, and the rush of the holidays is upon us, I hope you’ll let yourself pause and notice the quieter beauty of this season. Take a moment to sit. Take a breath. Enjoy time with good friends and beloved family. Go for a slow walk with your dog. Curl up by the fire with a book and your cat. Spend a quiet minute brushing your horse and just being present with them.

Winter has its own soft light and stillness, and those peaceful moments matter. I hope you’ll make space for the things that bring you calm, happiness, and joy, and offer a little of that kindness to those who may be struggling this time of year.

Thank you, truly, for allowing me to be a small part of your lives. Wishing you a season filled with quiet beauty, gentle peace, and the company of the animals and people you love.

Our Story

Hello and Welcome. I am Mary Pat Corrigan, the founder of Blue Moon Wellness. It is my honor to have you here and to share a little of our story. We are nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Rappahannock County, VA. We offer massage & Reiki for animals and people, lectures, seminars, certifications and day retreats.

I am certified in canine, equine, and human massage therapy, and am a Reiki Master Level Practitioner. I have been a massage therapist and Reiki practitioner for dogs, horses, cats, pet steer, llamas, rabbits and birds. And people, too! In my 40+ years of working with and caring for animals, I have worked in boarding facilities; managed top show stables in Puerto Rico and New York; rehabilitated feral cats, aggressive dogs, and abused and neglected horses; worked as a vet assistant; trained dogs in sports; and was privileged to live with two award-winning therapy dogs. After receiving my first canine massage certification in Dec 2006, I opened my business, Higher Ground Bodyworks, in 2007. In 2011, I became a Certified Massage Therapist in human massage after 600 hours of training and passing the national exam. In 2012 and 2013, I re-certified in canine and equine massage with Jean-Pierre Hourdebaigt and his Massage Awareness Method. Also in 2013, I received my Master Level training in Reiki.

I renamed my business Blue Moon Wellness in 2015, in honor of my beloved Nadia, pictured in the cover photo of my page; and those are her feet I am working in the picture above. Nadia came into this world in 2001 with a Blue Moon -- and left with a Blue Moon in 2015.

In 2014, I was editor and contributor to the book, Troubleshooting Your Dog: The Ultimate Canine Fitness Evaluation Guide, by Jean-Pierre Hourdebaigt, one of the first and foremost authorities in animal massage. A member of the International Association of Animal Massage & Bodywork (IAAMB) and the Association of Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP), I have been interviewed by several media organizations, including an appearance on the CBS Sunday Morning Show massaging my client and winner of the 2011 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, the magnificent and dear friend, Scottish Deerhound, GCH Foxcliffe Hickory Wind, who now resides in spirit.
