When was the last time your pet's teeth were cleaned? Do you realize the risks of anesthesia to your pet for the purpose of teeth cleaning?  Are you aware of how often your pets should have their teeth cleaned?  Just like humans, animals get a buildup of plaque on their teeth.  Keeping your pet's teeth clean is just as important as keeping your teeth clean. 

Although anesthesia has become safer over the years, there are some animals that, because of their medical condition/s or age, are not good candidates for anesthesia. Teeth cleaning remains a priority for these animals and JoEllen Craglione offers this service anesthesia-free. The earlier teeth cleaning can be started on an animal, the more likely we can minimize or prevent the onset of periodontal disease which could lead to cardiac, hepatic and renal problems later in life.

An increasing number of pet owners appreciate having a choice in their pet’s dental health and seem to be more willing to have their pet’s teeth cleaned at more frequent intervals because anesthesia-free cleaning is more cost effective and safe. JoEllen has studied and been trained in teeth cleaning by professional hygienists and has worked alongside a registered dental assistant for several years. She has certificates in animal behavior and communication. JoEllen has also studied with internationally recognized animal communication specialist Penelope Smith and animal behavior specialist Maureen Hall.

JoEllen receives referrals from both veterinarians and her satisfied patient's parents. She handles appointments at various Southern California locations and is able to make house calls if necessary.

Bill LeGrave began his Rolfing experience in 1986. After seeking various types of treatment for a herniated disc including medical in the form of anti-inflamatories, pain pills and muscle relaxants in addition to physical therapy he tried a more holistic approach for the sciatic pain down his left leg.

Acupuncture kept the pain away for 3 hour stints. Chiropractic treatments helped for awhile, but it always came back. After 5 years of these treatments he met a Rolfer who explained this common-sense structural approach to reorganizing the body. The sciatic pain went away after his third treatment and stayed away for 15 years.

Upon completion of his Rolfing training, Bill sold his wholesale greenhouse in Milwaukee, went back to college to take the required pre-requisites to get into the Rolf Institute and in 1989 completed his training. He worked one year in Milwaukee before moving to the greater Palm Springs area. In 2002 Bill completed his Advanced Rolfing training.
