Association of Canine Water Therapy

The ACWT was founded by Cindy Horsfall of La Paw Spa in 1995 and became part of the IAAMB in January, 2010.

The Association of Canine Water Therapy, ACWT, was very successful and growing with new members each month. Many of its members have asked about adding educational opportunities, an annual conference and insurance options – things that the IAAMB already has in place.

After completing an International Association of Animal Massage and Bodywork (IAAMB) conference in Seattle, Jonathan Rudinger (founder of the IAAMB) and his wife Anastasia traveled to Sequim, Washington to spend two action packed days with Cindy Horsfall, founder of the Association of Canine Water Therapy (ACWT).

In January, 2010 the ACWT officially became part of the IAAMB.
