Meet the Team
You!
Nobody knows your pet like you do. When you bring your pet to Active Pet Rehab, you become a part of our rehabilitation team. In fact, you’re the most important person! It’s you who puts in the time for extra walks, planned exercises, specific stretches, and you’re the one who brings in your dog or cat to us for their treatments. So, thanks for working alongside us and trusting us to look after your furry friend!
Carmel Keylock
Carmel is a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner and has been an active member of the National Association of Veterinary Physiotherapists (UK) since 1996. Her extensive experience includes working in a specialist veterinary orthopaedic practice from 1997 to 2002, where she developed a deep understanding of post-operative rehabilitation and the challenges faced by both surgeons and pet owners during recovery.
Dedicated to continuous learning, Carmel stays up to date with the latest research and rehabilitation techniques to ensure she provides the highest standard of care. She thrives on seeing her patients regain comfortable mobility, allowing them to enjoy life to the fullest—because every pet deserves to move with ease and happiness.
Stephanie Healey
Steph has been a valued member of the Active Pet Rehabilitation team since 2018. Her passion for animals began at an early age, working in a pet shop and as a stablehand while still at school. After completing Year 12, she qualified as a veterinary nurse in 2005, and she was among the early graduates of Australia's first canine hydrotherapy course, laying the foundation for a career dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of companion animals.
With qualifications and experience as a veterinary nurse, canine hydrotherapist, and professional dog groomer, Steph brings a wealth of knowledge and a well-rounded approach to her role as Rehabilitation Assistant, working alongside Carmel to help pets achieve the best possible outcomes.
Alongside her hands-on rehabilitation work, Steph plays an integral role behind the scenes, assisting with practice management, client communications, newsletters, blogs, website updates, and social media, helping ensure everything runs smoothly for both the team and their clients.
Outside of work, Steph's energetic furless child keeps her busy and always on her toes, bringing plenty of fun and adventure to family life.
