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.

Sabrina Smart

Sabrina joined the Active Pet Rehabilitation team in September 2020, bringing a wealth of experience in both human and animal therapy. As an Occupational Therapist, Companion Animal Tellington TTouch (TTouch) Practitioner, Emmett4Dogs Practitioner (Level 2), and Certified Canine Hydrotherapist, she is dedicated to improving the wellbeing of
every dog she works with.

Her passion for rehabilitation extends beyond clinical settings—Sabrina has worked extensively with rescue dogs in shelters, lending her expertise to help animals in need in South Africa and Sydney. Now based in Perth, we’re fortunate that she has chosen to continue her work in canine rehabilitation, combining her diverse skill set to support dogs on their journey to recovery and wellness.

Stephanie Healey

Steph has been a valued member of the Active Pet Rehabilitation team since 2018. Her passion for animals started early, working in a pet shop and as a stablehand while still in school. After completing Year 12, she became a qualified veterinary nurse in 2005 and was one of the early graduates of Australia’s first canine hydrotherapy course, putting her expertise to great use ever since. As a veterinary nurse, hydrotherapist, and experienced dog groomer, Steph brings a well-rounded approach to animal care in her role as a rehabilitation assistant alongside Carmel.

Beyond hands-on rehabilitation, she works behind the scenes, assisting Carmel with newsletters, blogs, website updates, social media, and general management—helping keep everything running smoothly.

At home, Steph stays busy with her beloved pets—Meow, a Burmese, and Nala, a rabbit—but her most energetic companion is her beautiful furless child, who keeps her on her toes!
