I have had a series of colourful careers - hairdresser, Set and Stage designer, Youth Worker, Bank attendant! I came into the dog grooming business because I couldn't get my own dog groomed and set about doing him myself! I went to Bicton College and took a course in dog grooming. From day one I knew I had found something that would for fill all my passions and utilise the skills that I had already.
I have always said - Grooming is like creating art on legs - It's fantastic to help people move forward with their aims and ambitions and to see their dreams fulfilled into becoming a professional dog groomer.
