Grooming Background

Holistic grooming for me is about focusing on what your pet is most comfortable with. The intention is to create a less stressful experience, one they will not fear. It is great for introductory grooming for first timers and for those that have had traumatic experiences in the past. I insist on being honest with my clients about their pets needs and issues while I work with them. If you don't heed my recommendations after being told twice, it is unlikely we will work together again.

My skills and techniques have come from other groomers and educators, animal behaviorists, and veterinarian staff dating back from 2005 to the present.  I've learned from hands on training, books, videos, seminars, educational programs and schools.  My drive to continually educate myself has helped me understand what my clients need and want, what is best for their pets, and how to work with whatever behaviors their pets may have towards the grooming process. I only groom pets up to 25LBS.

My certifications include achieving a Master Certification in Feline Grooming from the National Cat Grooming Institution Association, a Pet Hair and Skin Certification from Dr. Cliff Faver, an AKC S.A.F.E Pet Grooming and Salon Certification, and a Pet Emergency CPR and First Aid Certification.
