SOUTHSIDE GROOMING·WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 2018·

From growing up “pet-less” to owning three, and getting to care for many others all day, my journey to becoming a Professional Dog Stylist has been anything but boring ! Ever since I was young my sister and

I always begged my parents for a pet, more specifically a dog of our own. While it wasn’t practical for our lifestyle growing up, I jumped on the chance to adopt a cat when I moved out of Mom and Dad’s house. The excitement of a new responsibility was great, and within the next 4 years, my husband and I brought home 2 more (a dog and another cat)! Always aiming to be the best “pet mom” out there, I was constantly researching about what I could do to better their lifestyles. This led me to my first job in the animal industry, at a pet store in Ottawa. I learned so much working there and got to meet so many wonderful pets and their owners, but it still felt like something was missing. After two years on the sales floor, some wonderful ladies in the back convinced me to give things a shot in the grooming salon. Little did I know I would be stepping into a whole new world, and beginning one of the best chapters of my career ! From feeling like I didn't know what I was doing for months and constantly seeking help and advice, to having new found confidence when a dog showed up and I knew exactly what to do. I had a ton of fun learning in Ottawa, and couldn’t believe how much more I learned when we moved to Northern Ontario and worked in a whole new salon. Changing shops really opened up my eyes to the industry; how diverse the skills and techniques are, and how there is always SO much more to learn ! When the opportunity arose to return to Alberta I was ecstatic, especially being able to continue grooming after moving out here. After 2 1/2 years back in my home province, the next step has arrived and I am finally working for myself. I am so looking forward to pampering your dogs at Southside Grooming, continuing my education in the grooming industry, and helping improve the lives of your fur babies as well. I can’t wait to share the journey with you and your dogs. And the best part about this journey - it feels like it is always just beginning. 🐾
