This is an amazing achievement and great news for groomer’s that work holistically

And the winner is…

I genuinely cannot believe I took home the trophy. Never in a million years did I think I would ever have the title of dog groomer of the year.

It just goes to show that if you believe in something passionately enough and work hard for it, dreams really can come true.

What makes the win even sweeter? The Holistic Grooming Academy got the triple with three of us receiving an award. 🥇

Consent grooming isn’t crazy, it’s the future and I am proud to be a part of it ❤️🏆🥇🐾

Woody, Maximus and Monty - thank you for being my motivation, my inspiration and my hero’s ❤️

What does holistic mean?

One of the first questions that always comes up when I say I’m a holistic groomer is “what does that mean?”

Being a holistic groomer means I offer more than just a groom. I take into account every single dog’s individual personality and adapt my set up or offering as needed.

Before I even think about picking up a pair of scissors, I look at your dog to identify any abnormalities or pain symptoms. I ask you questions about your dogs home life, their quirks and behaviours outside of the salon. I want to know what they eat, how often they walk, what they do for fun. I want to know how they react in the presence of strangers, what they do when they arrive at the vets and how do they cope with handling.

I learn their training style, what motivates them and what doesn’t. I learn their triggers and how best to manage them to minimise stress.

I work within their threshold to build their confidence and earn their trust.

I take into consideration their coat type and use appropriate products and equipment. I educate guardians on how to maintain their dog’s coat at home and can put them in contact with the right people if help is needed in other areas.

Holistic groomers don’t find a quick fix. We investigate a problem and identify the why behind it. We constantly invest in learning, not just about styling or grooming techniques but also about diet, behaviour, anatomy and the latest scientific advances.

I am proud to be a Certified Holistic Groomer and aim to inspire a new generation of groomers.
