Although I’ve been quiet this year on socials, that doesn’t mean it’s been a quiet one!

From teaching students, grooming your amazing dogs and achieving the Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement it’s been a productive and fulfilling year 🥰❤️

Thank you for your continued support, it doesn’t go unnoticed ☺️

As most of you will already know, I will be going off on Maternity leave after Christmas 🥰 if you would like an appointment with me before Christmas 🎄 Please get in touch asap, as I have minimal availability

Amazing time at Supergroom South West last Sunday!
First time competing for quite a while 😅 thank you to Kerry for agreeing to enter the doubles class with me! It was extremely enjoyable but not only that, we won the class 😁

Rudi is an absolute gem of a dog 💖 thank you to his owners for allowing us to borrow him for the day!

I’m on the look out for a suitable silk coated breed E.g English springer spaniel, Setter, Show Cocker Spaniel, that is hand stripped and comfortable with the grooming process. If you think you have a dog that might be suitable please message 😊

Today I got to spend the day with my lovely friend Lauren at Bacall's Dog Grooming
Lauren is an amazing groomer and it was my pleasure to spend the day at her salon, helping her with some new tips and tricks 🐾 🛁 ✂️

Today I did training with Gemma at Ashgate! She came to the salon to work on achieving a fuller leg whilst also working on my shape and finish of these grooms. Even though I have been qualified 7 years it’s great to continue learning new tips & tricks and to see where I can improve my grooms!✂️

Hi Everyone,

Happy New Year 🥳 as promised an update for you!

I will be returning to work on Tuesday 5th April. I will be primarily teaching and concentrating on the academy on my return and will have limited appointments for grooming, therefore I would advise to book your yearly appointments with me or at least 2 in advance to ensure you can get in.

Please let me know if you’d like to book in with me. I am happy for you to stay with your current groomer and if I am unable to accommodate you they will happily continue to look after your pooch 🐶

Once I have planned my days I will be able to start booking you in.

Please email for dog grooming appointments to:
[email protected] or via my fb page

Looking forward to catching up with you all soon!

Much love 💕
