A vision and the willingness to go for it.

My journey in this wonderful industry began in the early 1990’s. 

You could say I turned my hobby into my job, and I just love it!

I won ‘Best In Show’ at my very first grooming competition, after grooming for just 18 months. 

I went on become a Master Groomer, and have judged extensively in both NZ and Australia. 

I am an Examiner and Mentor for new Groomers going through their Master Groomer journey. 

I have competed in the breed show ring for many years, I have bred, owned and handled many Best In Show winning Shih Tzu and Lhasa Apsos. 

I am qualified to judge Toys, Working Dogs, Utility and Non Sporting at championship show level. 

Very proud to be a Life Member of the National Groomers Assn of NZ.

If there was one piece of advice I could give, that would be to always groom with love, and your passion will shine though x
