I'm a 3rd generation groomer.  My love for animals started at a very young age when I visited my Grandparents farm in Missouri!  My brother, sisters and I would spend weekend's (or longer in the summer) there and would help with whatever needed to be done.  My Grandma operated a grooming salon in the back of her farmhouse and you could find me there whenever she had dogs to groom. I would get right in and do whatever I could do to help her!

​

I have 2 fur-babies of my own.  Bella (Shih-Poo) and Stryker (German Shepard).  I've owned dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and I don't think my life would be complete without their unconditional love!

​

I worked in Corporate USA way too long but always wanted to pursue my real passion of grooming!  I attended the Animal Behavior College to fully understand everything that I need to know and perfect my skills. 

 

I currently hold the following certifications:

• Barkleigh Covid19 Certification - covering methods of transmission, sanitation protocols and best practices to keep groomers and our customers safe.

• Pet CPR & First Aid Certification

• Puppy Handling 101 - covering psychological milestones, ongoing handling techniques, overcoming common obstacles, and how to set your puppies up for a lifetime of success both on the grooming table and off.

• Hair and Skin 101 Certification - learned the basics around good hair and skin health. How to treat certain skin irritations, skin restoration, as well as how to maintain and care for a healthy coat.

• Vaccines 101 Certification - learned the science behind how canine vaccines work and what vaccines should be required to maintain a safe working environment.

​

I'm a people person also and can't wait to not only meet your fur-baby but to build a great relationship with all my clients!
