i live in the beautiful village of Stiffkey with my husband Jamie. I have always been obsessed with dogs, my first dog was a 15 year old rescue called Lady-she had no teeth and was almost blind and deaf but we loved her so much! She could hardly walk so we made her a sling and took her on some amazing hikes all over the country.

I studied for my level 3 City & Guilds dog grooming qualification at Milton College in Cambridgeshire. Initially working from a cabin in my garden. I set up Cromer Dog Spa in 2016, later returning as The Norfolk Groomer. I now groom at my home salon in Stiffkey near Wells next the sea. I have been grooming professionally for 10 years. I am also an artist and enjoy painting animals, especially dogs!

I am quiet and gentle, a bit of a dog whisperer! I work one to one, devoting my time and attention to each dog to ensure the grooming process is enjoyable and relaxed for them. I have two dogs of my own, an elderly cavachon called Crumpet and an adorable little toy poodle called Bertie.
