I have been a registered nurse and midwife for 35+ years, working within the NHS, with a particular interest in helping women with phobias and fears and those traumatised by their birth experience. Combining that interest and wanting to help dogs, it seemed a natural progression to study dog behaviour.
I have a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and am a Certified Trauma Resolution Practitioner.
I enjoy working with puppies to lay a strong foundation of socialisation and trust, to help prevent future fears and also with adolescent and adult dogs with established fears, phobias and reactivity. I am a Certified Dog Behaviourist, Separation Anxiety Trainer, Family Dog Mediator, Certified Canine Enrichment Technician and Animal Wellness Practitioner. I have done further courses in Aggression, Reactivity, TTouch, ACE Free Work, Canine Nutrition and Holistic Health for Dogs and Zoopharmacognosy.
