Hi, I'm Stephanie

I've dedicated my career to reimagining dog grooming - putting dogs' emotional wellbeing at the centre. As a multi-award-winning holistic groomer, certified canine behaviourist, and author, I share my knowledge through books, blogs, courses, and speaking events. 

My mission is simple: to make grooming low-stress, ethical, and deeply connected for both dogs and their humans.

Why Holistic Grooming?

Traditional grooming focuses on aesthetics and efficiency. My approach prioritises emotional wellbeing, recognising that a dog's experience, and how we care for them, matters more

I teach groomers to:

  • Observe and respond to canine body language​

  • Build trust using cooperative, low-stress methods

  • Understand how emotional stress can impact behaviour and health 

This creates loyalty, safety, and better outcomes for dogs, groomers, and clients.
