About me
Dogs have always been a huge part of my life; I was born into a family of animal lovers and was always surrounded by dogs. Over the past 20yrs I have shared my life with Terriers and currently live with Bear the Parson Russell and Mr Bert the ……. well we don’t actually know what he is! and my amazingly supportive partner Dan and 10 very tame chickens.
A car accident in early 2011 prevented me from doing as much with horses and allowed me to direct my attention to dogs. Having attended many courses in canine rehabilitation I joined forces with Roz Davies in 2013. Building on our knowledge of techniques from human and equine rehab and core stability training we developed PawDimensions. We trialled our techniques for 2 years on our own and clients dogs with fantastic results and with our love of teaching, PawDimensions was a natural progression for us both.
In 2014 I qualified as a Massage Guild K9 massage therapist. This has advanced my knowledge of Canine anatomy and physiology, tissue injury and treatment.
