I started working with dogs in 2005 and quickly discovered that I was more interested in the human connection with dogs than I was with just the dogs themselves. As a graduate of theatre I was always interested in body language and the energy we transfer to one another. After starting my first solo business in London in 2008, I quickly realised that this was my job for life. Between then and now I have worked with hundreds of dogs and their humans internationally with great success. I have also built my own philosophy and techniques based on working with different organisations, studying great trainers and having a unique experience of working with people and dogs from all walks of life and cultures.
In 2011 I did my first shelter work abroad, in Zambia. This work was not just about the dogs, but about community and education. This work has in turn led me to work in Serbia and Greece where I currently live. In 2020 I designed my first education programme for schools which is currently in the national curriculum of Greece and for which I won a national award in 2023. I am also an ambassador for IntoRescue International. I am also a passionate musician and play professionally. I recently co-wrote and performed on a song written for the dogs of Greece.
My ambition is to give you a "toolbox" that you can use for your own needs and your own dog as experience tells me that there is no "one-size-fits-all" solution.
