All animals deserve respect. Cats demand it. ~ Aunt Stacey
Using a holistic teaching style with a compassionate approach, my training programs bring to light proven techniques that break free from traditional methods. Cooperation, not domination, is vital to achieve real success working with cats. Reducing fear and eliminating stress triggers are paramount responsibilities of holistic grooming, handling, and care. The body reacts to the mind which affects the spirit. By developing these skills, our relationships with cats shift into one of mutual respect and trust.
The pet industry is rapidly changing, in many ways for the better. Scientific research is proving what animal lovers have known all along; Animals are sentient beings who share our ability to feel emotions and have tremendous intellectual capacity. Working with this knowledge, we are able to bridge communication gaps and achieve remarkable success in our interactions with them.
My passion for cat grooming and behavior is equally matched by my enthusiasm to share with others the knowledge I’ve gained as a professional cat-exclusive groomer, behavior consultant, industry speaker, and, most importantly, cat guardian/servant. I’m committed to deepening our understanding of cats in order to improve their quality of life and the bonds we share. I look forward to connecting with you on this journey.
Public Speaking Engagements
One of my favorite ways of connecting with cat lovers has always been at trade shows and conference. I’ve had the honor and pleasure of presenting classes and workshops at these industry events.
