Back in New Zealand, during school hours, I’d often take Milo - my beloved pet, for walks around the lake. We’d meet lovely dogs and their owners, many of whom complimented how well-groomed Milo always looked. Until one day, someone asked me if I can groom her dog. My reply was: “If you trust me!”

That simple moment sparked a new passion — and that’s how my grooming journey began.

It started with just me, a pair of hands, one set of clippers, one scissors and one dream. Since then, it’s grown into something I truly love and passionate about. I still have days that are challenging but I believe in lifelong learning. One day, I hope to build that grooming studio of my dreams and maybe even train aspiring groomers or dog owners who want to learn to care for their dogs themselves.
