Before setting up Safe Hands, I led international project teams; developed and delivered training programmes; and ran European wide schools’ programmes. My roles were many and varied; full of challenge and amazing people and I loved it. But the long hours meant I couldn't have a dog and for my own wellbeing this needed to change.

 

So, leaving the corporate world behind I enrolled on courses that would allow me to work with dogs. I started volunteering at a local rescue and adopted my first rescue dog (Eva). 

​

I know that our dogs are part of the family and in order to feel confident enough working with yours I needed to enrol on the best training. So, after much research I studied with the leading organisations in their fields - the Canine Massage Therapy Centre and the Canine Conditioning Academy.

​

Running my own business and the change in my life style was frightening at first. But improved working hours and a dedicated home clinic allows me to support you and your dog both during a crisis such as rehabilitation after an injury and, just as importantly, for their general health and injury prevention.

 

I continue to add new skills and services to my business. But before I add any services I will have successfully used them with my own dogs. Only when I am certain it is making a difference will I offer it to you and your dogs. I know my massage and training programmes works because I use them regularly to keep my own dogs fit, mobile and healthy.
