I am a Tellington TTouch practitioner based in Hereford. I am happy to see all companion animals either at your home or at a neutral venue.

I have always loved animals and have had the privilege of cohabiting with an array of animals during my lifetime. We farmed for nine years, and I was able to interact with goats, sheep, cows and ponies as well as train sheepdogs. I think that working with sheepdogs cemented my respect for these amazing dogs who work with you for a common end.

I was always interested in Tellington TTouch but was unable to follow this interest whilst working full time in the NHS and bringing up children as travelling to attend workshops and teaching was not possible for me. I undertook online courses in concept dog training and gained my Pro-dog certification but then found the online courses for TTouch. I took many of the courses and attained my certification in April 2025 after a three-day in-person training with Robyn Hood.

I now share my life with six dogs, all different ages and breeds, three are senior dogs now, and one is blind. My dogs have taught me so many things, particularly my 14-year-old Springerdoodle, whom many trainers labelled as “mad” or untrainable. A gentle cooperative approach has led to this formally crazy, energetic dog to become a wonderful, happy companion who loves Abalone touch on her stiff hips. My very tiny dogs tend to be anxious, and TTouch Wraps and the gentle TTouch help them cope with life.
