Dog Grooming™

The grooming industry is changing. The old way, fast, aesthetic-driven, and stress-blind, is no longer enough. Dogs today are more sensitive, more reactive, and more in need of care that honors their body, mind, and nervous system.

Here, we are leading this shift with the first Integrative & Holistic Dog Grooming Program™, a trauma-aware approach that goes far beyond scissors and style.

Whole-Dog Styling: From start to finish, groom with both skill and compassion.

Trauma-Aware Handling: Reduce stress, read signals, and create safety for every dog and yourself.

Harmony in Practice: Align your work, your energy, and your future with purpose.

Deeper Knowledge: Understand canine physiology, behavior, and psychology, so you care for the whole dog, not just their coat.

Professional Confidence: Step into your role as a trusted, respected, and well-paid expert in modern pet care.

myself. He gave me the confidence to be my biggest critic and to shake off the opinions of
others whose motives have nothing to do with me... ...Thank you Sasha, not for being a teacher… but for being a true mentor. A person who
guides me through my own path to enlightenment in everything I do, with truth, faithfulness
and love."
