Katie shares her journey from canine hydrotherapy into grooming, her experience in corporate salons, and how she built her own business after relocating to Devon. She talks openly about charging properly, choosing the right clients, protecting your body and your time, and why pricing your work well can give you more freedom in both business and life. The conversation also dives into Katie’s world of creative grooming, including how her poodle Joey became known for his bold, colourful designs, what goes into planning creative grooms, and why safety, product knowledge, coat condition, and the dog’s temperament all matter. Katie also shares tips for left-handed groomers, the importance of great prep work, handling dogs safely, and what groomers can expect from her one-to-one training and creative grooming workshops. A fun, honest and inspiring episode for groomers who want to grow their skills, charge with more confidence, and maybe even add a little colour along the way.
