masseuses, and groomers in the United States. She has treated and groomed private pet
clients of celebrities at the Versace Mansion to photographer Bruce Weber to the
Jazzy Streets in Harlem.
Friendly blocks and stoops of Brooklyn where I grew up my sisters and I were always spotting a
hound looking shabby eating scraps from the garbage can. My basement became a hiding place from
the bitter cold for many of these dogs and cats. In the early 80's as an aspiring ballerina, dog and cat
grooming never crossed my mind, I was too focused on becoming a dancer. One afternoon I was
invited to an Animal Rights Demonstration in Bryant Park near 42 Street I was SHOCKED to
see such graphic pictures of the cruelty done to our furry friends. After that experience I couldn't just
sit around doing nothing about it, so I got involved with PETA as an Animal rights activist
petitioning and rallying in the streets of New York City. I became a voice for the voiceless
in defense of animals from the whales, baby seals, cats, dogs, Baboons and the furry Raccoons.
A few years later I stumbled upon a flyer, Dog Grooming School, I thought bows and painted
toes not for me on the otherhand I said, I could make house calls educate the people on these
issues and Pet nutrition. In 1990 I began my journey trimming, scrubbing dogs and cats and meeting
wonderful people too.
