🐾 Meet The Team – Gillian! 🐾
Today we’re introducing you to Gillian, our wonderful Animal Mobility Consultant & Hydrotherapy Staff member! 💜💦
Gillian has been part of the veterinary world since 1993 and yes, that means she remembers the days of fax machines! 😂📠
Her formal Veterinary Nursing qualification came in 1995, and from early on, Gillian developed a real passion for animal behaviour, enrichment and mobility. She eventually opened her own business specialising in behaviour enrichment, with mobility work naturally becoming an important part of what she did.
Because really… what’s enrichment without the ability to get out there and enjoy it? 🐕💜
Today, Gillian has a particular passion for helping animals move more comfortably and confidently, and rehabilitation is very much her happy place.
✨ Her favourite part of the job?
Seeing an animal who has been struggling suddenly realise they can move independently again, especially when they're fitted with a wheelchair.
Gillian describes it as “flicking a light switch”, with an incredible change in their whole demeanour 🥹🐾
🦔 Favourite animals: Platypus and echidnas, the ultimate evolutionary oddballs! Although, truthfully, Gillian has a soft spot for just about every creature.
🐶 Pets at home: No pets of her own at the moment, but she's currently looking after her son's two dogs while he's overseas… in what has become a rather open ended pet sitting arrangement! 😂
🍳 Outside of work: Gillian has rediscovered her love of cooking and baking, enjoys a good book (mostly via Audible these days!), has a soft spot for vintage and classic motor vehicles, and treasures her wonderful circle of friends who feel very much like chosen family ❤️
We’re so lucky to have Gillian and her wealth of experience, knowledge and genuine love for helping animals feel their best! 🌟
