To my amazing clients, friends, and all of the sweet pups I’ve had the honor of loving over the last 3 years ❤️
This is truly one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to write.
Starting July 1st, I will be taking a break from grooming due to ongoing health reasons. My hope is to complete all appointments currently scheduled for June, but I may unfortunately need to make some adjustments as my body is no longer physically able to keep up the way it once did.
Over the past several months, I’ve been battling Lyme disease along with autoimmune disorder and delayed postpartum healing— it has taken a much bigger toll on my body than most people realize. I’ve always been someone who pushes through pain quietly and continues showing up no matter what, but I’m finally realizing that constantly putting myself last has only prolonged my healing.
This business, your support, and every single dog that has walked through my door have meant more to me than words could ever explain. Grooming has never been “just a job” to me — it’s something I truly love with my whole heart and got me through one of the hardest times in my life after losing my daughter. The relationships I’ve built with all of you and your babies are something I will forever cherish.
But at this point in my life, I have to listen to my body. I need to give myself the time, rest, and medical care necessary to heal and allow doctors and specialists to help me find ways to better manage living with Lyme disease. Right now, trying to balance my health, my business, and being the mother I want to be for my family and my three young children has simply become too much physically and emotionally.
Please know this decision absolutely breaks my heart. This is not something I wanted to do, and I’ve been putting it off for as long as I possibly could, but I know now that it’s what I need to do.
My hope is that with time, treatment, and healing, I’ll be able to regain my strength and eventually return to doing what I love most. Until then, I need to focus on myself, my health, and most importantly my family.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you all for supporting me, trusting me, encouraging me, and allowing me to care for your dogs over these last 3 years. I will forever be grateful for every appointment, every kind word, every referral, and every wagging tail and snuggles.
Thank you for understanding and supporting me through this season of life. ❤️🩹
