Originally from Yorkshire, Natalie moved to West Wales in 2010 to work full time with dogs in animal rescue, gaining much experience with multiple breeds and differing temperaments. On from this Natalie then started to work within a leading small animal Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic where she worked for 9 years whilst building her experience and knowledge in canine therapy before establishing NM Canine Therapies.
Whilst working within the rehabilitation clinic in 2016 Natalie relocated from Wales to North Somerset and in 2017 was inspired to advance her skills to a Clinical level so started to study on the Canine Massage Practitioner Programme at the Canine Massage Therapy Centre with Natalie Lenton.
2019 saw completion of the 2-year course and Natalie became a Canine Massage Therapist and NM Canine Therapies was established.
Now based in St. Georges, W-S-M together Natalie and her partner Jake built what is now named as NMHQ, a perfectly designed treatment room providing the ideal space for canine massage therapy. Natalie slowly transitioned from working between Wales and building her business at home to now working full time at NMHQ and teaching some agility occasionally too.
Dog agility has been a big part of Natalie’s life since the age of 15, thanks to her family pet who together were inspired to try it out at a local dog club. Natalie soon became enthused by agility and it became a big passion in her life. In 2013 Natalie achieved the highest status of agility with her dog Teek qualifying to compete at Championship level and then went on to represent Great Britain and compete internationally. With dedication and devotion to the sport and their partnership, 2017 saw Teek and Natalie become World Agility Open gold and silver medallists – a dream worth waiting for. Today Natalie continues to be involved in agility from both a Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation perspective as well as competing.
