About me
Since 2017 I have been the proud owner of my own salon in Moreton in Marsh, where we groom all breeds and specialise in breed standard and show grooming as well as coat maintenance and teeth cleaning. We focus on the welfare of every animal in our care, ensuring they look and feel wonderful when their owners come to collect them.
I have always been passionate about animals and had thoughts of becoming a veterinarian.
My first dog, a Rough Coated Collie, immersed me in the dog showing world. I thought I was in paradise and quickly learned that the most successful dogs were groomed to perfection. That became my motivation and that I needed to become a groomer to have showring success with my own dog.
Having started my working life as a chef, I swapped busy kitchens for equally busy grooming salons. Training with one of the best dog groomers in Spain, Lassie Gomez, who also trained with Umberto Lehmann, the president of the European Groomers Association. My career in grooming started with the highflyers, which suited me very well as I also have a pilot’s license!
After initial training and gaining experience with Lassie and within a veterinary clinic for several years, I decided to start my own salon in Spain and continue to attend competition shows with my beloved Scottish Terriers.
I came to England and studied for my Professional qualifications and was delighted to receive ‘Up and Coming Groomer of The Year Award’ in 2016.
Learning and becoming more knowledgeable is especially important for me and my current studies are towards becoming an International Certified Master Groomer (ICMG)
I love being busy working with clients but also enjoying competitions with my own four dogs, beloved Scottish Terrier and three poodles.
Being surrounded by my passion for animals is a wonderful and is far away from being just a job, it is most definitely a way of life.

Widening my knowledge by attending seminars on all aspects of grooming including skin and coat science, dog aggression, canine First Aid. Travelling to the USA for a five-day seminar on current and emergent grooming themes was particularly enlightening.

See all reviews (9)So happy to have found Cynthia. She is so professional but lovely too. My beautiful dog Dottie is a large dog with a very woolly coat and Cynthia worked her magic.
We have been taking our 3 clumber spaniels to Cynthia for 5 years now. Her skill and talent has helped us make our youngest boy Foggy up to his title of Show Champion, with many judges commenting on his wonderful presentation. Cynthia is not just a fabulous groomer she has become a wonderful friend. It goes without saying we cannot recommend her highly enough.
Cynthia groomed our lovely little Yorkie puppy, Belle, yesterday for the first time. She was a little knotty, and it was the first time to the groomer for Belle. I needn't have worried, as Cynthia did a beautiful job, and Belle now looks wonderful. She's smooth, adorable and smells divine. We'll be seeing Cynthia again in a few months.
