A soothing pre- or post-grooming experience incorporating Reiki-based energy balancing to help your dog relax and feel safe.
Hello, I’m Lynda—dog specialist, professional dog groomer for over 18 years, lifelong animal lover, and certified Reiki Master. I’ve recently returned to grooming full-time to offer something a little different: a quiet, cozy environment where your dog is treated with patience, presence, and heart. I believe grooming should be a gentle experience, not a stressful one—for both the dog and their person.
​
My approach is low-stimulation and centered on building trust, especially with nervous or senior dogs. I specialize in small breeds under 35 pounds, grooming one dog at a time in my home-based studio.
For Sensitive Souls
My space is quiet, scent-aware, and designed for calm. For dogs who feel anxious or have had tough grooming experiences in the past, I offer sessions at a slower pace—with breaks, cuddles, and calming energy work as needed.
​​
Energy healing techniques (including Reiki) are used gently and intuitively, helping dogs feel more grounded and relaxed.
Please note: I currently only groom small breeds under 35 lbs. However if you are interested in your larger dog receiving a distant Reiki/calming session, feel free to contact me for more information.
All prices are subject to change. Prices are individually based and dependent on coat condition, type of haircut, and temperament. Prices and extra charges are set at my discretion, appropriate to each individual pet.
Happy Clients
​"Our little Morkie has always come home looking absolutely adorable after his visits with Lynda. But it’s so much more than the beautiful results; Lynda treats him like he’s her own, with such genuine kindness and a calm, gentle presence that puts him (and us) completely at ease. We used to have to spell out her name in conversations because if we simply said ‘Lynda,’ our boy would lose his mind with excitement, racing to the door ready to dash off to see her. She’s not just an exceptional groomer—she’s a truly lovely human with the biggest, warmest heart, and we feel so lucky to have found her." – L.P.

“Lynda is the only groomer I trust with my sensitive girl. Leaving Bella at a salon used to be a nightmare but Lynda and her quiet home setting keep her calm. I love when I get pics of Bella chilling on a dog bed after her bath. Lynda is the best!” – L.F.
Bella’s Mom
“Whose dog loves their groomer so much that they jump out the car window before the car has pulled to a full stop? My dog when we go to Lynda's! I have to make sure all windows are closed on Sam's grooming day. He loves Lynda and I love when my boy comes home smelling fresh and looking like a million bucks.” – V.S.
Sam’s Mom
“I don't know how she does it but Milo is nice and relaxed after grooming. No more shaking and hiding under a chair when he gets home. Lynda is the real deal. ”
– M.B.
