Natasha completed a Bachelor of Neuroscience at the University of Western Australia before studying veterinary science at the University of Melbourne. As a general practice veterinarian, she found herself most drawn to cases involving behavioural challenges. She also noticed that pets’ emotional wellbeing often received less attention than their physical health – something she’s passionate about changing.
To bridge the gap between veterinary and behavioural medicine, Natasha completed a master’s in clinical animal behaviour at the University of Lincoln, UK. While working there, she achieved Advanced Practitioner status in Companion Animal Behaviour and became a Certificated Clinical Animal Behaviourist (CCAB). She’s also a member of the Veterinary Behaviour Chapter of the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Science.
Natasha takes a holistic approach to behavioural care, looking beyond medication to factors like sleep, play and calming activities. By helping clients make small, practical adjustments to their pet’s home and routine, she supports lasting, meaningful change.
She has worked in busy behaviour referral practices in both the UK and Perth, treating a wide range of issues including aggression, separation problems, noise fears and reactivity. Natasha has also run her own successful behaviour referral business.
