After taking a course in grooming, Eve instantly knew that grooming and opening her own business one day was her calling. She’s always had a connection with animals and spent half her life in art school, so this was just a new medium for her to be creative and express herself.

In 2005, Eve began her grooming career at an east-end veterinary clinic, building their grooming department from top to bottom and in the Spring on 2006 SPAW Boutique was open for business.

The main thing that sets Eve apart from everyone else is her artistic ability, which is apparent on the show dogs she works on. With her constant continued education, Eve has mastered hand scissoring and is able to work on sub-breed standards. With her dedication and patience, she has also proven to be very good at rehabilitating dogs that have had difficult experiences with grooming. With many years of refining her craft, she is outstanding with challenging dogs and rescues as well. Comfort is Eve’s number one priority for all of her canine clients, handling them in a proper way to gain the trust and respect of the dog. Eve’s grooming expertise has extended to her team. Her groomers are skilled at the most technical grooming requirements for breeds such as Poodles, Schnauzers, and Wheatons, as well as drop coats such as Yorkies and Shih Tzus.

In November 2013, Eve became a Certified Feline Master Groomer (CFMG). This achievement has opened opportunities for her team and has now made SPAW a go-to for feline grooming. They are also certifiers for the National Cat Groomers Association, giving them the ability to certify future CFMGs and teach a cat grooming curriculum, setting them apart from regular CFMGs. In addition, Spaw will be opening an exclusive cat grooming salon in 2016.

When Eve is not grooming, you won’t find her Netflix and chilling. More than anything, she has a passion for triathlons, having competed in many Ironmans, Eve plans on doing more throughout the coming years as her kids get older. The outdoors is where she belongs. Rain or shine, running is therapeutic, but only second to her number one stress reliever, grooming. Eve’s dedication and courage fully embraces the Ironman Mantra that “ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE®”. In her own positive words, “Everything is figure-outable.”
