She also has a deep respect for older pets, focusing on comfort, quality of life, and supporting owners through every stage of their pet’s life.

Outside the practice, Nicole is busy raising two young children and Rupert her terrier cross. She also enjoys crafting, reading, hillwalking and catching up with friends in one of the wonderful coffee shops in the area.
