Presentations
It feels weird saying I've been teaching for almost 30 years now! I don't feel old enough to say that.
I started teaching at age 12. I'm a Fear Free certified trainer and a Certified Cat Behavior Consultant (IAABC). I have experience working with diverse audiences, ranging from kids to adults. I am available for webinars and in-person speaking engagements at conferences and workshops around the world. (If your event isn't in English, I'm happy to work with your translator.)
Please email me to inquire about rates and booking.

From Overstimulation to Relaxation
webinar for IAABC Pounce! conference 2026
Being a cat isn't all sunshine and catnip. There are a lot of things that can be stressful for cats, from big events like holiday celebrations to everyday interactions like discomfort with petting. When the stress gets overwhelming, we call that overstimulation. In this presentation, we will define the term "overstimulation" as it applies to cats and talk about how to recognize and address it. Then, we will talk about ways that we can reduce stress for cats and help them build resilience through intentional relaxation training and giving them more agency in interactions.
Registration details coming soon!
