In 2019, Evelyn completed an intensive course to achieve certification as a handler to work with Mr Miso, our visiting therapy dog. They are working together to provide animal assisted intervention (AAI) therapy to aid children attending the practice.
In her spare time Evelyn enjoys spending time with her young family, pottering about her garden, training Mr Miso and experimenting in the kitchen.
