BADA (Hons)(WITS), DipCABT (COAPE) OCN, CABTi Practitioner

Leigh’s studies and career path started in the field of human behaviour, working primarily with youth at risk. Her love of four legged creatures led her to change direction towards all things related to animal behaviour, and she completed her Diploma in Animal Behaviour through COAPE International. ​

​Leigh is a qualified Practitioner member of CAPBT.  She has a special interest in natural medicine for animals and grows and sources many unusual medicinal plants. ​

​As the Marking Manager, she forms part of the COAPE management Team.  When not lecturing, tutoring and marking the COAPE Diploma, Leigh spends most of her time involved in shelter work and working with clients. ​

​Her dedication to shelter work is reflected in several programmes and systems she has set up, and she is committed to changing the traditional model for animal shelters and improving basic conditions for all animals, as well as assisting families who choose to adopt a rescue.
