WHO WE ARE

LetstalkNeuro is a podcast and YouTube channel for those with a neuro injury, illness or condition. Also for family, friends, health professionals and anyone with an interest in the world of Neuro. Join us as we dive deep into the neuro world – interviewing professionals, experts and sharing stories.

MEET ANGEL

Angel

Angel is arguably the cutest, and definitely a most demanding member of team Let’s Talk Neuro. 

Requiring near-constant attention, treats and walks, along with regular deep tissue massage(yes- you read that right!), she isn’t active on all of our podcasts and YouTube videos, but pay attention and her presence can often be heard in the form of squeaks and whines and the occasional drink of freshwater (she does like to keep hydrated at all times).

Angel graduated doggy daycare in 2016 and since then has shown many skills which most notably include, but are not limited to, chasing squirrels, sharing muddy pawprints and XXX.

Sarah rescued Angel from Battersea Dogs Home in 2012, and soon after meeting, Gemma became Angel’s pawmother (doggy godmother).

Angel’s boundless enthusiasm for life is infectious, she has a loving nature and we hope you’ll enjoy getting to know her too!
