Rekindle the spark within.
Evidence-based life coaching for veterinarians who dare to dream of a more joyful life.
Caring for animals can feel as demanding as it is fulfilling.
The responsibility to give animals the best care in an increasingly understaffed and overwhelmed field is a burden too heavy to carry. That’s why veterinarians and animal workers are experiencing alarming rates of depression, anxiety, attrition, burnout, and suicide.
Where animal welfare meets real self-care.
You deserve the same kindness that you extend to the animals and people around you. It’s possible to create a life of purpose that doesn’t leave you empty.
group coaching
This 6-month group coaching program is designed for women veterinarians who want to rewrite their narrative on responsibility, self-love, and who they are beyond animal care. With an empathetic community by your side, you’ll learn cognitive techniques to face the challenges unique to your role, relieve compassion fatigue, and find your joy.
Rediscover what makes you you.
There’s more to life than meeting the needs of everyone else. As you work with me 1:1, I’ll teach you tools to manage your mind, prioritize self-care, shed guilt and become your own BFF. By exploring every aspect of who you are, you’ll learn how to show up with confidence in and out of work.
