Building Better Boundaries
Fostering Balance Between Work and Life
Are you sick of trying to make time for yourself while having to juggle the demands of clients, family, and friends?
When was the time you said no to someone to prioritize yourself?
Do you consider yourself a people-pleaser or feel guilty when you ask for what you need?
As veterinary care providers, we are all givers by nature.
We struggle with telling others we are unavailable or that they need to see another veterinarian.
We feel guilty when we say no, or worse, we fear losing our job (or our best clients).
Which is why boundaries are so important.
You are not alone if you struggle to establish or communicate healthy boundaries.
In fact, most veterinary professionals have unhealthy boundaries with clients, co-workers, partners, or family members that have led to experiencing unrelenting anxiety and burnout.
Which is why this program has garnered such rave reviews from previous attendees.

Marie’s program was the best thing that happened to me in 2020. I don’t know if I’d have been able to cope nearly as well as I did without her help!

I highly recommend Dr. Marie’s program – it has been a life changer for me. Every session gave me insight on how and why we struggle to create boundaries with people in our lives. I now feel empowered with tools so that I can respond with confidence, remaining calm and nice while enforcing a healthy boundary. I feel so blessed that we have Marie to remind us to invest in ourselves and that we deserve it and we are worth it.

I can't thank Dr. Marie enough for her support in helping me stand up for what I need and deserve at work. It's changed everything! I’ve made several changes since the program ended and I now feel like I can leave work knowing my patients are getting the best care possible. My time at home has felt restful for the first time in a very long time and I owe this all to Marie’s program!

I had to have a good long think with my husband before signing up for this program just because of the financial component, but it was the best investment I have made in years. This program was so timely for me, and I feel like a stronger, better person for having taken it.

For anyone who struggles with saying no (either you don’t say it or when you do you leave feeling guilty) or who needs to find tools to help set some boundaries in your work or personal lives to find some balance and regain control of your life, this program is for you. It provides a safe platform to discuss individual challenges, learn practical skills to set boundaries and have a support group while we start to work our way through our challenges. The changes won’t happen overnight and you have to put in the work, but the information gained is helping me take back my life.

This program opened my mind to the idea that we control the direction of our lives with the decisions we make every day and that saying ‘no’ is saying ‘yes’ to prioritizing ourselves. I’m still a work in progress and trying to keep moving in the right direction!
