From Burnout to Balance
Building Thriving Veterinary Professionals
Do you question your ability to stay in this profession long-term?
Have feelings of exhaustion and cynicism become your norm?
Are you looking for healthier ways to cope and manage your life more effectively?
Up to half of veterinary professionals are feeling burnt out and lack the knowledge and skills to recover. The fundamentals of maintaining mental health and wellbeing are still absent from most veterinary curriculums leaving veterinary team members ill-equipped to manage the daily demands and stressors of our jobs.
And while there are systemic problems in our profession that contribute to burnout and must also be addressed, the reality is that those challenges are going to persist for some time.
Instead of waiting for things outside of you to shift, why not take the plunge and implement tools for wellbeing and balance right now?
Scientific research and the experience of veterinary wellbeing and mental health professionals demonstrates that change IS possible and it starts from within.
By incorporating strategies for mental health, work-life separation, healthy boundaries, habit change, and self-care, establishing a foundation of wellbeing is possible and will arm you with the tools needed to stay in this profession long-term.
Years of offering this intensive 8-week program have demonstrated life-altering changes in the personal and professional lives of veterinary team members.

This program came along at the perfect time for me. I was experiencing burnout and not wanting to continue with clinical practice but feeling like I didn’t have any other good options. I was incredibly stressed and anxious. The self-reflection and self-examination exercises really helped clarify how I felt about things and gave me tools that I can use in other parts of my life. I am calmer and much less anxious and frustrated. I feel much more capable of setting boundaries and making good decisions for myself. I now feel like I have so very many options and I'm asking for what I need, without fear.

I feel this is a must-do program for every veterinary professional, regardless of the stage of your career. Marie taught us strategies and lessons that were never, ever covered in school (or regular life).

I joined From Burnout to Balance to gain some insight into developing some new, beneficial habits. The program definitely gave me a platform from which to do that. I also connected with others in my profession who are sharing similar struggles so that I know I am not alone. I feel that everyone in our profession would benefit from this program.

I received so much help, assistance, growth, and support with Marie's wonderful program! She offered so much, and all professionally prepared and presented. I cannot believe how powerful and purposeful all the content has been, it's like Marie was personally reaching into my world and making it much better each week. I have gained so much in the last 8 weeks - Marie saved my career, my marriage, and my future professional life while serving others, as I prepare to eventually retire.

Marie forever changed the way I feel about veterinary medicine. I love my job, but I am so happy to know that it doesn’t have to consume all aspects of my life. Her guidance meant so much to me and I will be forever grateful.

When I first heard about the program, I was hesitant to sign up. I felt that it could help me, but I wasn't convinced. A year later, I was still at the same point, with a certain uneasiness about my work. Great decision! I enjoyed every aspect of the program. After 8 weeks, I find myself equipped to work on certain aspects of my personal and professional life and I know myself better. Marie has been a wonderful guide on this journey to fulfillment.

I strongly recommend this program to anyone in the veterinary profession! I have not been great at self-care over the years...as it turns out…all my self-care routines have been a coping mechanism! This program has been invaluable to me. I have learned so much information that is easy to use and put into practice. I feel like a re-wired individual on my way to a successful healthy lifestyle!

This program was so amazing and I got so much more out of it than I expected. There are so many great topics covered and I have learned so much about myself and how I can help myself moving forward in ALL aspects of my life. I am so motivated moving forward and have a skill set to continue to build on, and I look forward to trying to help others learn the importance of taking time for themselves. It was nice to hear from other people in the Facebook group and with the accountability partner that what I deal with is not that uncommon in vet med and in the workplace! I think everyone should get this kind of wellness education.

This program has given me all the tools I need to make changes in my life. It has taught me more about myself, and how I function, than I could ever get out of a book. The multidimensional thought process that one is able to walk away with is priceless.
