Founder's Note
As I said from the start (see Disclaimer) I am no expert, no academic and no guru, I am and always have been a veterinary professional like you. In this noble profession I want to enjoy and thrive in my career, influencing those around me to do the same, true to my personal values, which are to make a difference with my aroha and to belong to something larger than myself.
From here we, those of you who have chosen to join us on our journey, will curate the updated content necessary to help us all thrive. We talk, we listen, and we find the people who will help make a difference and we grow.
We grow in knowledge, especially as it pertains to self-care, and find accessible tools to add to the toolbox which will make a difference to “me” the individual, “we” the veterinary professional team and “us” the business and organisations which promote veterinary healthcare globally.

How vets feel about the vetThrive Program
Billie
Veterinary Nurse, Christchurch, NZ
vetThrive has helped me to learn life lessons I thought I didn't need to know - how to put my wellbeing first, how to look after myself, and how to destress. This program has enabled me to care for myself and my team mates the same way we care for our patients, by recognizing our needs and providing a framework for personal wellbeing and health.
Sophie
Front of House Manager, North Wales, UK
Using vetThrive every day in both my personal and work life has transformed my perception of thinking for the better. Practicing gratitude daily has made me appreciate the small things and learning to respond rather than react. Although it is an ongoing journey for self-improvement, having vetThrive at my fingertips gives me the tools and confidence to live a happy, healthy life.
Christy
Veterinarian, Auckland, NZ
vetThrive is the best gift for yourself. It will help you to be kind, to recognise and nourish yourself, so that you can be the best version of yourself. The knowledge I have gained from vetThrive stands me in good stead to do my best every day, be happy in my job and turn up for the heartbeats at my feet.
Justine
Veterinarian, Durban, S Africa
vetThrive was a real eye opener for me. Skipping lunches, pushing through, poor sleep and regular burnouts seem to be a common theme in any vet practice I've worked in and while I THOUGHT I was looking after myself, it wasn't until I went through this program that I realised why I still kept burning out and what I could do daily to avoid this happening again. It has been a journey of self-awareness that has been utterly enlightening and one that I will forever be grateful for.
Erin
Veterinarian, Auckland, NZ
The experience of doing vetThrive showed me how significant the shift can be when we learn to look after ourselves. It allows us to give more to our patients, friends, and families. It’s easy to talk about doing self-care, but the vetThrive structure made it a priority and the results were palpable at work and at home. I still use the lessons I learned daily. It is a tool to help us be healthy career veterinarians. Well vets are better able to care for unwell pets.
Shelley
Veterinary Nurse, Auckland, NZ
Coming back from burnout has been difficult but working in a team who looks after themselves and their teammates has allowed me to stay in the vet profession.
