Working in and on the floor of a busy companion animal practice has its daily challenges. With thirty years in the profession my journey from mixed animal practice as a new graduate, to world travel, to growing into companion animal medicine and business ownership has laid the groundwork for my education.

vetThrive is a product of thirty years of experiential wisdom. Translatable to support the individual, the veterinary professional team, and the veterinary business. Over the past 3 years in a veterinary workplace setting we have seen outstanding results. This remains an ongoing journey for better medical professional health, lighting the way to a place we can all thrive.

I am no expert (see Disclaimer), no academic and no guru, but 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.
