Private Coaching
Rewire your thoughts, shed guilt, and live life on your own terms with the support of an experienced coach.
Animal care professionals carry a burden of responsibility that no person can sustain.
Internal pressures compounded by unrealistic societal and patriarchal conditioning can cause women in veterinary medicine and animal welfare to lose themselves in an effort to meet all the needs around them. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Love yourself. Love your life.
My 1:1 coaching packages give you a safe place to develop the tools you need to discover yourself, own your truth, celebrate your passions, and live the life of your dreams.
You deserve your own kindness.
I work specifically with veterinarians, veterinary professionals and animal workers who suffer from compassion fatigue and burnout despite feeling called to their work. In my 25+ years of experience in veterinary medicine, I’ve seen how women in this field give endlessly without ever turning their compassion inward. Inside my 1:1 coaching packages, I’ll teach you cognitive skills to reverse compassion fatigue and burnout, break free from unrealistic internal and societal expectations, and reclaim your life.
Hi! I’m Julie.
I’m a Compassion Fatigue Specialist and Certified Life Coach with over 25 years of experience in veterinary medicine. I know firsthand the joy and heaviness that’s unique to this industry, and the impact that compassion fatigue, burnout, and moral stress have on mental health. I equip veterinarians, animal welfare professionals, lab animal advocates and other animal workers with cognitive tools to feel better, create healthy boundaries, stop the cycle of guilt and burnout, and reclaim their lives.
