Mental Fitness + Veterinary Coach
Empowering veterinarians and
hospital teams to recapture their
purpose, emotional agility, and meaning
AbouT You
You care deeply about your work- sometimes more than is healthy.
You show up for your patients, your clients, and your team, even on the days when you're stretched thin and tired of pretending you are fine. You want to make a difference, but the pace, pressure, and constant emotional demands of veterinary practice leave you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to regain your footing.
Maybe you're noticing the signs. The stress that lingers long after you get home. The tension you carry into conversations. The sense that your confidence isn't quite where it used to be. You're capable, committed, and compassionate - but you're also human, and the job asks a lot of you.
If you're honest, you'd like more than just resilience. You want a career and a life that feel purposeful, balanced, and within your control. You want to handle challenging moments without spiralling, communicate with clarity, lead with calm confidence, and reconnect with the parts of this work that used to energize you rather than exhaust you.
You don't need fixing. You don't need to be tougher. You need better tools and support that make sense for veterinary life - the kind that help you show up as your best self consistently, not just on your good days.
If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
If you are motivated, willing to learn, and ready to commit to developing your best self, then let's connect.
Our initial conversation is complimentary and always confidential.
Services
Veterinarians and busy professionals don’t need more pressure — they need clarity, steadiness, and a way to feel like themselves again. My coaching focuses on building the inner foundation that makes the profession sustainable, meaningful, and even enjoyable.
1. Individual Coaching for Veterinarians and Professionals
A private, supportive space to sort out what’s weighing on you and strengthen the habits, mindset, and boundaries that help you thrive. We focus on confidence, communication, emotional well-being, and practical problem-solving so you can feel more grounded and intentional in both work and life.
2. The Positive Intelligence Program (PQ)
This is the core of my work — a structured Mental Fitness program that helps you quiet the Saboteurs that fuel stress and self-doubt, and strengthen the Sage qualities that create clarity, resilience, and calm leadership.
For those who want to go further, a Mental Fitness Mastery option offers a deeper dive into the tools, insights, and long-term habits that sustain real change.
If you’d like to explore which option is right for you, we can start with a brief conversation. No pressure, no commitment — just clarity.

AbouT Me
I’ve lived the veterinary life from every angle: the long days, the emotional whiplash, the complicated teams, and the quiet moments at home when you wonder if you can keep going at this pace. Over the last 35 years, I’ve been a small animal practitioner, earned my ABVP certification, and entered management as the owner of two AAHA-accredited hospitals. I’ve supervised large teams, trained new graduates, and seen what the toll can take on the most passionate veterinarians.
Those years gave me a close-up view of what helps people thrive in this profession — and what slowly wears them down. I saw brilliant colleagues lose confidence, kind people carry impossible loads, and talented veterinarians doubt their value because they were exhausted, overwhelmed, or facing pressures they didn’t feel equipped to bear.
Coaching became the turning point for me. Through my own training and growth, I learned that most people don’t need “fixing.” What they need is space to breathe, tools that actually work in real clinical life, and someone who understands the emotional demands of the profession. I trained as a leadership coach and later as a Positive Intelligence Coach, blending the two so I could help veterinarians develop mental fitness, emotional agility, and the kind of clarity that makes the work feel fulfilling again.
Today, I help people strengthen the mindset skills that make tough days manageable, decisions clearer, and boundaries healthier. My clients learn how to step out of old habits that drain them and move toward a life that feels steady, meaningful, and aligned with who they really are.
Over the years, my family has been my anchor — my wife, our grown children, and the many pets who’ve followed us through every chapter of this journey. They remind me what balance actually looks like, and why helping veterinarians find their own steadiness matters so much. Life outside the clinic is just as important as the work we do inside it.
What I care about most is seeing you rediscover the parts of yourself the profession has pushed to the background — your confidence, your purpose, your sense of possibility. Coaching isn’t about perfection or productivity. It’s about building a foundation that can carry you through the real, messy, meaningful days of veterinary practice and life.
If you’re ready to explore what that could look like for you, I’d be glad to talk.
Coaching is an investment in you.
