Supporting the Wellbeing of Vets & Animal Carers
Trauma-informed nervous system support for sustainable care
Maybe you have thought this before:
I’m always on alert, even when I’m off shift.
I can’t stop worrying about the animals in my care.
I feel like every decision matters — and mistakes aren’t an option.
I’m constantly trying to do more, learn more, give more… but it’s never enough.
The weight of caring, tough calls, and loss sticks with me long after work.
I can’t fully switch off, even on my days off.
Caring for animals is deeply meaningful — and deeply demanding.
As a veterinary or other animal care professionals, you hold high emotional load, responsibility, grief, and pressure every day. Over time, this can lead to chronic stress, exhaustion, burnout, and even disconnection from the work you so passionately trained for and care about.
Because you cannot care for others endlessly without taking care of yourself and your own emotional and physical wellbeing.
I am here to support you because you care and because you bring such crucial knowledge and skills to our animals and community, so that you can sustain your energy, resilience, and connection in this profession.
Why?
Because we need you.
The Deeper Context of This Work
I hold an ecological view of wellbeing and kindness.
Humans are not separate from the environment — we are part of it.
And you are working at the very edges of life, death, responsibility, and compassion. This is deep, profound work, often carried quietly and without enough acknowledgment. And it creates tension in the body.
You are not just performing tasks — you are holding ecosystems, relationships, and ethical weight. And perhaps you are holding your breath more than is good for you, too. Chronic stress and burnout are not personal failures; they are often natural nervous system responses to sustained care, responsibility, and exposure.
I see you.
My bunnies see you.
And I see the deep ex.hale your body is craving.

How Working Together Can Look
Support is tailored to each animal care provider. We will have a conversation about your team and organisation and about their specific needs.

One-off or ongoing wellbeing sessions, with specific focus on regulating breathwork
Teaching practical tools your staff can use during the workday to manage stress

Why This Matters
I believe you already know why it matters.
But let’s cover these points anyway:
Supporting staff wellbeing:
Reduces burnout and turnover
Improves emotional regulation and team safety
Supports retention in a high-pressure profession
Helps carers stay connected to the work they value
When carers are supported, everyone benefits — including the animals.
Healthy teamwork, internal support and a strong circle of safety are paramount in stressful albeit meaningful environments.
About Me
I work at the intersection of embodiment, deep coaching, energy mastery through breath, and nervous system care for those who lead with heart ♥.
I am deeply in love with my late bunny Nox and my bun Toto, both of which have received exceptional veterinary care, love and expertise, enriching my life every day.
My background includes HR leadership, trauma-informed practice, talking to the birds in my backyard, extensive coaching training and practice, many visits to zoos and wildlife parks, and lived experience of burnout recovery.
My approach is calm, kind, and respectful. I’m not interested in pushing you harder, fixing you, or pathologising normal responses to demanding work. I focus on helping you work with your nervous system, not against it so that you can continue the important work you do while feeling held.
Let’s face it. You are looking after animals and know close to everything about them. What about yourself?
