Break the norm, be a unicorn.
Success shouldn't come at the cost of your well-being.
The traits that you've been selected and rewarded for in vet med do lead to success up until a point...
but they're not sustainable.
This is your sign it's time to shift into a new gear that supports your energy instead of draining it.
What's a unicorn?
Unicorns are the veterinarians who stand out—not because they’re overworked or burned out, but because they radiate confidence, energy, and purpose.
They uplift those around them, inspire through action, and lead with resilience—not by pushing through exhaustion and self-sacrificing, but by working with their brain and body.
Being a unicorn isn't something you're born with - it's a choice. A way of showing up for yourself, your patients, and your team.
And each time you choose it, you create a positive ripple effect in your life and the world around you.

Meet Katie:
When Katie first came to me, she was a burnt-out veterinarian, stressed to the point that looking at her schedule gave her anxiety and disrupted her sleep. She felt stuck in unhealthy habits, constantly exhausted, and overwhelmed.
Within just one month in the Life Boost program, her fiancé was already commenting on the difference and she was actually looking forward to going to work again —her stress and anxiety decreased, cravings for unhealthy food vanished, and her energy was returning.
By the end of the 6 months, she was nourishing her body in a way that felt good, setting boundaries at work, and improved her sleep. Most importantly, she learned to tune into her body’s signals—leading to a life-changing Celiac diagnosis she otherwise wouldn't have prioritized amid the busyness of vet med.
If you're frustrated by well-being advice that sounds good in theory but doesn't stick—or by practices focused on numbers instead of long-term success—this is your chance to break the norm.
By shifting how you approach your own health and success, you can help set a new standard in veterinary medicine—one that feels like a breath of fresh air.
You're at a crossroads with two options:
Continue with the normal hamster wheel of hustle culture - overextended and wondering if this is just how vet med as to be
Break the norm and be a unicorn by:
regulating your nervous system - so stress isn't taking a toll on your health and relationships
redefining success - in a way that aligns with your well-being and values
adopting a mind body approach - so you end your day feeling fulfilled, proud of the way you're taking care of yourself, and with enough energy left to have (and enjoy) life outside of work
Let's be real. Your plate is already overflowing and when it comes to pushing yourself and working hard - you've maxed that out.
This isn't about doing more, it's about choosing to do things differently by combining the science behind how your brain and body work and tuning into what your heart needs.
Hi! I'm Dr. Amelia.
Veterinarian, Integrative Health and Life Coach, Consultant, Speaker, and Advocate for Change in Vet Med.
Since earning my VMD and VBMA certificate from the University of Pennsylvania in 2014, I have worked in small animal general practice, urgent care, and locum which has provided the opportunity to work in over 30 different practices including corporate, privately owned, mobile, high and low income, and both toxic and thriving cultures.
That experience combined with my extensive and holistic training and personal journey recovering from burnout has given me a unique perspective about why the vet profession is struggling.
I've used that insight to develop a variety of resources and programs to make it easier for veterinary professionals and practices to be thriving "unicorns" who are breaking the norm in order to create positive, sustainable change in their own lives and to lead by example in creating a much-needed paradigm shift in our profession.

Shift into a new gear: Unicorn Mode
The typical approach to success is like trying to get to your destination pedaling as fast as you can in first gear: it's harder and more exhausting than it has to be.
Now imagine you realize you can shift into a higher gear - unicorn mode - where you can cruise towards your desired destination with less effort, catch your breath, and actually enjoy the scenery and journey.
Unicorn mode is how you can have the career you worked so hard for, without losing yourself in the process.
