The Life Boosting Change (LBC) Approach
True health and success add pleasure, energy, and fulfillment to your life—that means your approach toward your goals shouldn't drain them!
My holistic LBC (Life Boosting Change) approach combines an evidence-based understanding of how the body and brain work—including the unconscious mind—while honoring what your heart needs to create real, sustainable change that feels like a breath of fresh air.
Why the LBC's are a game changer
Prioritize the 3 L's for a Sustainable Approach That Gives You Energy:
Love
You need to love what you’re doing, how it makes you feel, and ensure your approach is kind and respectful to your body and mind. If your approach drains your energy and is motivated by self-judgment it will never create lasting success—you have to honor what truly feels good.
Lifestyle
Your approach needs to fit into your busy life and make things easier, not harder, otherwise it will disappear when life gets crazy - as it does.
Longterm
If you view your approach as temporary, your results will be temporary, too. Sustainable change comes from embracing a new norm.
Balance the 3 B's to Feel Your Best Inside and Out:
Brain + Nervous System Regulation
Long-term results require addressing unconscious patterns, nervous system responses, biases, limiting beliefs, mindset, and brain health.
Belly (Gut Health)
Your gut impacts metabolism, digestion, mood, immune function, stress, and overall well-being. Listening to your gut—literally and figuratively—makes all the difference
Blood Sugar
Rollercoaster blood sugar leads to energy crashes, cravings, mood swings, and metabolic chaos. Balance is key.

Embrace the 3 C’s to Move Forward Anytime You Feel Stuck:
Compassion
Everything in life is more doable when you know you'll be kind to yourself no matter what. Self-compassion can start now, it's not something you have to earn.
Curiosity
Judgment stalls progress and smothers joy, while curiosity opens doors to problem-solving, clarity, and ease.
Connection
Your health and happiness are shaped by every part of your life. Looking at the full picture—including body, mind, and heart—and choosing a path that's aligned with your values is key to sustainable change.
Why the Life Boost with Amelia approach?
You’ve tried self-help, meditation, CE lectures… all the things.
I get it—because I was you.
I did everything “right”—working hard, following the rules, and striving for success as a veterinarian. I was proud of my ability to do it all. I also normalized the constant stress, brain fog, stomach pain, and exhaustion.
I thought I was fine—until I realized I was burned out.
Since then, I’ve spent years researching, gaining certifications, coaching, and experimenting to understand why the norm is to be unhealthy and unhappy, despite so many of us working so hard to avoid it.
I combine that insight with my decade of veterinary experience and my entrepreneurship journey to offer a truly transformative approach.
You could spend years trying to piece this all together yourself if that brings you joy. Or, you can let me condense everything I've learned and guide you through what's most important for you —one small, doable step at a time.
With the LBC approach, healthy habits start to happen because you want to not because you're white knuckling or "should":
I overcame the mindset that I had tried everything, nothing worked, and nothing will — with Amelia’s help, I have named my inner critic, helped compassionately tame her, learned to partner with my body and mind, and love myself so much better. And I have lost weight, which I never thought would be possible for me at this point in my life.

Embracing the LBC's and Being a Unicorn Increases Your:
Resilience: See challenges as opportunities for growth and problem-solving and bounce back from stress and the inevitable tough days in vet med so you feel ready for your next shift.
Balance: Achieve career success while making time for the things in life that feel less urgent but are really the most important like being fully present with family and friends, enjoying hobbies, and feeling good about the way you’re taking care of yourself.
Magnetic Energy: People will notice your energy and it will inspire and uplift those around you (without draining you) because it stems from self-compassion and authenticity instead of trying to be who you think you “should” and seeking external validation.
The Truth About Burnout & Well-Being in Vet Med
- We’ve normalized and rewarded the warning signs of survival mode—constant busyness, impossibly high standards, and self-sacrifice—without realizing they’re unsustainable.
- In an effort to be “professional,” we compartmentalize stress and emotions until they overwhelm us, instead of learning to process and release them.
- We act as if mental and physical health are separate—but they’re completely intertwined. You can’t solve a puzzle by looking at only one piece.
- We deny ourselves basic necessities (bathroom breaks, meals, fresh air, hydration, movement) unless we’ve “earned” them—when in reality, these are foundational to performing at our best. Physiological safety is just as important as psychological safety!
All of my programs and resources help you to unlearn the habits and beliefs that drain you and only lead to temporary success so you can regain your energy and find the path that lights you up instead of burning you out.
The LBC approach is at the core of all of my programs.
Choosing your next step is an opportunity to practice tuning into what you want and what feels like a weight lifted off your shoulders instead of another should weighing you down.
