About us

We know veterinary life because we’ve lived it.

We’re Mark and Kellie — a vet and a veterinary nurse turned therapist.

Between us, we’ve spent more than 45 years working in the veterinary profession. We know the privilege of caring for animals, but we also know the pressures that come with it.

Real experience, thoughtful support

We understand what veterinary work can ask of you.

The difficult clients. The emotional cases. The mistakes vets and nurses will often replay again and again. The constant fear of failure and being judged. The tricky team dynamics. The pressure to get everything right and somehow carry on as though everything is fine.

We bring real veterinary experience and therapeutic expertise to help veterinary professionals just like you, build greater capacity for the pressures of the job, while developing the skill of self-compassion to care for yourself too.
