Compassionate Care and Support for Veterinary Professionals
Sonja practiced emergency veterinary medicine for 25 years. Despite her best efforts to stay holistically healthy along the way, burnout and physiologic impacts of that difficult work caught up with her. This lived wisdom, combined with the intentional seeking of evidence-based mental health/well-being skills and certifications, have fortified her resolve to offer care and support for those in the veterinary field.
