Veterinary professionals are trained to save lives. But no one trained them to survive the job.

Suicide. Burnout. Staff turnover. Students walking away before they graduate.

You’ve seen people disappear from this profession—not because they couldn’t handle the medicine, but because they couldn’t handle the emotional weight.

You’ve seen brilliant, compassionate colleagues break down quietly—or walk away entirely.

You’ve probably considered it yourself.

The problem isn’t a lack of resilience.

It’s the absence of real support!

Burnout in veterinary medicine isn’t just a personal issue. It’s a professional crisis.

• 2–4x more likely: Veterinarians die by suicide at a rate 2 to 4 times higher than the general population.
• 1 in 3: Veterinary nurses and technicians consider leaving the field every year.
• Practice managers and reception staff are often emotionally overloaded, expected to lead without support.
• Students—the future of the profession—report high levels of anxiety, depression, and burnout before they’ve even graduated.

This isn’t about individual weakness. It’s about a system that demands compassion, precision, and stamina—but provides almost no meaningful support in return.

That gap isn’t just hurting individuals—it’s hurting clinics, schools, and the profession itself.

Turnover is expensive. Morale is collapsing. Talent is leaving. The profession is bleeding out.

And here’s the truth: there has never been a platform built to address the emotional and mental health needs of veterinary professionals—at scale, with relevance, and with respect.

UNTIL NOW.

I didn’t create VETWELL because it sounded like a good business idea. I created it because I lived the burnout this platform is trying to prevent.

I spent years in veterinary leadership—managing teams, running operations, and watching incredible people give everything to a job that gave them very little space to breathe.

I also watched them break. Quietly. Professionally. Privately.

Eventually, I broke too.

The kind of burnout that makes you walk away from the career you once loved.

Invisible on the outside. Unmanageable on the inside.

I moved to Thailand to recover. To think. And it was there—surrounded by time and distance—that I finally saw the bigger picture:

The problem wasn’t just me.

It was the system.

There was no support, no structure, no space to say, “I’m not okay.”

VETWELL is my way of giving back what I needed then—and making sure others don’t have to wait until they reach their breaking point.

VETWELL | Dedicated therapy and coaching, designed by and for people in the veterinary profession—vets, nurses, managers, and students included.

It’s not a rebranded therapy app.

It’s not a generic coaching service.

It’s not another corporate “burnout workshop.”

It’s designed from the ground up to meet the emotional demands of veterinary life.

The platform offers:

• Online therapy sessions with professionals trained to understand the culture, pressures, and unique grief in veterinary work
• Specialized coaching to build leadership, confidence, boundaries, and burnout prevention skills
• Structured onboarding SOPs for every therapist and coach, ensuring they truly align with the challenges this field faces
• Flexible plans for individuals, clinics, and schools—because support should be accessible, not complicated

Whether you’re a veterinarian, nurse, student, manager, or the person holding the clinic together behind the scenes—VETWELL is built for you.

What Makes VETWELL Different?

• Selective onboarding: We don’t hire just any therapist—we match you with professionals who understand veterinary life from the inside.
• Beyond therapy: We offer coaching that supports both personal and professional growth.
• Cultural change: We’re building the kind of support this profession has always needed but never had.

Your Support Will:

• Build a platform with the right infrastructure and standards
• Onboard therapists and coaches with care and intention
• Make support accessible from day one—not “someday”
• Show the industry that mental health is part of the foundation, not a side conversation

We believe the people who understand the problem should be the ones to help launch the solution.

We chose crowdfunding because VETWELL is meant to start with the community—not private equity investors.
