This is for you if...
- You love your work but know something needs to change if you want to keep doing this long-term without sacrificing your health, happiness, or personal life.
- You’re exhausted and running on empty. You feel tired all the time, you’re snapping at your loved ones, and even on your days off, you're still busy with life and worry about work.
- You’ve tried to make healthy changes before, but nothing sticks. You want to eat better, exercise, or set boundaries—but stress, cravings, people-pleasing, and not enough ours in the day keep getting in the way.
- You’re ignoring signs from your body. GI issues, headaches, cravings, brain fog, trouble sleeping… you know your body is trying to tell you something, but you’ve been too busy to listen.
- Things have gotten bad enough that you’re considering changing jobs - or even your career, but you're afraid another job will be the same or feel overwhelmed with where to start. You feel unsupported, undervalued, or drained by clients and management—but switching jobs feels like a risk.
- You're feeling the heaviness of the current state of our world and never ending obligations and you want a positive, supportive space where can breathe and reconnect with who you are while getting your energy back and creating positive ripple effects in your own life and in the world around you
What if you could have...
Energy left at the end of the day—enough to actually enjoy your life outside of work instead of just recovering from the day.
A clear mind, better focus, and improved sleep—without relying on caffeine, sugar, or collapsing in front of Netflix to “turn off.”
A body that feels good—strong, nourished, and resilient—without restrictive diets or exhausting workout plans.
Confidence setting boundaries & prioritizing yourself—so you no longer feel guilty leaving on time or saying no to extra work.
Clarity about your next career move—whether it’s staying where you are, renegotiating your role, or exploring new opportunities.
This program gives you the tools to navigate life in a way that supports your energy and well-being—so you can handle challenges, hard days, and curveballs without sacrificing yourself in the process.
You'll notice a shift even within the first month...
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.
Why This Approach Works When Nothing Else Has
You’ve spent your life learning how to work hard, push through stress, and achieve—but no one taught you how to work with your body, brain, and nervous system to actually feel good while doing it.
- You’ve been conditioned to push through stress, exhaustion, and body cues instead of learning how to regulate your nervous system and create boundaries that actually stick.
- You’ve been taught that success means sacrificing yourself instead of designing a career and life that actually work for you.
- You weren’t given the tools in vet school to handle the emotional weight of this job—or to support our own mental and physical health along the way.
- Diet and hustle culture have conditioned you to see your body as the enemy—something to control, ignore, or punish, rather than your ally in life and the one thing devoted to taking care of you.
- You’ve been taught that willpower, discipline, and working harder are the answer—but the truth is, when you’re in survival mode, your brain and body won’t let you sustain those changes.
This mentorship helps you unlearn the messages and rules that have been exhausting and overextending you and replaces them with a totally different approach—one that reconnects you with your body, supports your nervous system, and works with your brain instead of against it.
This mentorship helps you unlearn the messages and rules that have been keeping you stuck and replaces it with a totally different approach—one that reconnects you with your body, supports your nervous system, and works with your brain instead of against it.
🔥 The Life Boost Approach: What Makes This Different?
This isn’t about willpower, restriction, or “trying harder.” It’s about learning how to work with your brain, body, and nervous system instead of against them.
The LBC (Life Boosting Change) Approach is based on:
- Prioritizing the 3 L’s for a sustainable approach that gives you energy – Love, Lifestyle, & Long-Term Success
- Balancing the 3 B’s to feel good inside and out – Brain, Blood Sugar, & Belly (Gut Health)
- Embracing the 3 C’s to overcome any challenges – Compassion, Curiosity, & Connection
We address mental, physical, and emotional well-being together—because you can’t address the root of burnout, exhaustion, or low energy by only looking at one piece of the puzzle. Everything is connected.
The Life Boost Approach works when other things haven't...
This program is so different from others I’ve tried. I’ve worked with therapists, nutritionists, doctors, but no one ever focused on me as a WHOLE—body, mind, and heart. And that was exactly what I needed.

Everything else I’ve tried only lasted a few months or weeks. I’d hop off the “bandwagon” and be back where I started. I know these changes are permanent. I am much happier and healthier with my life now!

Vet Med Conditions Us to Normalize Stress & Self-Sacrifice. Let’s Change That.
If you're frustrated by vet practices focused on numbers instead of long-term success or well-being advice that sounds good in theory but doesn't stick - this is your chance to break the norm. By shifting how you approach your own health and success, you can help to set a new standard in vet med - one that feels like a breath of fresh air.
My client Claire (DVM, '23 grad) was feeling stressed and unsupported after months of changes at what originally seemed like a great fit clinic, but worried that switching jobs would just mean ending up in the same situation somewhere else. She didn’t want to dread going to work or spend her days counting down the minutes until she could leave.
Five months into the mentorship program, she’s in a clinic that values her, confidently negotiated her contract and set boundaries (despite a history of people-pleasing), and has a schedule that lets her enjoy life outside of work.
She leaves on time, has energy for boxing and karaoke with friends, and enjoys easy, healthy meals that keep her feeling good. She’s even inspired her overextended practice owner to start making healthy changes too!
“I'm so glad I signed up for your mentorship course - I really didn't think I could get to such a good place. I forgot what it was like to be happy and having fun at work vs dreading every minute. Also, I feel like my base line stress is so much lower, that when things do start to get hectic, I can deal with is so much better - and I'm able to be fully present outside of work too. I'm excited to see all this year will bring ✨✨”
-Claire, DVM ('23 grad)
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.
-Sara, veterinarian

What I noticed right off the bat and I appreciated was a place of non-judgment and meeting everybody where they were. I saw it for myself and also for the other participants. We obviously put enough judgment on ourselves, and to have somebody who is there saying ‘it's okay to be where you are’ was really nice. It's not this expectation of ‘why haven't you done this?’ and ‘why are you here?’ It's just like, ‘that's where you are. No problem. What else can we do to move this forward?’
-Caroline, DVM, Medical director
When you finally stop fighting yourself and start working with your body, mind, and nervous system, everything shifts:
- You feel calm, confident, and in control instead of anxious, exhausted, or constantly second-guessing yourself.
- You naturally make healthy choices—without guilt, rules, or relying on willpower.
- You create boundaries that actually stick—without feeling like you’re letting people down.
- You wake up with energy and clarity—ready to take on your day instead of just surviving it.
You don’t need more willpower. You need a different approach. This is it.
Who This Is For (and Who It’s Not For)
This program is for you if...
- You love being a vet but know something needs to change if you want to sustain this career long-term without sacrificing your health or relationship.
- You’re burned out and looking for a way to feel good again.
- You want to work with a veterinarian who gets it because she’s lived it instead of having to explain why vet med can feel so stressful and draining.
- You want to wake up with energy, looking forward to the day and go to bed feeling fulfilled and proud of yourself
- You’re tired of feeling like your life is just work, eat, sleep, repeat.
- You want an approach that actually works for your unique body, lifestyle, and career demands.
- You want a proactive, realistic approach to supporting your body, mind, and career.
- You’re ready to break the norm and do things differently—because you know the way we’ve always done things in vet med isn’t working.
This program is NOT for you if...
- You’re looking for a temporary bandaid. This isn’t about forcing willpower or short-term fixes—it’s about real, lasting transformation that starts from the inside out. Most clients notice big positive shifts in the first coaching session or within the first week of the course —and those shifts keep building.
- You want a rigid plan with strict rules. This program is customized to you—your body, your preferences, and your lifestyle. Flexibility and sustainability are key, so you can create habits that actually work long-term.
- You’re not open to support. You’ll have all the tools, coaching, and community you need, but you have to the biggest break throughs happen when you're willing to talk through and explore the times when things don't go as planned or you don’t feel “perfect”.
- You just want someone to tell you what to do. Instead of another generic plan, you’ll learn how to trust yourself, listen to your body, and make decisions that truly support your well-being.
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" - you get it all in this program!
This mentorship is the program I wish existed when I was struggling. If you’re ready to stop just “getting through” the day and start actually feeling good again, I’d love to support you on this journey.
You worked way too hard to get to this point - now it's time to prioritize your energy and sanity so you can enjoy it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question you don't see? Contact me at amelia@lifeboost.today.
Life is so busy right now, should I wait until things are less crazy?
This is actually a great time to join - what better time to have more energy and support?
If you want to create sustainable changes, you have to make changes that fit in with your realistic lifestyle not when everything is perfect (when was the last time you had more than a couple of days when things didn't feel busy anyways?).
This program gives you the tools to manage stress when things are overwhelming and to get to the root of why things always feel crazy or hard.
You will experience huge changes in the way you feel about even if you swap 10-15 minutes of social media or tv time for 10-15 minutes in the Life Boost space.
Don't even feel like you can do that? The shift you experience from this program doesn't happen from bringing A-student vibes and getting through all of the courses perfectly. The shift happens from the way that you experience and utilize this safe space where you can show up just as you are - without a mask or being the person you think you're supposed to be. The only thing you have to be ready to do is to accept support.
Want to start the Game Changer course but you're having a hard time carving out even 10 minutes to listen to a lesson? No prob. Share that in the community forum and we'll talk through it or show up to a coaching call. I'm here to meet you where you are, because that's where the real change happens.
Do I have to attend all of the coaching calls?
Nope! The coaching calls are totally optional.
If you’re not able to attend the live call, there will be a recording you can listen to at your convenience if you wish. You can also post questions in the community forum if you’re not able to make the calls.
Even if you don’t have a question or topic you’d like to be coached on, I highly recommend listening to at least some of the recordings. There is actually a really powerful shift that happens when you listen to someone else being coached on a problem you can relate to. You'll see what I mean!
When are the group coaching calls?
The day of the week and time varies each week depending on the people in the program. I do my best to accomodate a variety of schedules so that there's the option to join a call if you wish to.
Each month, I post the coaching calls for that month.
What if I don't want to make changes to the food I'm eating?
That’s totally fine! This journey is about you and there are a huge number of resources to support you in all aspects of life.
This mentorship exposes you to lots of concepts so that you decide which approach feels right to your unique body, mind, and heart. I do encourage you to go in with curiosity and an open mind to make the most out of this program.
What is the cost of the program and is there a monthly payment plan?
The 6 month mentorship program is $1,800 or there is a monthly payment option of $330/month.
The Game Changer course in this program is RACE-approved for 8 hours of interactive CE (and you can get another 4 from my free Beat The Burnout resource), so if you have a CE stipend you can use it towards this!
What happens after I apply?
I'll review your application and then be in touch. If it sounds like my program is the right fit for you, you'll have the option to sign up or to schedule a call where I can address any questions you have. Starting this journey should feel like a weight being lifted off your shoulders!
If the Life Boost Mentorship is the right fit, you'll be able to get started as soon as you purchase the program. You’ll receive a welcome email showing you around and you’ll instantly have access to the private website, community forum, and group coaching calls.
How long do I have access to the courses?
You will have lifetime access to all of the existing Life Boost mentorship courses!
Often clients say, "I want to go through that again!" after completing a course for the first time. That's available to you. 😊 The things that I teach in the courses are concepts and exercises I still use often myself! Each time you go through the courses, you'll get something new out of them depending on your season of life.
You'll get 6 months access to the community group and weekly group coaching calls with the option to renew at a discount if you would like to continue having that support and community after the first 6 months.
What kind of support will I get in this program?
You’ll have weekly group coaching, community support in a forum where you can post questions or receive coaching individually from me, and feedback from the worksheets and monthly survey that you submit throughout the program so that I can make sure you're getting the most out of the program.
During group coaching calls, multiple people are coached one at a time. You can come to the call with a question or challenge you’re facing and you’ll receive 1-on-1 coaching so that you have clarity on how to move forward in a way that feels good. It's not guaranteed that everyone who has a question will be coached each time, but any question asked in the community forum will be answered.
How does this compare to therapy?
Coaching is a powerful supplement and not a substitute for working with a licensed therapist (I highly recommend finding one that is trauma informed!). If you have been diagnosed with a mental health condition, then I require a referral from your therapist or doctor before getting started.
The thing I love most about being a coach is that I'm not here to diagnose, treat, or to put a label on you. I am here to look at you as a whole - body, mind, and heart, and to help you to get curious about and understand why you feel or do the things you do and what you need to feel your best.
Mental and physical health are not separate. Our society is quick to put labels on and pathologize behaviors, but as you'll find in this program when you look at things from a nervous system and mind body perspective you start to uncover the root of why you do the things you do or feel the way you feel, and you're able to connect with what your unique brain and body have been trying to tell you.
I often have clients tell me that we quickly uncover insights, clarity, and shifts that they didn't achieve after years of therapy. Coaching is just different - I love it!
Can I work with you 1-on-1?
Yes, there is a VIP option if you are looking for individual support. This includes 6 months access to everything included in the mentorship program in addition to 16 1-on-1 coaching sessions (weekly for the first 2 months and then biweekly the last 4) and unlimited text and email support. Space is very limited, so submit an application to learn about availability.
There is also an option to schedule an individual 60 minute 1-on-1 session for $200 during the 6 month mentorship up to once a month - as schedule availability allows.
What do I need to do/be/have before joining?
The first step is to apply to make sure this is a good fit.
If it's a good fit, you just need yourself, a desire to create positive change in your life, and a willingness to try new things and to let go of old beliefs and habits that are no longer serving you.
I recommend going in with the belief that you will set aside at least 10 minutes a day to participate in the program - either by doing a lesson, putting an exercise into practice, or asking for support.
What's the refund policy?
I'm so confident that this program will truly change the way that you experience life in the most liberating way that I have a satisfaction guaranteed policy.
If you commit to following the program (spending at least 10-15 minutes each day doing a lesson or exercise or utilizing the community forum and/or group coaching calls to reach out for support and for help problem-solving any time something is feeling hard) and at the end of the program you truly don't feel like it was worth the investment, I will refund every penny. I've never had anyone ask for this.
Your success and satisfaction are very important to me. Part of this program is about letting go of people-pleasing, and this space is a great place to practice that. I encourage open dialogue and feedback at any point during the program if you are unhappy with the experience so that we can get to the root of what isn’t working for you and identify what needs to happen to create a positive experience. To encourage feedback, I send a monthly survey to check-in.
When you sign up for the mentorship program, you are making a commitment to yourself to prioritize what you need to create the change you've been wanting and ultimately that requires you to choose to make time for you. In order to keep you accountable and to help you to work through the parts that feel hard rather than give up, that's why I require that you demonstrate that you have consistently asked for help and given feedback in order to be eligible for a refund. ❤️
Can I just learn this from a book?
Okay, so this isn't a frequently asked question but I'm putting it here anyway. 😉
You really can't. This program is the result of me making my life harder than it has to be for the first 30 years of my life and a deep curiosity to get to the root of why when so many of us work so hard to feel healthy and successful the norm is actually to feel the opposite. ,
My journey involvee becoming a veterinarian, experiencing burn out, going on my own slow journey of recovery and self-discovery, research including reading TONS of books and scientific articles, doing a whole lot of inner work, slowly figuring out what I actually wanted, becoming a health coach (a 1 year program condensed into 6 months), learning how to tell my helicopter parent nervous system to chill, investing in myself (repeatedly), trying to figure out how to start and run a business, making lots of mistakes, learning from those mistakes, doing more inner work, doing more research with a whole lot of trial and error, becoming certified in integrative change work + life coaching, loving that so much I got certified in hypnosis followed by the PQ program, plus many other additional training and workshops, and then realizing that I wanted to condense everything that I've learned into one 6 month program that simplifies things one small step at a time.
You truly can’t get this info and approach anywhere else. I can confidently say this program will transform the way you experience life in ways you can't even imagine right now.
I saw you're certified in integrative change work. What is that?
Integrative change work feels like magic, but it uses a variety of evidence-based techniques (from modalities like neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), EFT, etc.) to change patterns and habits at the unconscious level. It’s seriously the coolest. 🤩 The best part is that it’s fun and conversational.
Integrative change work is about empowering YOU with an understanding of how your brain works and equipping you with tools to understand how to calm your nervous system, identify unconscious patterns and habits that aren’t working for you, and to reprogram your brain so that you can create the change you want on an emotional, physical, and mental level. Let’s go over an example!
Here’s an example of what integrative change work can look like…
Say that you’re always anxious and you’re starting to notice how much that’s impacting other areas of your life - you keep stress eating food that doesn’t make you feel good, you’re not getting enough sleep, and you’re starting to snap at your partner over things that aren’t a big deal. You decide you don’t want to stay stuck in this pattern, so you schedule a coaching session because the thought of having support and guidance to feel better gives you a big sense of relief.
During our first session, you tell me all the things that are feeling overwhelming right now and you mention that you’re a “worrier”. ⭐️ That’s an opportunity for us to change that unconscious pattern of worrying! ⭐️
Saying you’re a “worrier” is a big generalization and it becomes part of your identity, which makes it really hard to change. Especially because you don’t consciously decide to worry - if that was the case, you’d just stop doing it, right?It’s something that happens automatically which makes you feel stressed and out of control.
In reality, being a “worrier” isn’t your identity. There are just specific scenarios when your brain has decided it’s helpful to worry, so it has created that habit.Your brain LOVES patterns, because thinking consciously takes a lot of energy. Imagine if every time you drove a car, it was like driving for the first time because you had to consciously think about where everything is like the gas and brake pedal, blinker, review mirror, etc. That would be exhausting! Thankfully, now you’re able to do most of those things unconsciously so that you can cruise down the road, let your mind wander or talk to someone, dance, or even eat because you don’t have to consciously think about how to drive.
Habits are like little highways in your brain. In the case of worrying, your brain has just created lots of highways that all lead to the destination “WORRY”. In order to create change, we start to identify specific scenarios (highways) that lead to worry so that we can create a new neural path/highway towards how you want to feel instead - like it’s not a big deal or even confident.
So during the session, we talk about one specific thing you’re worrying about. You mention that you have a work presentation coming up that’s totally stressing you out. We have a conversation about it while playing around and using different tools and techniques to see how your brain and nervous system work and what helps you to shift out of that feeling of overwhelm.
Magically that feeling of overwhelm that you were feeling starts to dissolve and by the end of the session, it’s hard for you to even connect with that stressed feeling at all because you feel so different. You’re actually pretty excited about it. That’s because we’ve offered your brain a new way to feel about it! Instead of work presentation → overwhelm, we created a new neural path of work presentation → excitement.
Towards the end of the session, we may do a guided hypnosis to help you mentally rehearse feeling excited the morning of the presentation and then feeling confident and just as you want to feel while giving the presentation. This is a technique elite athletes use, because it lights up the neural network in your brain as if you were actually doing it to practice and help to prepare you.
By the end of the session, you have several anti-anxiety tools to use so that if your brain starts to worry about something it’s not a big deal. You can put up a roadblock on that highway, calm your nervous system, and continue to create new neural paths towards calm instead of overwhelm. I also show you how to do self-guided hypnosis so that you can continue to do mental rehearsal every day at home.
The more you use these tools and techniques, the more you reroute the highways that were leading to being a “worrier”. Instead of being a worrier, you feel empowered because your brain has stopped always playing out the worst case scenarios and even when you do start to worry, you no longer get caught in that cycle of overwhelm because you know how to change it. You just notice that it’s happening, you use a pattern interrupt to decrease your stress and shift out of that state so that you can do something more helpful instead.
Pretty cool, right? This is why during my certification training, I kept saying to my husband, “I feel like a wizard”. It was just so mind-blowing how effective this is in creating change. Thanks to neural plasticity, your brain is VERY capable of rewiring and creating new automatic patterns that work for you instead of against you. Once you learn how, you’ll be amazed at how quickly things start to change!
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
Break the norm, be a unicorn.
