Workplace Satisfaction + Well-being Survey with a Free Report
🦄 The Unicorn Vet Hospital Survey
Take the pulse of your team & lead the change we need:
From Survival Mode to Thriving & Sustainable Success
Veterinary medicine is at a crossroads with two options:
Keep operating in reactive survival mode, constantly putting out fires, getting caught up in the daily numbers instead of the big picture, and struggling with burnout and retention
Choose to be proactive—to create a new norm where the respect for and well-being of the entire ecosystem of vet med (veterinary team, pet, and pet parent) are prioritized and seen as the foundation of sustainable success
Sign up for the Unicorn Vet Hospital Survey—A Free, Confidential Tool to Help You Understand & Support Your Team While Leading The Change We Need
The Unicorn Vet Hospital Survey isn’t just about gathering feedback—it’s about leading the change that veterinary medicine desperately needs.
Whether your hospital is already thriving or you're looking for a fresh start, this is your chance to step into a leadership role and ensure your practice is a place where people want to stay and can thrive.
Because here's the reality:
⚠️ 51% of employees who leave say that in the 3 months before they left, management never talked to them about their job satisfaction or future in the company
⚠️ We’re professionals at putting on a brave face, to say we’re “fine” even when we’re struggling.
⚠️ We've normalized living in survival mode, so that we're missing the warning signs before they become full-blown crises.
⚠️ If you’re not giving your employees a confidential, safe way to provide feedback from a holistic mind body perspective, you're probably missing signs of burnout, dissatisfaction, or disengagement.
This survey is like a physical exam for your practice—take the pulse of your team so you can start looking at the root causes, patterns, and opportunities for transformation.
Missing warning signs leads to bigger problems:
unexpected resignations
bullying & drama
toxic work environments
teams constantly getting sick because everyone is running on empty
mistakes and decreased productivity
Being proactive means identifying issues before they spiral out of control.
Is your practice a unicorn? Let's find out!
A unicorn veterinary hospital is one where the team feels:
✨ Respected, valued, and supported
✨ Set up for success with a sustainable workload
✨ Able to practice high-quality medicine in a way that feels fulfilling
✨ Part of a culture that prioritizes well-being and retention
You don’t have to be perfect—you just need to be committed to making positive change.

- Work-life balance & stress levels
- Psychological safety & how comfortable employees feel sharing concerns
- What’s working well & where you have the biggest opportunities for growth
Your free report will give you clear insights so you can focus on what truly matters—before small frustrations turn into turnover, disengagement, or bigger problems.

The Bigger Picture: Joining the Unicorn Movement to Uplift and Unite The Profession
The U in UNICORN stands for "Uplift & Unite"—because true leadership is about lifting others up and creating a collective shift toward something better.
This isn't about "us vs them" or pointing blame.
The Unicorn Vet Hospital List is designed to empower every hospital with the ability to be a unicorn, so together we can move out of survival mode and into a thriving, sustainable future for veterinary medicine.
✨ Being a unicorn isn’t a destination—it’s a daily choice.
It doesn’t matter what your starting point is.
What matters is that you share the vision of a brighter, more sustainable profession and are ready to embrace the feedback from your team with compassion and curiosity so that you can move forward in prioritizing the well-being of YOU and your team.
By creating a resource where it’s easy to find veterinary practices that prioritize what truly matters—well-being, connection, and sustainability—we can shift the profession from simply getting by (or getting distracted by daily numbers) to one where everyone thrives.
Together, we can create a new norm in veterinary medicine—one where the best hospitals attract the best talent, where well-being is a priority, and where every practice has the tools to succeed.
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" who are breaking the norm in order to create positive, sustainable change in their own lives and to lead by example in creating a much-needed paradigm shift in our profession.
