Veterinary Wellbeing and Leadership Retreat

I’m excited to let people know about a veterinary wellbeing and leadership retreat that I’m hosting at Nature Space Resort & Retreat Centre this June. 15 hours of approved CE in an intimate retreat setting focused on wellbeing and leadership.

The demands of caring for animals, while managing the complexities of practice can leave many veterinary professionals feeling overextended and burned out. With this retreat, our goal is to provide a space for vets to unwind, recharge, and enhance their leadership skills in a way that prioritizes their wellness.

At Nature Space Resort, attendees will experience a carefully crafted program that includes mindfulness sessions, leadership workshops, team-building exercises, and wellness practices—all designed to help them not only heal but also grow into stronger, more confident leaders within their field.

Looking forward to welcoming you!

Dr. Heather Gunn McQuilan
