In a profession defined by constant care for others, veterinarians often struggle to make time for their own recovery. What if stepping away, even briefly, could be the key to sustaining joy and longevity in practice?

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Heather Gunn McQuillan, veterinarian, educator, and founder of Nature Space Resort and Retreat Centre and AwareVet Veterinary Consulting. After nearly two decades in clinical practice and academic leadership, Heather now helps veterinary professionals restore balance through nature-based wellness retreats.

She shares how mindfulness, rest, and intentional time in nature can promote resilience, health, and emotional recovery, and why immersive retreats can create lasting change. You will learn how to integrate mindfulness and rest into daily life and how community and connection can revive your passion for veterinary work.

Whether you are feeling depleted, curious about retreats, or looking to reconnect with yourself and your purpose, this conversation offers inspiration and practical guidance for sustainable wellbeing.
