Here's the Problem We're Finally Solving
1
Trained for Worst-Case Thinking
Vet school teaches clinical excellence but not mental fitness for constant high-stakes decisions.
2
Decision Fatigue
Endless choices with life-or-death consequences create exhaustion even great clinicians can't escape.
3
Imbalanced Context Switching
Client communication, team dynamics, and emotional labor drain even the most skilled practitioners.
Solving this Together
Dr. Anna Decker is a practicing veterinarian who developed the VisualVet framework after experiencing firsthand the gap between clinical training and mental preparation for veterinary practice. She combines active practice experience with mental fitness training to help veterinary professionals at every career stage move from 'lukewarm' to thriving.
