"It has meant a great deal to me to have one-on-one time with you and learn from your expertise as I navigate the early stages of my career in exotics. I am very lucky and grateful to have come across your course. Thank you for your kind words of encouragement and support during this first month of my dream job. It has made a big difference for me to be able to refer back to you and make sure I am practicing quality medicine for my patients and community."
The recorded content to go at one’s own pace and case review during the video calls and the history sheets for reptiles especially [were the most helpful parts of the course].
Get 6 hours of practical RACE-approved exotic vet med training covering reptiles & amphibians most commonly seen in clinical practice.
Use plug-and-play tools like diagnostic flowcharts, stabilization checklists, and drug tables in your next exotic appointment.
Stop turning away cases and start enjoying the variety that makes veterinary medicine exciting again.
A small animal GP who secretly panics when a sulcata, beardie, or corn snake shows up the schedule (even though you want to help them)
A vet who loves medicine, but feels under-trained, under-supported and overwhelmed when it comes to exotics
A little rebellious at heart and craving something more exciting, meaningful, and challenging than another itchy goldendoodle
An ER vet who can stabilize dogs and cats in your sleep, but feels unsure or even panicked when faced with an reptile in crisis
A clinician who worries about missing subtle signs in reptiles & amphibians that crash quickly
01
because you'll finally know how to approach exotics cases methodically instead of scrambling for answers in the moment.
02
because you'll understand the "why" behind husbandry, nutrition, diagnostics, and treatment recommendations.
03
because you didn't go to vet school to treat just one or two species. Expand your skillset beyond dogs and cats and become the go-to vet in your area for exotic vet care.
04
by adding variety to your caseload with exotic patients that challenge you, light you up, and remind you that vet med can be fun.
05
because you'll be confidently treating exotics cases that walk through your door and won't need to refer every snake, lizard, and tortoise to the specialty clinic an hour away.
06
because you did it their way. Now it's time to do what you want. Say yes to the cases that excite you, stand out in your community, and create a career that feels like yours, not the one you were told you were supposed to have.
"Thank you again for such amazing content! For some reason I felt really burned out from my job and it’s only been a year but your course has given me a second wind!"
"I really enjoyed the weekly calls to review cases and materials relevant to the weeks course load. Having an experienced exotics vet review radiographs, bloodwork, cases, etc and give feedback was invaluable."

These short, approachable case walkthroughs bring everything you’re learning together so you can finally connect the dots and feel more prepared for the kinds of patients you’ll actually see in practice.

consisting of short, digestible lessons covering the clinically relevant information you need to start seeing herptiles in your practice.
Get real time support, case clarity, and guidance. If you can't attend, submit questions ahead of time and watch the replay.
Videos, slide PDFs, audio transcripts, knowledge summaries, diagnostic algorithms, and more to learn the way that works best for you.
Walk through real cases I've treated with step-by-step reasoning and applied learning.
You've got questions. I've got answers.
You are exactly who this course is for. You don't need a background in exotics to succeed here. The lessons are short, practical, species-specific, and designed to give you a clear, repeatable system you can use right away.
I've been there!
I built this course with busy veterinarians in mind. Lessons are 15-20 minutes long and easy to fit into your day.
You'll have access to all the modules for a year, so there's no rush to "keep up."
You can learn at your own pace, revisit modules anytime, and use the tools whenever you need them.
Most students spend 1-3 hours per week watching lessons and reviewing resources. The schedule is flexible - lessons are short enough you can watch during a lunch break (if you want to - hold those boundaries, girl!) or whenever fits your life.
Yes! The course is RACE-approved for 6 hours of CE - so you can enroll knowing it meets professional standards.
The live coaching calls will take place on Mondays at 12 pm CDT. If >1/2 the group can't meet at that time, I will add an additional meeting time (typically a weekday evening).
All live calls will be recorded and you'll have access to the replays. You can also submit questions ahead of time and still get the answers you need, even if you can't be there live.
The next cohort begins June 1, 2026. This individual species group option will only be available once per year. We'll start the coaching calls two weeks later so you have time to settle in and get familiar with the platform.
Absolutely. I've treated exotic emergencies for over 12 years in practice and now I consult for VEG ER for Pets exotics cases. Many vets enroll in this course specifically because they feel unprepared for exotics emergencies.
You’ll get species-specific stabilization checklists, diagnostic flowcharts, and real-world case examples so you’re not guessing when a critical patient walks in.
Textbooks tell you what to do. This course tells you how to do it. You'll get step-by-step systems, quick-reference tools, case reviews, and real-time coaching so you can apply what you learn immediately, without spending hours searching through articles or notes.
Yes! What most veterinarians lack isn't hands-on skills, it's a system. This course gives you the frameworks, confidence, and decision-making clarity you need to walk into an exotics appointment without panic. The hands-on skills, like restraint or venipuncture, become much easier when you understand the "why" and the "how."
Yes! You can pay in full ($1299) or elect for 4 monthly payments of $325 each.
You will have access to video modules for 1 year from the course start date. Once downloaded, you have lifetime access to all other materials (handouts, knowledge summaries, lesson transcripts, etc).
Here's what I want you to remember...
You've simply never been given a clear, practical system that actually works in real life clinical practice.
You're a smart, capable veterinary professional who just needs the species-specific guidance vet school skimped out on.
That alone puts you miles ahead - and it's why you're even considering this step.
I’ll be here to guide you with structure, support, and real-world tools you can use immediately.
More confidence. More clarity. More excitement in your career. If you've been craving more, this is your sign to go for it.
Your career shifts the moment you decide it does. If your heart is leaning towards "yes", trust it!
You already have the foundation. I'm here to help you build a system that feels doable, sustainable, and aligned with how you already practice.
If you’re still reading this, there’s a reason.
Some part of you wants something to change - maybe in your confidence, maybe in your career, maybe in how you feel walking into an exotic appointment. And I want you to know…I get it on a level I don’t often talk about.
When I first started out, I had no real mentorship in exotics. I was expected to figure it out on the fly, to “just make it work,” even when I felt completely unprepared. That kind of pressure adds up. And for me, it eventually led to deep burnout and a level of dissatisfaction that made me question whether I even belonged in this profession.
Then came my autoimmune diagnosis. Nothing forces you to re-evaluate your life faster than realizing the way you're practicing medicine...the pace you're keeping...the pressure you're carrying...is literally hurting you. I knew I couldn’t keep running on adrenaline and sheer determination. Something had to change.
And what truly changed everything was the moment I realized I didn’t have to keep living the life or building the career I was “supposed to.”
I didn’t have to follow the traditional path. I didn’t have to grind myself into the ground. I didn’t have to pretend I was okay when I wasn’t. I could choose something different - something more aligned, more fulfilling, more me.
That realization is what led me to rebuild my career around clarity, purpose, and the kind of medicine that lights me up.
And it’s why I built Exotic Vet Med Essentials.
I built this for the veterinarians who care deeply.
For the ones who show up even when they’re scared.
For the ones who want to love this part of medicine but don’t feel like they can yet.
For the ones who know there has to be a different way - and are finally ready to take that step.
You don’t have to keep guessing.
You don’t have to keep feeling alone.
And you don’t have to burn yourself out trying to piece this together by yourself.
You already have the foundation.
Let me help you build the rest - in a way that feels supportive, sustainable, and genuinely exciting.
I’d be honored to walk alongside you inside Essentials.
You’re ready for this. And I’ve got your back.
