The House Call Vet Academy

Most vets I know will spend anything on their patients and nothing on themselves.

Here are five things that are absolutely worth the money as a house call vet, completely off the cuff (purple hands and all, because I just got my hair redone 😂).

1. A vacation
2. The Calm Cozy cat wrap. I kid you not... there is NOTHING better
3. A business coach
4. Self-care. A therapist, a massage, whatever yours is. Your body comes first!!!!!
5. An accountant, an attorney, and a bookkeeper (don’t skimp here!!!! You’ll pay a LOT more later cleaning up a mess you could have avoided)
&&& FREE BONUS - 6. The RIGHT clients!!!

Number three is the one I’d fight you on any day of the week!!!!

You can’t read the label from inside the bottle. That’s why I’ve never built a single thing without a coach. Not my house call practice, not the Academy, none of it. You need somebody standing outside your business, catching the things you can’t see from in there.

“It’s worth every penny and more. When I left my last job, I was ready to leave the field entirely. I did some soul searching and told myself that since I’ve always wanted to do house call medicine, I’ll try that and then if that’s not for me, I’m going to work at Starbucks. However, I had no idea where to start. I took her course and there were things that I didn’t even know that I didn’t know. It not just walked me through the business side, it walked me through the practicality, the safety, the startup… everything! Plus- Dr Harrison is legit the best person ever and will be the cheerleader you need to get you through this. It probably sounds like I know her or I’m just advertising for her, but I just really believe in the course. I wouldn’t be in vet med without it.” — Dr. K

I actually keep my veterinarian schedule light on purpose. Thing is, my entire house call vet practice was created to complement my life in music too. I designed it that way.

To complement freedom of time & energy, to keep me available for moments like these. (Maybe that’s what you seek too?)

I don’t share my flute playing on insta as much as I want to. It’s a perfectionist thing... my flute playing is a tender part of my identity, & it’s scary to mix diff aspects of my professional identities.

But ultimately, I’m posting music into the vet side of what I do anyway, because I really do want to be seen in the wholeness of myself. PLUS, I think it’s SUPER relevant to starting a mobile vet practice, for me and I suspect for a lot of us house call vets actually.

1. There are SO many ways I’ve had to embrace NOT being perfect as a performer. And yet, I get up on stage again & again, work through fear at times, take messy action to share a piece of my heart through my flute. I’ve learned over & over... Perfection is not real. Giving from the heart is real.

2. There are so many ways that I am not the typical flute player in the classical music world. Yet I’ve been able to carve out a little spot for myself doing what I love.

Am I the next “Rachmaninov” of the flute?! Hell no. I’m usually “second flute” in any symphony I’m in, tbh.

But there’s always been a place for me (& YOU).

3. There are ways I have physically adapted my instrument to fit the uniquenesses of how I play (e.g., small hands, tendinitis, etc.). Adapt your practice to YOU, not the reverse.

Music taught me to find AUTONOMY & my own special place in the veterinary world. And I wish the same for you. 💜

I hope you have the freedom to create space for your passions. ❤️🎼🎶

"What if the patients never come?" That fear keeps so many vets stuck in a job they can't stand... and Dr. Kristen Miller says it's your own mind talking. 😐

What’s the latest? How are you doing?



Just so you know... It’s 100000% normal to feel stress, fear, and a sense of working REALLY hard when starting a house call vet practice & making a big transition in your life or business (of any kind).



I’ve been there, too, and worked through these feelings time & time again at different stages of business & life... And I’m still standing 💪 I’m here to tell you that these feelings are NORMAL & that it doesn’t have to feel this way all the time 💜 You CAN move through this period of discomfort.



What you feel in the process of founding or revamping a business is very different from how it feels after the business has been established.



And I’m SO PROUD of you for doing it, being in it, & reaching out for support from a fellow house call veterinary colleague who’s been EXACTLY where you are 😉
