The Mental Health Spectrum
Source: Wellbeing Institute, University of Cambridge, 2011
Felicia Huppert’s research found that the majority of the population have moderate mental health. A small percentage of the population is flourishing. The key to this curve is when an individual is experiencing chronic stress, tragedy and/or trauma, they move to the left of the curve. For people who have moderate mental health, they can begin to languish. If they are already languishing, they can being to suffer from a mental disorder.
The Merck study found that veterinarians have a slightly lower level of wellbeing than the general population. What is more concerning is that 1 in 20 veterinarians suffer from serious psychological distress and only half those veterinarians are seeking help.
The aim of positive psychology is to give people the resources so they can flourish in their life.
Building psychological resources and implementing strategies in your life will improve your wellbeing.
The key to a good life is to flourish.

What Others Have Said about Natasha’s Seminars
Natasha is a passionate and dynamic speaker, and we, the delegates, were active participants in a relevant and engaging workshop that informed us in the moment about ourselves; we were given time to genuinely reflect on self, and then she guided us through translation of that into what we want and indeed need from our veterinary careers. The opportunity to self-reflect and truly have a look at where you’ve come from, what you’re doing and where you’re going is a gift for all veterinarians, no matter what stage you are at in your career.
Natasha’s work opens the door to wellness and mindfulness, in a tangible, transparent, and very practical way. From a personal perspective this is long overdue. I know there are many of us in the veterinary profession, who probably also need to take some time for ourselves, to regain perspective and remember who they are and why we became vets.
This is a “no brainer”! Just attend a workshop with Natasha, she is amazing to learn from, and she provides you with the opportunity to create a whole new perspective on your career and life as a veterinarian.
Having worked in the industry for a number of years, Natasha brings a wealth of experience and insight into the world of veterinary practice. Whether you are a practice owner, an enthusiastic (or on the other hand, totally overwhelmed!) new graduate, or even a jaded senior veterinarian wondering what’s next, there will be something for you at her presentations.
Take yourself – or the whole clinic if you can – and get inspired to start enjoying this amazing profession with Natasha’s help and guidance.
She is deeply passionate about personal development for every team member and the role that plays in obtaining clinical and financial success.
Her presentations are a solid reminder that our own wellbeing is paramount in helping our patients with theirs.
Positive psychology is the way forward in mentation for the veterinary profession and Natasha as a veterinarian and coach is paving the way forward.
Natasha has a real passion to drive positive psychology and foster resilience through presentations and coaching. These are endeavours we have to embrace as a profession.
