RACE-Approved CE Workshops for Veterinary Teams
Workshops are RACE-approved for continuing education and available for veterinary conferences, state associations, practice groups, and corporate teams — delivered virtually or on-site.
For Veterinary Professionals
You chose this profession because you care. That care deserves real support — not a generic wellness seminar. Veterinary medicine is one of the most emotionally demanding professions in existence. The combination of clinical pressure, client grief, moral injury, and the invisible weight of caring work creates a unique kind of exhaustion that most wellness programs were never built to address. These are.

Workshop 1 — 1 hour | 1 CEU The Neuropsychology of Resilience: Polyvagal Practices for Sustainable Veterinary Medicine
This highly engaging session introduces veterinary professionals to the science of resilience through the lens of Polyvagal Theory. Participants learn to recognize nervous system states in themselves and others — and leave with practical, state-based tools they can use right away in the clinic. No fluff. No breathing exercises that insult your intelligence. Real science, applied.

Workshop 2 — 3 hours | 2.5 CEUs The Science of Resilience: Polyvagal and Cognitive Load Practices for Veterinary Well-Being
An in-depth, interactive session that goes where the one-hour can't. Your team will learn to understand how stress and cognitive overload are actually working in their bodies and minds — and build a personalized resilience plan they can put into practice immediately.
Participants leave able to: reduce cognitive overload in high-pressure settings, apply Polyvagal-informed regulation tools in real time, and reframe the thought patterns that quietly drain focus and empathy over time.

Why Veterinary Professionals Work With Kelly
Kelly Baez, PhD, LPC, CFRC is a licensed professional counselor, certified first responder counselor, and subject matter expert in polyvagal theory, moral injury, and the science of resilience. She doesn't come to this work as an outsider — she grew up as the daughter of a veterinarian, and has spent her career in the psychology of high-stakes, high-care professions. She understands this world not just clinically, but personally.
Her approach is grounded in neuroscience, shaped by clinical depth, and built for people who are tired of being told to breathe through it. The goal isn't to make your work less hard. It's to make you more capable of doing it — sustainably, without losing yourself in the process.
