"The retreat's location was awesome, and Sheridan created a welcoming environment where we could focus on our well-being while also learning valuable tools and techniques for mindfully practicing veterinary medicine. I appreciate the connections I made with fellow attendees. I left feeling inspired, refreshed, and deeply grateful for the experience." - Kim, Costa Rica 2024
"The Veterinary Wellness Retreat with Sheddy was life changing for me! This was the perfect time in my career as a shelter veterinarian (for over the last 10+years) to participate in Dr. Sheddy's retreat. EVERYTHING was amazing and I will definitely be joining again! Thank you!" - Lori, Costa Rica 2024
"I couldn’t be more thrilled with the time I spent on the wellness retreat. Sheddy created an amazing environment to work through some difficult feelings and create community. I think the experiences that I left with are needed in this field and in life, we all deserve to take the time to focus on ourselves." - Ashley, Costa Rica 2024
"I never knew how much I needed this retreat until I got home and applied it. The knowledge from both the activities AND the lectures are absolutely worth the time away from my business and the cost of the flight and retreat. We are all a work in progress, I'll continue to seek ways to tailor my life as needed for my happiness and well being." - Amanda, Costa Rica 2024
"This retreat was such a calming, re-energizing experience. It was the perfect balance of education, community, free time, and adventure. The daily yoga and high quality diet quite literally reset my body and metabolism." - Morgan, Costa Rica 2024
"I had a wonderful rejuvenating experience. I got to swim with sea lions, see humpback whales, dolphins, manta rays, and explore a small island beach. The CE classes were nice to focus on long term mental care and good habits in this profession. As a first year vet, I want these tool to prolong my experience in this profession." - Hope, Mexico 2025
"Unlike other CE conferences, I left this retreat feeling rested and rejuvenated. Sheddy did a fantastic job of addressing some of the most common stressors and frustrations we deal with as veterinarians on a day to day basis AND providing the tools to help manage them. The smaller group size was great too because I got to closely bond with the other attendees." - Trevor, Mexico 2025
"I really enjoyed this retreat between the location, scenery, nourishing food, wonderful people, and the content. I would absolutely join for another one in the future! I absolutely love that there is more wellness being normalized in our profession and love being a part of it!" - Brittany, Mexico 2025
"This retreat was just what I needed. Beautiful location and hotel with delicious fresh food, intimate small group, relaxing pace, much needed CE, fun excursions, and yoga everyday. It really worked out perfectly and I hope in a couple years I’ll be able to go to another one of Dr Sheddys retreats in a different amazing location." - Nicole, Mexico 2025
"Going on this retreat was one of the best decisions that I have made! There were multiple fun activities, but also plenty of time to relax and have down time. The CE hours were interesting and helpful for not just work life, but outside of work as well. I will be recommending Veterinary Wellness Retreats to all of my vet med friends!" - Laura, Fiji 2025
"This was a trip of a lifetime! We enjoyed every moment of it: the morning views, the company, the food, the conference content, and the activities. This was a hard "re-set" for me as a business owner, wife, mother of four, daughter, and human being. Thank you for this opportunity that I NEVER would have experienced otherwise!" - Arden, Fiji 2025
"I had such an amazing time. Between the beautiful resort, the amazing excursions and the very meaningful CE, I came home revitalized and with a change of view. I can't wait to join in again in the future and would highly recommend for anyone who's considering taking part in a retreat to jump in with both feet!" - Megan, Fiji 2025
"Incredible location to detox and reset. Great combination of relaxation and activity without being boring or overexerted." - Stacey, Fiji 2025
"It was our first time in Costa Rica and at an eco-resort. The pool was clean, cool and relaxing. The food was delicious especially breakfast! The CE content was exactly what I have been needing to help keep my passion for this career. The bonding with colleagues makes me feel less of an outsider." - Colleen, Costa Rica 2025
"I am so appreciative to have met you and to have participated in one of your fabulous retreats. Thank you so much for sending the presentations along and for sharing your journey. Keep doing what you’re doing because you’re making an impact in the profession by giving us a safe space to remind ourselves that we're human." - Jasmine, Costa Rica 2025
"I had a great time at the retreat and loved learning ways to calm my brain and body. I really valued learning about compassion and decision fatigue, recognized when I have been suffering through this. The yoga was fantastic, and the breath work was very handy recently. I would do another one of these retreats even if the content was the same!" - Veronica, Costa Rica 2025
