Happy Paws Veterinary
Costa Rica Wellness Trip

TEAMS UP WITH PURA VIDA VETERINARY WELLNESS AND WILD SUN RESCUE CENTER!

CE FOR VETS AND VET TECHS

As we all know, the veterinary profession can be challenging and stressful, having effects not only in our practice, but in our personal lives as well. To avoid burnout, depression and even suicide we must learn to take care of ourselves, and to make it a daily practice. This is a one-of-a-kind CE Retreat located in the Blue Zone jungle of Costa Rica! During these retreats, you will learn relaxation, self-care, and resiliency skills from veterinary wellbeing leaders. We currently offer 10 RACE approved credits designed to help you be a better, happier and more effective professional. We also include an introduction to veterinarian acupuncture. Our 6-night programs include 3 healthy meals a day, accommodation in beautiful ocean view rooms w/ AC, transportation, daily yoga and meditation, Wi-fi, an infinity pool, field trips, and down time to relax and enjoy the nature, wildlife, and of course the beauty of Costa Rica!

70% of the proceeds fund medical care and local conservation projects!
