The Burnout Reset for Vet Techs, designed by Alaina Panesar, is specifically for RVTs who are experiencing burnout, emotional exhaustion, and overwhelm—but who still care deeply about their work and want sustainable tools to remain in the profession.
This is not a vent-only group or a quick-fix program. It’s a structured, supportive coaching experience that focuses on nervous system regulation, boundaries, sustainable habits, and long-term career longevity in veterinary medicine.
Program details:
Dates: March 24 – June 30
Schedule: Biweekly sessions, 7:00–8:30 PM
Format: Live group coaching
Investment: $500 (paid individually by participants – or they can request their clinic to pay as these hours can count for unstructured CPD)
lntention is to support RVTs in protecting their wellbeing while continuing to show up as skilled, engaged professionals—something that ultimately benefits both individuals and clinics.
Alaina Panesar graduated from UNBC with her BSc Biology then went on to graduate from the NAIT Animal Health Technology program with Honors in 2012 and has practiced companion animal medicine in the city of Edmonton for the past 13+ years. She is currently working as a Locum at various practices and holds a casual position at Edmonton Humane Society. She has worked in many types of clinic settings; Spay & neuter, emergency, high volume & extended hours clinics, management, fear free & surgical speciality. She is passionate about hospice & palliative care for our senior patients as well as anesthesia & analgesia. She also provides mentorship as well as VTNE tutoring for VT students. Over the past 3 years she has built her own business providing Career & Financial coaching for experienced RVTs. All of her coaching clients came to her in active burnout, looking to either leave vet medicine – or on stress leave from their clinical work. Each student that she has worked with has found the personal rejuvenation & desire to return to the field successfully. She is committed to exploring ways to further the RVT career pathway and ensuring that our professional association is at the forefront nationally when it comes to veterinary professional development.
