inner circle
for veterinary practice owners and managers
A high-level mentorship community for veterinary practice owners and managers ready to build freedom, flexibility, and financial reward without burning out.
no more doing it alone.
Build the practice that gives you your life back and reclaims your purpose, profit, and peace of mind.
You don’t need more generic business advice. You need a space and community that understands the unique pressures of veterinary practice, strategies that actually work in our industry, and support that feels like support.
For the practice owner or manager who has outgrown basic tips, is tired of making isolated leadership decisions, and is ready to build with strategies that fit the reality of veterinary medicine…
YOU BELONG HERE.
not “just another membership”
This is a practice leadership advisory table for professionals who already know how to care for animals but need strategy, simplicity, and support to build a practice that doesn’t consume their lives.
Built for the veterinary professional who’s evolving:
Building that first practice
Growing the team
Expanding locations
Reclaiming weekends
Building something sustainable
This is the ecosystem that holds your ambition and supports your growth without adding more stress, overwhelm, or impossible standards.
It’s not about longer hours, squeezing more appointments, keeping up with corporate pressures, or someone else’s metrics of “success.”
Your story isn’t just production numbers or caseloads.
what it’s really about..
Embracing Your Full Leadership
Balancing clinical excellence with business acumen and authority with compassion.
Creating Sustainable Success
Building a practice and life that align with why you chose this profession.
Never Feeling Alone Again
Finding a community that understands the weight you carry and the decisions you face daily.
For years, your value was tied to how many patients you could see, fires you could put out, and crises you could manage. You were praised for being available, not for having vision. For being the solution, not the strategist. For working harder, not smarter.
You’ve saved lives, built client relationships, managed teams, and grown revenue.
But you’re tired of being the only decision-maker, carrying the practice on your shoulders, and solving everyone’s problems while figuring out your own in isolation.
You want clarity, systems that actually work, sustainable growth, solutions to your pain points, and mentorship from someone who gets it.
This is the room for that.
You built the practice. Now you’re building again (differently).
BEYOND THE DAY-TO-DAY SURVIVAL
Once you move past “putting out fires,” the conversation gets bigger…
into strategic leadership and intentional growth.
It’s the ability to hold your vision and keep building when things get hard.
To show up (again) to lead your team, serve clients, and grow your practice because you believe in what you’re building more than you believe in limitations.
It’s fully committing to the practice you envisioned before you became the person who just fixes problems. It’s showing up as the leader your practice needs. No apologies.
It’s letting yourself dream bigger about what’s possible in veterinary practice, taking strategic risks, and redesigning systems as you evolve. It’s leading as the CEO of your own practice.
A year-long journey to build the practice of your dreams while reclaiming your life.
Not another course. Not a generic business group.
This is mentorship that understands veterinary practice.

the why
It started with wanting to build a successful practice, then grew beyond production goals or “look what I built” achievements.
It’s now about:
Conversations on leadership and professional fulfillment
Visions that don’t fit the traditional mold
Fundamental shifts in who we are as leaders and what our practices can become
How we intentionally build our professional lives
In The Inner Circle, we listen to the inner leader and build a practice around that vision.
I’m Dr. Christine Staten - Veterinarian, Practice Owner & Business Mentor.
ARE YOU NEW AROUND HERE?
I’m a 20+ year veterinary professional, practice owner, MBA graduate, and the person you call when you’re ready to stop running your practice like it’s running you and start leading it like the CEO you are.
If your practice feels more like a burden than a calling, you’re not doing it wrong, you’ve outgrown the version of ownership you were taught.
I built The Inner Circle because you’re not here to just see more patients. You’re here to build something that feels like freedom that honors your expertise, your vision, and your life without burning you out.
What makes this different: I’m not teaching from the sidelines. I’m actively working in my practice, managing teams, making payroll decisions, and implementing these strategies alongside you. Every system I teach, I use. Every challenge we discuss, I’ve faced.
This isn’t about following someone else’s generic playbook.
It’s about building your practice your way.
Let’s make your next chapter the most successful and sustainable yet.
