She also serves on multiple wellness committees and has received numerous awards for her contributions to mental health and workplace wellbeing.

Marie Holowaychuk’s passion for supporting caregivers extends beyond the veterinary profession. Through her writing, podcasting, and speaking engagements, she addresses the unique challenges faced by all those in caregiving roles — from healthcare workers to educators and beyond. Her mission is to inspire and equip individuals to prioritize their wellbeing, knowing that sustainable self-care is essential for providing compassionate, high-quality care to others.
