Why the certification is worth it
A single course can change a season.
The certification can change your life.
A GMU course is never just one tip — you get real depth and several tools you can use the same day, and some, like the fan-favorite Designing Your Life, are worth it on their own. The Burnout P.R.E.P. Certification is different: it's the complete system, it's the only thing we can actually measure and prove works, and you walk away with a credential you keep. We've watched people get sober, save marriages, and fall back in love with the work.
- The complete P.R.E.P. framework, start to finish
- Measured, proven results (our ProQOL data, below)
- A certification and badge you can put after your name
- Structure and accountability that create real change
- A community walking it alongside you — for life
"I can honestly say I've spent more money on less helpful CE in the past — and I get a certification out of it!"
We don't just claim it — we measure it
The proof, in their own numbers.
We assess participants before and after the certification using the ProQOL — the Professional Quality of Life scale for caregivers, which measures compassion satisfaction, burnout, and compassion fatigue. Here's the share of participants landing in the healthy range, before and after CVBP.
Compassion satisfaction (high)
Perceived support (high)
Low burnout
Low secondary traumatic stress
Low moral distress

Who we are
We're not just information.
We're walking it with you.
Get MotiVETed was started in 2018 by Renée Machel, a veterinary technician, and Dr. Quincy Hawley, a veterinarian — two people who overcame their own burnout, compassion fatigue, and more, and decided no one in this profession should face it alone.
They're still here, still using the system they created for the everyday challenges of life and work — and walking alongside you as you do the same.
Dr. Quincy Hawley & Renée Machel — founders, still walking it every day.
For hospitals & teams
Bring wellbeing to your whole practice.
Burnout and compassion fatigue aren't just the doctor's problem — they touch the entire support staff. Team Access rolls the certification out across your hospital with team pricing, starting at $1,497.
"I will 100% be sharing these courses with my staff at all five of my locations. You guys put together some real magic."
In their words
From the people living it.
"Right before I started GMU I was thinking of leaving the field. I committed to a life and career of wellbeing on that trip. I am robust and enthusiastic about my job again — it gave me the tools to change my life for the better."
"I went in severely anxious, stressed and burned out, with compassion fatigue nipping at my heels. This gave me the tools — and the realization that I wasn't alone and there was hope to rejoin the field I loved."
"Their presentations were infused with impactful stories and useful tools for coping and self-care. They can truly inspire much-needed professional cultural change."
