About Me

Hi, I'm Lauren!

​

With over a decade of experience supporting more than 150 veterinary clinics across Australia and New Zealand, I’ve seen first-hand what makes a practice thrive — and what quietly holds one back.

​

From my early days as a veterinary nurse to years spent in C-suite and operational leadership roles, I’ve seen the realities of clinic life from every angle. Growing up in country Victoria, I also have a deep appreciation for the unique pressures faced by regional, Independantly owned and community-based practices — with owners working in the Clinic juggling staff wellbeing, compliance, financial performance, and client care, often all at the same time.

​

Having worked across both privately owned clinics and large corporate networks, I blend strategic insight with practical, boots-on-the-ground experience to deliver outcomes that are measurable, sustainable, and grounded in how clinics actually operate day to day.

​

My mantra has always been simple: People • Performance • Profit — because when you put your people first, performance and profitability follow naturally. That philosophy shaped the foundation of Unlock Veterinary Consulting. I created Unlock after seeing clinic owners stretched thin, trying to shoulder high-level leadership and administrative burdens on top of clinical responsibilities. My mission is to bridge that gap — providing hands-on, people-focused, real-world support that lightens the load and strengthens the business behind the medicine and help Independent Businesses stay Independantly owned.

​

At Unlock, I help veterinary businesses refine their operations, strengthen leadership, and unlock their potential through practical, data-driven strategies that actually work. Whether it’s improving financial health, building a psychologically safe workplace to ensure staff retention, or streamlining technology and workflow, my goal is to make your business stronger, lighter, and more sustainable.

 

My goal is simple — to help practices of any size achieve big-business results while maintaining the authenticity and heart that make them truly unique.

​

Whether you’re launching, scaling, or refining your operations, I can help you create a thriving, sustainable, and people-first practice that you and your team can be proud of.
