Lost with ultrasound? Let’s make 2025 the year you feel confident and in control.

Hi, I’m Camilla, founder of FOVU! 🐾

Since 2020, I’ve had the privilege of supporting over 1,000 veterinary professionals through our courses and FOVU Club membership.

Seeing so many vets and vet nurses go from feeling stuck to confidently picking up the probe, actually enjoying scanning, and no longer being scared of the ultrasound machine is what drives everything we do. 🎉

Whether it’s understanding how to identify normal structures, improving image quality, or just knowing where to start, I’ve seen firsthand how structure, practice, and feedback can transform your confidence—and your patient care.

✨ At FOVU, our mission is simple: to make ultrasound feel achievable and rewarding with simple, bite-size, practical lessons you can use in real life.

If you’re part of the FOVU Club or have taken one of our courses, I’d love to hear from you—what’s helped you the most?

Struggling with blurry images or a fuzzy screen? You’re not alone!

Mid-scan doubts are the worst—second-guessing yourself, freezing up, and thinking, “Wait... is that normal?” 🥶

It happens to the best of us. But here’s the thing: confidently knowing what normal looks like isn’t as far off as it feels.

With a bit of guidance and support, you can start feeling clear, confident, and in control every time you pick up the probe.

At FOVU, we’re always sharing free training opportunities throughout the year.

Be sure to join our email list (get the link in my BIO 😉) so you’re the first to know about upcoming events.

Confidence with ultrasound—closer than you think 😊

When Aoife reached out, they were feeling stuck and unsure about their ultrasound diagnostics.

Sound familiar? With a bit of guidance and support, everything changed. Now, Aoife feels confident tackling even the trickiest scans—and that transformation is closer than you think!

I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed. Back when I started, the ultrasound machine wasn’t just tricky—it felt like the alien in the room, something I’d never figure out 🤯

But with the right structure, practice, and support, things started to fall into place—and they can for you too.

If you’ve ever wanted to feel more confident every time you pick up the probe, now’s the perfect time to start.

✨ Something exciting is coming soon to help with just that, so stay tuned! ✨

What’s one thing about using your ultrasound machine that makes you second-guess yourself?

Picture this: you're mid ultrasound and things aren't quite going how you imagined.

We've all been there. That feeling of uneasiness or nervousness. Your heart beating a little faster... all because the organ you're looking for isn't where you expected it to be!

It's okay, just breathe. You've got this 👏

I can help you by looking back on my experiences with ultrasound panic and how I overcame the problem.

From emergency vet to ultrasound enthusiast, my journey has been anything but ordinary! 🐾

After graduating in 2006 and spending years in the fast-paced world of emergency and critical care, I took the leap into ultrasound, earning my CertAVP in 2018.

The transition wasn’t easy, but the experience I gained in those late-night shifts, practicing on my Labrador Frida (R.I.P. 💔), set the foundation for what I do today.

Since then, I’ve been on a mission to support first opinion vets, helping them feel confident with ultrasound and enhancing patient care with every scan. 🩺

What was your path into the field? I’d love to hear your stories in the comments below!

Have you ever used the woodpecker technique for taking samples?

🐾 Let’s talk about those tricky scans for a second.

You’re mid-scan, trying to locate the pancreas, but it’s just not happening. You’re second-guessing yourself, and you wish you could hit pause and ask someone for advice.

That’s exactly why I created FOVU Club 😍

I’m Camilla, a vet surgeon for almost 20 years and an experienced ultrasonographer. After teaching hundreds of vets and vet nurses, I kept hearing the same thing: “I wish I had ongoing support after the course”.

So, I built FOVU Club to provide exactly that.

Here’s what you’ll get as a member:

✨ Real-time help with the FOVU AI Tool: Need guidance mid-scan? The AI pulls trusted answers from our exclusive content library, from case studies to live Q&A recordings. It grows smarter as more content is added.

✨ Monthly lessons and live Q&As with me: I’ll help you refine your skills step by step.

✨ Insights from guest speakers: Learn from other experienced professionals in the field.

✨ A supportive community: You’ll never feel like you’re figuring it out alone.

🚨 Membership opens only once a year, and doors are opening this January.

Do you start an ultrasound scan with all good intentions, to then be stopped in your tracks by getting completely lost with the anatomy?

Don't worry - I've got you 👏

So many vets feel the same, and the problem is that veterinary ultrasound just isn't used or practised enough.

By joining my FOVU club, you can have advice, help and even an AI-powered assistant, right at your fingertips! 😄

Wave goodbye to stressful ultrasounds and say hello to diagnostic bliss.

How are you at identifying structures on ultrasound? 🤔

Take a look at the first slide and let me know in the comments what you think we might be looking at - plus, are there any abnormalities?

(psst. the answer is in slide two, but test your knowledge!) 📚

Of course, it's part of the intestines but the muscularis layer is a little thicker than it should be.

Did you guess correctly? 🤔

Ultrasound scans can vary massively in the time that they take, and the different restraint positions can sometimes seem a little uncomfortable for our furry friends 🐶

If you're not using a sedation, how do you keep your patients calm and still throughout their procedure?

Sometimes, ultrasound can leave you feeling a little... stumped? 🤔

Do you ever feel like you can't find an organ, don't understand the image, or sometimes your picture appears squiggly?

This is known as electrical interference, and can completely distort your ultrasound image!

I know that ultrasound can sometimes be a little intimidating, because I used to feel exactly like you.

Thanks to the birth of FOVU, I am able to give veterinary professionals the skills and knowledge to grow their confidence and improve their diagnosis with online and in-practice veterinary ultrasound training 😄

Ultrasonography, more than any other diagnostic imaging technology, is particularly prone to mistakes because the problem with veterinary ultrasound is that it’s not used enough - but I can help change that!

Meet Eugene: Building his confidence, one scan at a time 😄

Like many vets out there, Eugene knew he wanted to incorporate more scanning into his practice, but felt he lacked confidence. Take a look at what he had to say about his experience of learning with us.

I love hearing your reviews on what I have to offer here at FOVU. After all, this is my passion, and I'm so pleased that my love for ultrasound shines through 😄

My website is simply brimming with courses, blog posts and machine reviews for you to get your teeth into, just watch out for any fur or ultrasound gel that can make its way in there too... 🤣
