Client testimonials
“Our team had the pleasure of welcoming Bonita as our keynote speaker for a retreat that we had organized for our Pediatric Clinic staff and physicians. Our retreat focused around creating a Mission & Vision for our team, as well as building a team charter. Given the extraordinary pressures everyone in healthcare has been under for the last few years, we felt it very important to center our discussions around wellness and setting healthy boundaries. Bonita took the time to research and understand our specific organization’s culture, mission and values and wove this throughout her talk. Feedback from participants was extremely positive; in fact, reference was made throughout the day back to concepts and strategies that Bonita had shared. I would highly recommend Bonita and BreakThrough to any healthcare organization.”
Amanda Hignell, Department of Pediatrics, St. Michael’s Hospital
“Our organization connected with Bonita to provide a customized workshop about vicarious trauma, moral injury, compassion fatigue and burnout. It was so helpful to understand the difference between each of these factors, how they contribute to our mental health, and how we can work to prevent them. Bonita did an outstanding job of understanding our organization and our culture, and helped us to make meaningful progress in supporting our leaders. I would not hesitate to recommend Bonita's services for any organization hoping to support their team in preventing burnout! It is simply a fantastic investment:). Thank you Bonita!”
Adrienne Hodges, Human Resources, Baptist Housing

Bonita went above and beyond to pull a curriculum together that will support us in creating a psychologically safe environment and to foster a culture of compassionate leadership.
