“I’ve had the privilege of witnessing Bonita lead Wellness seminars with groups of leaders. She provides wise and insightful counsel inviting leaders to healthy living. Through her own experience of burnout, she is able to engage experientially and genuinely. Not only does she have a wide array of tools and skills, her greatest offering may be her encouraging nature and her focus on keeping things practical. I would highly recommend her.
