SLP 128 Women's Retreats for Strong Communities

Claudia, Bonnie, and Marianne exploring the importance of women's retreats and how to create a business which promotes happiness and fulfillment for all involved.

Claudia is a clinical psychologist and Bonnie worked as a Hospice Nurse, is a Homeopath and a Nutritionist.

Both wanted to create a business that included a lot of laughter and fun. And what could be better than a women's retreat? 

But it is not all about having fun. The connections women (and men) can and will make at retreats are an important part of creating a network of support we all need to live a happy life.

In the interview, Claudia and Bonnie are sharing a lot of tips on how to create a similar event anywhere.

Bonnie Bertano, CEO, is a 10th generation California-born native. She's the mother of two amazing humans, devoting many years to full-time parenting while also working part-time so she has a deep understanding of work-life balance and self-care, having learned the hard way. Bonnie worked as a nurse then became certified in nutrition and homeopathy, selling herbs and homeopathic remedies at an integrative pharmacy. She offered educational workshops, published a beautiful cookbook, and managed a wellness center of holistic practitioners. Bonnie loves yoga, rowing crew, eco-friendly products, integrative medicine, healthy food, and great friends. 

 

Claudia Franzosi, CEO, MFT, MPEC,  was raised in Italy.  As soon as she graduated from the university, she danced with wolves for a bit, learned and forgot Thai (the language), Tai Chi (the martial art), shamanism, and rock climbing in the Alps, and then settled in San Diego, California.  She is a Psychologist in Italy and a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Master Personal and Executive Coach in California.  She has been in private practice since the year 2000.  Claudia is a serial entrepreneur, musician, and visionary, constantly cooking up some new idea or adventure.  Her last one took her around the world in 7 months.  She called that a "sabbatical."  We call it "play," something we are very fond of at Full Moon Retreats.
