In her own life, health was the initial focusing challenge to be overcome. Due to radiation exposure in infancy, Ramona was plagued from childhood with overwhelming allergies, asthma, migraines, IBS, colitis, spinal injuries, joint ailments, skin conditions, and sleep disorders. Despite the drugs, surgeries, and continuous struggle with her health and the loss of many of her family members to cancer, she nevertheless managed to graduate from college with honors. When she married a few years later, it was discovered she also had endometriosis, a devastating reproductive condition. The drugs and surgeries were only exacerbating her failing health, and in her early forties it was determined she either had bladder cancer or Interstitial Cystitis. This preliminary diagnosis provided the turning point in her life. She determined to find a way to heal herself once and for all.

Ramona began training in many alternative health modalities. She is a certified Herbalist, Reflexologist, and Reiki Master Teacher. She also studied holistic nutrition, aromatherapy, EFT, Shiatsu, Chi Gong, Tai Chi, Yoga, Polarity, and Quantum Touch. All of these efforts stopped the downhill slide and began turning her health profile around, but it was not until she became a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist that she truly moved beyond survival and began to thrive for the first time in her life. By working through the alpha brain wave state, which activates the ‘relaxation response’ in the body, she was able to enlist her own body’s inner resources for healing. More than eleven years later, she remains well and takes no medication whatsoever. As a stress management specialist, she has helped countless clients make similar changes in their own lives.

Once she discovered the power of using the innate resources in the subconscious mind to effect dramatic change, she was inspired to continue learning more about the way the mind works and the role of perception in the experience of life. She learned many more techniques to facilitate transformation in life, health, and career. Now, as a certified Results Coach, NLP Master Practitioner, and Performance Consultant, Ramona has an impressive array of tools and techniques to address the challenges that create blocks to personal and career growth as well as health and well-being.

It is her passion to help others blast through limiting decisions, emotional impediments, unproductive behavior patterns and other obstacles which prevent her clients, students, and audience members from attaining their true potential. Specific processes for strategic visioning and goal attainment provide a framework for effecting phenomenal change and forward movement, creating positive momentum which then ripples throughout every aspect of life.

In private practice for the past seven years, she has authored several manuals and CDs used in her work with clients and students, and is currently co-authoring a book and CD set to be released to the public early next year. She teaches numerous classes, gives workshops and seminars, and makes dynamic presentations to various groups and organizations on a regular basis.
