Reviews:

Here is what they are saying about Rona's courses:

“Over the 30+ years I have known Rona, I have witnessed her acquire and refine many healing modalities designed to promote healing and well-being, including reducing ever-increasing levels of stress we feel in our workplaces and personal lives. She has become quite skilled at assisting her clients in acquiring these modalities for themselves. I highly recommend her program to you.” ~Lucy B.





“I have worked with Rona for over 2 years and have been able to participate in many of her trainings and witness first hand her work in the classroom. It’s not easy to get an entire 4th-grade class to participate in yoga and meditation but Rona makes it relevant and fun for the students and simple to recreate as the teacher. She creates a non-judgmental atmosphere for them to explore, ask questions and just take a mindful break from the daily routine. I’ve also participated in parent trainings with Rona where she brings that same attitude and professionalism. Parents often comment how thankful they are for her perspective and time. I would highly recommend any of Rona’s classes/trainings as you will leave with a mountain of ideas and the confidence to be successful!" ~Nikki Bernardi
