Today we’d like to introduce you to Ramona Robinson.
Hi Ramona, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
At 35, I was a single mom diagnosed with cancer.
Six months earlier, I had just graduated as a hypnotist. At the time, I didn’t realize how much I would come to rely on what I had learned.
During treatment, I used hypnosis on myself to stay calm, grounded, and mentally strong. It became something I could return to when everything else felt uncertain.
In the middle of that experience, I made a decision that changed everything for both me and my kids. I didn’t want them to remember that time as only fear. So I started showing up to chemo in silly costumes. It gave us moments of joy and laughter in the middle of something that otherwise felt overwhelming.
That creativity changed how we moved through that time. It reminded me that even in the hardest moments, I still had a say in how I experienced them.
That mindset stayed with me, and it even opened the door to something I never could have planned. I ended up modeling for a lingerie line created for women going through breast cancer, and one of the pieces was named after me.
It reinforced something I now carry into my work. Even in the middle of something life-altering, you don’t have to lose yourself. You can still create meaning inside it. And when you do, you never really know where it might take you.
But the deeper shift wasn’t external. It was internal.
Before my diagnosis, I was surviving. Working constantly, exhausted, and disconnected from myself. I was taking care of everything and everyone, but not really living. Cancer forced me to face that directly. I realized I wasn’t fighting for my life just to return to the same patterns.
I knew things had to be different.
I started to see what creates real change. Not just talking about something or understanding it, but shifting it at the root so it actually feels different.
That’s what led me to create Rora Hypnosis.
My work isn’t based on theory alone. It comes from lived experience. I know what it feels like to want answers, to want relief, to want someone who actually understands what you’re carrying.
Through hypnotherapy, I help people get to the root of their patterns and change them, especially the ones that haven’t shifted through traditional approaches.
The goal isn’t just insight. It’s change.
My path taught me how to find strength in moments where there isn’t an obvious way forward. That’s what I help others access in themselves.
And if someone feels lost in what they’re going through, I want them to know there is a way through it, and they don’t have to figure it out alone.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The biggest challenge has been helping people understand what hypnosis actually is. Most people have only seen it portrayed in stage shows or media, so they come in with misconceptions or hesitation. That’s the hardest part when you truly want to help people, because this work is incredibly effective and works quickly, even where other approaches have fallen short.
Many people come to me as a last resort, only to find it’s the first thing that truly helps. I often wish more people knew what’s actually possible with this work.
Another challenge is that not all hypnosis is the same, and most people don’t realize that. I use a more modern technique that goes deeper and works faster than more traditional approaches, and part of my mission has been helping people understand that difference.
So much of this work is about showing people that this isn’t about losing control or being “put under,” it’s about working with the mind in a focused, intentional way that creates real change and helps people reconnect with their own power, often in a way they haven’t experienced before.
It’s based on how the brain naturally works and supported by peer reviewed studies. There’s real science behind it, yet it’s still widely underused, despite how effective it is.
While this has been a challenge, it’s also been part of the purpose. The more clearly people understand what’s possible, the more access they have to something that can genuinely help them move forward.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I help people change the patterns they feel stuck in. The ones that keep showing up in their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, even when they’re trying to do things differently.
Many of my clients come to me after trying other approaches and not getting the results they were looking for.
What sets my work apart is how quickly people experience real change. I use a unique form of hypnosis that draws from different therapeutic approaches. It allows us to get to the root of an issue quickly and create real change, instead of spending months or even years managing something that never fully changes.
I specialize in helping people move through things that feel stuck, whether that’s stress, fears, emotional patterns, or behaviors they haven’t been able to shift on their own. The work is designed to create change that people can actually feel in their day to day lives.
I also believe in creating a space where people feel safe enough to be honest about what they’re experiencing. Real change requires more than just techniques. It requires being able to access what’s actually going on beneath the surface.
That’s what matters most to me. Seeing people experience shifts they didn’t think were possible, especially after feeling stuck for a long time.
I want people to know that this work is real, it’s effective, and it doesn’t have to take years to see change. When you work with the mind in the right way, things can move much faster than most people expect.
Do you have any memories from childhood that you can share with us?
One of my favorite childhood memories is actually how I ended up moving to the United States.
I grew up in a small town in Germany where generations of families stayed in the same place. It wasn’t common for people to leave, and the world outside of that felt very far away.
One day, when I was around eight or nine, a friend and I were playing with Barbies. We decided they were going to Hawaii. To me, Hawaii was almost imaginary at that point, something beautiful, tropical, and far away, completely out of reach. But it was fun to pretend. So we spent a lot of time carefully setting up the scene. We spent so much time on it that we never actually got to “go,” because her dad came in and told us it was time to clean up.
I remember saying, disappointed, “But we haven’t gone to Hawaii yet!” and he responded with a laugh, “You’re never going to go to Hawaii.”
For some reason, that hit me deeply. It didn’t feel true to me, and I got really upset. How could he say that and decide something like that for me? Just because other people didn’t go there didn’t mean I couldn’t. The adults around me thought it was funny, but I couldn’t let it go.
Not long after that, my mom told me that her boyfriend at the time, who was American, was being relocated, and that we would be moving with him.
To Hawaii.
I remember immediately saying that we needed to call my friend’s dad and tell him I was going to Hawaii.
Looking back, I love that moment. Not just because of what happened, but because of how strongly I felt it, even when it seemed impossible. It’s something I still come back to. Whenever I feel frustrated or discouraged, I remember that moment, and it reminds me how quickly things can shift in ways you don’t expect.
