A deep, creative and transformative process, which supports you through your holistic awakening journey and individual personal health revolution
This is where I share a little bit about me…
My professional name is Shoshannah Phoenix, although I started my life with the name Rowena J Ronson, so you will see my birth name a lot on this website too. I love change, as you will find out if you work with me.
I started my journey as a ‘therapist’ more than thirty-five years ago when I attended a year-long evening class in counselling. I had felt the calling to help others early in life. I had just turned twenty two and was the youngest by far. In fact I was almost discouraged to join, as the facilitator believed that it is best to have some life experience when practising in a caring profession. And of course he was totally right!
Since then I have been on quite a journey (to say the least!) both personally and professionally and I have learned a great deal on my travels. My focus has always been on developing and healing myself, and helping others to do the same.
I never imagined when I started that I would, many years later, be completely obsessed with testing people's DNA and supporting them so deeply and profoundly, with every aspect of their mental, emotional and physical health.
In 2023, not only am I seeing patients constantly in one way or another, but I am also running my own school teaching homeopaths to integrate Functional Medicine DNA testing into their practices.
I published my first book in 2007 and I am now writing my second, at long last.

I have a very curious mind, which certainly helps working in the way I do. I am forever on a quest to learn and I have trained as a homeopath (1998-2001), functional medicine practitioner (2017), counsellor (my first training was way back in 1989!), lecturer/certificate in education (1995-97), relationship counsellor (2009), doula (2010), reiki healer (1997), anusha healer (2019-21), nutrition adviser (2012-13) and natural detox therapist (2015).
I have also studied neuro linguistic programming (1998), transactional analysis (1998-9), gestalt therapy courses (2010-16), life coaching (2008), cognitive behavioural therapy (2011), trauma focused cbt to work with PTSD (2016) and I am a graduate of Dynamis (2011-13), world leader Jeremy Sherr’s advanced homeopathy training as well. Currently I am studying herbalism. It never stops!
My training in functional medicine is obsessive and on-going. My specific interest is using individualised DNA reports to support my patients with neuro-diversity, mental health, methylation, hormones. (See Your Healing Health page.)

The last five years have taken me on a phenomenal journey into a much more conscious and expansive version of myself, and for that, I am very grateful. This was influenced by 18 months of attunement to the healing energy of Anusha. What has materialised is my facilitating deep intuitive ‘shape-shifting’ therapy, which is a lovely balancer to the heavily scientific functional medicine side of my work.
Part of my evolving journey involved a two and a half year period (2004-7) researching, writing and publishing a book, Looking Back Moving Forward, a compilation of delicious conversations I had with thirty four of the most experienced and respected homeopaths and teachers of homeopathy in this country (some of them have sadly passed since). There is more information on the page that follows this one, and is entitled ‘A Book I Wrote’. You can purchase a copy by emailing me through my contact page, and if I know you, I might well give it to you as a gift.
Since our world changed in 2020, I have been working via Skype/Zoom etc both nationally and internationally, six days a week. And since 2022, I have been seeing some people here again in St Albans. The focus for me is to support you create change in your life. It is time now for your personal evolution, your holistic alchemy.
Invite me to help Shift The Shape of your life and support you in a deep healing transformational process. It is what I love best!

‘I met Rowena Ronson in 2019 when I was in need of help! Devastated by the death of my youngest daughter. Looking back over the last year, Shape-Shifting has helped me come to terms with unresolved issues in my life. I have learnt to love and listen to myself at the age of 78. Gratitude in abundance to Rowena. I now have some joy.’ MB, female in her late 70s
‘My work with Rowena Ronson has by far surpassed my expectations. It has helped me enormously with my purpose for seeing her and has opened related doors into many aspects that have enabled me to grow into the space I wanted to.’ DM, male aged late 40s
