Coach Tonya's passion to empower others is echoed in the roles she has taken on in the virtual community. She is involved in several online groups, where she is a part of a global effort to empower women through education and support. Her weekly internet radio show Journey to Self provides listeners practical information on how to live as their authentic self as they journey towards their goals.

Education is a very important part of Tonya's life. She currently has her Associates degree from the University of Wisconsin, a certification in life/breakthrough coaching through the Center for Healing and Training, Inc., and was recently certified through the Family Manager University as a family manager coach. In addition to being an ongoing student of the Law of Attraction, Tonya is a full time student at the University of Wisconsin, where she graduated with her Bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor in Women's Studies in May 2009. In September 2009 she will enter the Masters in Counseling program at the University of Wisconsin - Whitewater.

In 2007, Tonya was the second Women's Studies student to be awarded an undergraduate research grant in University of Wisconsin-Whitewater history. She conducted an eight month research project of home-based women business owners, an underrepresented group in all research done to date on women in work. Her findings were presented at the 2008 Undergraduate Research Day on the UW-Whitewater campus, as well as at the April 2008 National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) at Salisbury University in Salisbury, Maryland. In addition to being a highlight in her academic career, she has used the research to understand the demands and challenges of home-based women entrepreneurs; leading to the development of effective coaching solutions for the home-based professional.

Tonya Ramsey lives in Southern Wisconsin with her amazing partner Ben and their extraordinary 4-year-old son Logan. She enjoys making time to be with her family and credits her ability to be able to pursue her education and maintain her career to the teamwork and support that is cornerstone of their family.
