Rona Ashley-Rogers' astrological practice began in 1981 through evening classes learning to draw up birth charts. In 1994 she obtained a Diploma from the Mayo School of Astrology and began practicing on a professional basis. She holds Certificates in Counselling Studies, and as a member of the International Council of Holistic Therapists she also holds Diplomas in Aromatherapy and Reflexology. Her training reflects a path that moved from informal self-study into formal astrological certification, later broadening into complementary therapy qualifications that now run alongside her astrology practice.
