About Rhonda Thomas

Chicago-based Rhonda Thomas began her journey as a motivational health strategist and licensed health coach in 2012 after realizing that health affects everything and everything affects health. In response to that revelation, she created The Healthy Living Plan through her Rhon’sWay organization, which she founded in 2002, to support women who are trying to balance the second half of their lives.

She authored the book, Soul Combining for a Slimmer Healthier You. She documents her journey in her book. For over 20 years she lived and struggled with the same weight gain sabotaging issues until she recognized within herself her power.

She is also a speaker, educator, and wellness consultant who has dedicated her life to educating, enlightening, and empowering the mature woman to increase her quality of life and getting to her “happy”. Rhonda routinely travels across the United States facilitating workshops and mini conferences. She has spoken in front of numerous organizations including Making It Count, a program that encouraged high school students to prepare for college and on the value of education.

Whether it’s one-on-one coaching, small group intensives or keynote speaking, Rhonda is capable of leaving her audiences wanting more.
