About Self-Perceptions
Self-Perceptions, LLC is a health coaching practice in Durham led by Ramona Jones, who works with clients on whole-person wellness rather than narrow, one-size-fits-all fixes. Jones's approach draws on integrative nutrition, combining traditional dietary guidance with a more individualized look at how food choices affect each client's unique body, health history, and lifestyle. Sessions are structured as an ongoing conversation: clients and Jones examine daily habits, environment, stress, and eating patterns together, then make gradual, sustainable adjustments rather than drastic short-term changes. Client accounts describe a coaching relationship built around accountability and encouragement. One client who worked with Jones for six months described her as educated in the health field, encouraging, and generous with recipes and resources, crediting the program with a shift in focus from simple weight loss toward better food choices, more home cooking, and movement toward plant-based eating; that client reported losing 13 pounds and a dress size over the engagement. Another client described losing nearly 40 pounds through Jones's holistic approach, which included decluttering her home environment, carving out more personal time for relaxation and meditation, increasing exercise, and paying closer attention to food choices, with mindfulness singled out as the most valuable tool. Self-Perceptions offers a free initial consultation for prospective clients and a complimentary cleanse cheat sheet for those exploring the practice before committing. As a certified health coach rather than a licensed medical provider, Jones is clear that her work supports but does not replace medical care, and clients are advised to consult their physicians regarding dietary changes or medications. The practice is based at 3925 N. Duke St., Suite 101, in Durham.
Self-Perceptions, LLC grew out of its founder's own turning point. Ramona Jones had to completely change the way she was eating — a lifetime change rather than a diet — and while working through it realised that healthy living was not simply diet and exercise. She went looking for what it actually meant to be healthy, to look and feel her best, and the answers she found changed how she viewed food, life and herself. The company exists to pass that on: integrative nutrition health coaching for women, delivered one-on-one or in groups, aimed at realistic lasting change rather than quick results. The name is the whole idea — self-perception, in the practice's own framing, is about getting to know who you are and appreciating your own journey. Its stated promise to clients who believe they will never lose weight or measure up is that weight loss is possible, and so is becoming a healthier version of yourself.
