Early Life and Education[edit]
Born in Forest HIlls, New York her family moved to Somerset, New Jersey when she was four years old. She attended Franklin High School and set her heart on attending the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) when she graduated, her guidance counselor informed her that no-one from Franklin High School was ever accepted into FIT. Rena entered and won two art contests. She was chosen to paint a mural on an elementary school wall in Somerset. Photos of the mural along with her essay were sent to FIT and she was accepted into the school, majoring in art then switching to advertising and communications.
At the age of 19, she received an internship in Manhattan with legendary publicist Carol Ross who was well known for representing singers such as Dianna Ross, Paul McCarthy, Hall & Oates, Kiss, and many others.

She received her certification to be a Hypnotherapist and hypnosis trainer from the National Guild of Hypnotists, as well as a Certified Neuro-Linguistic Program Coach.
Rena has her Master’s Degree in Spiritual Healing from the University of Spiritual Healing and Sufism.
Career[edit]
After graduation Rena began working as an assistant to entertainer Ben Vereen and then became an assistant in the Buying Department at Bloomingdales, travel assistant for American Express and Club Med working at resorts in Morea, Tahiti and Guadeloupe. It was about this time that Rena started to feel ill and went from doctor to doctor throughout New York trying to figure out why she was suffering from incapacitating fatigue. Doctors could find nothing wrong. After months of feeling this way she started to receive information from medical staff that her pulse rate was off. She ended up in the emergency room at Brooklyn’s Methodist Hospital in Park Slope, Brooklyn New York. She expected the doctors there to tell her they could find nothing, but instead this time, she was admitted to the Cardiac Care Unit.
Rena was twenty-six years old, but told by the Chief of Cardiology that she had the heart rate of an eighty year old. Her heart was beating at a rate of 30 beats per minute. She was in the hospital for three weeks and had a pacemaker put in. This was the life changing moment that changed her course of action in life. Intuitively Rena felt that her heart disease was most likely a symptom of a bigger problem related to her diet and lifestyle. In 1987, the medical professionals did not embrace this theory, so there was little information available. Doing her own research, she found herbs, and foods that properly nourished her body. She added a daily regular moderate exercise routine. But the biggest discovery was the mind - body connection via biofeedback and hypnosis. These therapies helped her easily adjust to the new lifestyle and diet changes. One of the hardest parts of her diet was to give up sugar. She was addicted to sugar in one form or another such as alcohol, breads and sweets. This meant serious mental strength in order to change this habit. She found that by using self-hypnosis it became easier to give up and turn away from her sugar habit.
Rena’s transformation from heart disease to becoming a healthy person has inspired her to help others. She is passionate about teaching others how to change lifestyle habits in the easiest way possible in order to achieve optimum health. Rena has created several venue’s in which to assist people with diet, exercise, smoking cessation and other behaviour that is negative to their well being.
In 1990, Rena moved to Florida and created Wellness Seminars, Inc. which influences people to consider their health. She talks about wellness, stress reduction and weight control. Rena’s Program has been reviewed and sponsored in over seventy-five hospitals including Tampa General Hospital and the Miami Heart Institute both in Florida. She has expanded her program to hospitals including St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Ann Arbor, St. John’s Health Systems in Detroit, Hoboken University Medical Center in Hoboken, New Jersey, and Doylestown Medical Center in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. She has been hired to speak to employees about weight loss and smoking cessation by over 100 corporations including Walt Disney World, AT&T, and Home Depot because of her success.
Rena programs are used to achieve goals and transform lives. She has been featured in multiple television news stories and more than 160 TV news, newspaper and magazines features, including in USA Today, Woman’s World Magazine, ABC-TV Nightline, FOX TV, CBS-TV, NBC-TV News, The Doctor’s Show, CNN, Forbes, Good Morning America and her own show titled Easy Willpower on PBS.
