Interim Director

“I connected with Natalia through Judge Business School, Cambridge University and was immediately impressed with her approach to improving cognitive performance. 

At that time I was in the midst of a demanding Interim Director role and although cognitively and physically I was healthy and strong, I knew that any improvement in my cognitive function would have an impact on both my personal life and my professional results. 

I was also fascinated by the programme itself. I have been avidly reading books about neuroplasticity and neuroscience for over a decade and found it frustrating that all the experts were US based and didn’t provide an accessible service to implement some of the things we knew made a difference. When Natalia provided the opportunity be part of the programme, I jumped at the chance. 

I had high expectations of the programme and these were all exceeded! The preliminary tests were rigorous, the experts were exceptional, the programme was truly tailored to my life and for me the results were astounding. I can feel and see a huge difference in my life and the test results provide quantitative proof of the changes that have occurred. 

Everyone's results will be different and personal. However for me, the subjective results included: 

  • Clearer and calmer problem solving and thinking 

  • Accelerated ability to learn, absorb and use information 

  • Improved sleep and physical health 

  • Higher levels of energy 

  • An increase in creative thinking and creativity

The qualitative results I saw were backed up by quantitative improvements. My favourite quote from the final report was “Your final results show a remarkable improvement in your cognitive scores” It is that simple as that. 

If you are considering the programme, I’d highly recommend exploring what it can do for you.”

I am delighted to offer a reference in relation to my participation in the SOFOS programme in 2018.  I was much impressed by the scientific approach that you and your associates took to tailoring the programme for my specific needs and I feel that I benefited both in terms of my physical health (through your excellent nutritional analysis and advice), in my energy levels and in my mental acuity.  

The sessions helped me to improve both my decision making skills and my ability to sustain elevated levels of concentration.  At a time when I was considering the launch of a new business of my own the programme was hugely instrumental in giving me the confidence to proceed.  I would commend the programme to anyone who would like to understand a little more about what they are capable of.

I had the exceptional opportunity to try SOFOS Associates’ approach to personal development during a year’s trial. Having experienced a period of professional stagnation and personal loss that led to stress, reduced attention and insomnia, I looked for help outside the classic therapy and counselling offers. Curious by Natalia’s idea to combine advanced neuro research and brain stimulation with lifestyle changes, dietary supplements and counselling, I started her programme with great aspirations a year ago. Having run a thorough medical and cognitive diagnosis, Natalia tailored the programme to my specific needs. This included neuro-feedback and stimulation, executive counselling sessions, a controlled diet accompanied by vitamin supplements, medical tests and acupuncture sessions. Natalia organised regular feedback sessions in order to adapt and customise the programme along the way. 
 
The programme has just come to an end and I am amazed by the positive changes that have come through with it over the last year: the neurotherapy has increased my focus and concentration abilities, I have overcome my sleep deficiencies, increased my resistance levels against stress and anxiety and changed job for a better position within the finance industry. These personal achievements are corroborated by Natalia’s programme ending tests which objectively measured and showed the cognitive improvements of my brain. I could not have hoped for more.
 
Natalia’s profound knowledge in the fields of psychology, neuroscience and dietary supplements for health and cognitive improvement, together with her deep analytical skills, have created a unique proposition for new forms of executive self-development. Discussing methods and results with Natalia has opened my eyes and mind to truly understand how one’s brain capacity can be furthered. The whole programme uses cutting edge research and has a science-fiction feel to it that translates into results. I cannot thank Natalia enough for her creation and her support that set me on a new path with heightened possibilities.

Natalia Ramsden was invited to speak with our Global Executive Team on the topic of how to optimise brain performance and share her vast and deep knowledge in this field. Natalia's relaxed style coupled with her expertise made for a highly informative session which set the tone for the remaining few days together at our conference event. Most impressively, Natalia handled the vast range of challenging questions from the team with ease and offered both her life experience and professional experience without hesitation, building a very credible relationship with the group. Worth every second of the 90 minutes investment and I suspect we could have continued talking with her for another 90 minutes easily!

Head of Corporate Communications; Kleinwort Hambros

Natalia is not only a true expert in her field, she also has the ability to demystify it and make it very accessible to everyone. She is an engaging speaker who brings to life vast amounts of research with real life clinical examples. She connects with audiences and quickly adapts her style to the personalities in the room. A complex concept such as neuro cognitive ability suddenly becomes not only fascinating but also relevant when explained and articulated with so much simplicity.
