My story

Greetings everyone. I’m coach Earth and I’d like to tell you a little about myself  and what lead me to a life of service, helping others to improve their health. 

When I was thirteen, I remember gaining a large amount of weight but didn’t understand why.  During that time, I longed to be thin again which caused me to often compare myself to other girls my age. This created very low self-esteem that led to me becoming an extreme introvert.  

The emotional branches of low self-esteem such as seeking approval and acceptance through toxic romantic relationships and friendships, as well as self-medicating with food or restricting it in unhealthy ways, followed me into my thirties. 

As a result of my unhealthy lifestyle habits both physically and emotionally, I began to experience some reproductive health issues that had started in my mid-twenties. This got  progressively worse and by my thirties, I was desperate for a solution.

I was tired of being in & out of hospitals and was willing to do just about anything to stop my pain and suffering.  In 2004, I was fortunate enough to meet a naturopathic doctor through a friend. From this, I was able to get answers to questions that had gone unanswered for years regarding my health. I found solace in now understanding how I could heal my body.

I was able to get my health condition under control for the first time and was eager to learn more. I also wanted to help empower others to make positive changes to their health. 

In 2008, I was given the opportunity to study under the same doctor that helped me previously. I became certified as a holistic health consultant through The Holistic Therapies and Education Center in association with The International Board of African Traditional Healers and The Ghana Association of Traditional Healers in 2008 under Dr. Lliala Afrika.

I then began conducting food demonstrations and workshops for students and parents alike.  I also started assisting medical professionals associated with Pure Health Family Practices, in educating clients on how they could eat with intention using food as medicine. 

I've since spent years learning about the various healing modalities centered around healing the “whole being". In addition to becoming  certified as a holistic consultant, I later became a certified herbalist through The International Alliance of Holistic Therapists and a personal trainer, nutrition coach, and exercise therapy specialist through the International Sports and Science Association, as well as a certified stretch practitioner. 

Through years of experience, I've taught family & friends ways to help aid the body temple in improved health through food. I've also taught health classes and workshops at schools and private events. I've personally trained gym clients or"Gifts" and have been fortunate enough to see others benefit from what I've learned.

This is the foundation for what has now evolved into "Earth’s Precious Gifts". You are Earth’s Gifts, and my desire is to empower you with these same tools so that you may enjoy a long, happy, healthy life!
