The interview
What health challenges were you facing before working with Sankofa Healing?
Twenty years ago, I was suffering with headaches, depression, and chronic pain. My life included taking lots of prescription medication, going to multiple doctors for pain in different ailments, and at one time I was taking 14 prescription pills per day. I had almost given up my career in nursing due to the stress and the pain.
What made you decide to work with Dr. Michelle?
What made me say yes to Dr. Michelle was her knowledge of medical things. Because I'm in the medical field, I was kind of in awe of what she knew and what she understood.
What might have prevented you from getting started with the program?
If there was something that might have prevented me, it would have been lack of commitment. I would say mainly would be the time because I work full time.
What other treatments had you tried in the past?
Things I have tried in the past that did not work was prescription medications, just eating a certain food and avoiding other foods, and some other things that I tried was therapy that didn't work.
What surprised you most about working with Dr. Michelle?
When I would start talking about certain ailments in my body, she would just come in with all this scientific knowledge and she would help me see my ailment in a way that was never treated when I went to the traditional doctor.
What are you able to do now that you couldn't do before?
What I'm doing now is managing my stress, keeping my blood sugar under control, and managing my blood pressure. I am still able to work full time and enjoy traveling and doing things with friends and my grandchildren, which I found very difficult to do before because I didn't have the energy.
Who is this program for and who is it not for?
Dr. Michelle's program is not for someone who doesn't want to make a commitment to have better health and a better life. It is for someone who wants to see results in two to three weeks and who is expecting a miracle without putting in the work in order to have those changes for a healthy life.
Frequently asked
Will I have enough time for the Sankofa Healing program if I work full time?
Tonja Coachman initially worried that her full-time work schedule and a lack of commitment might prevent her from starting. However, she found she was able to manage her time wisely and continue working full time while successfully completing Dr. Michelle's program.
