Today we’d like to introduce you to Tonie Restrepo.
Tonie, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I am Tonie Restrepo, Wholistic Lifestyle Mentor, Pastor of Wholly Nation, Certified Personal Trainer and DNA Coach, and Transformational Speaker. I was born and raised, the youngest of five, to immigrant parents from Jamaica, West Indies. I am the first generation American in my Family. At twenty-three, I lost my brother to heart failure. He was only 34 years old. Four years later, on my daughter’s 4th birthday, my grandmother lost her battle with colon cancer. Then, one of my dear friends I went to School of Ministry with; he was the Class President, and I was the vice. Anointed man of God dies from a heart attack. A few years passed, and my dad was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer and died three months later. On March 9, 2021, I got a call in the mid of the night that my spiritual daughter had transitioned. She had battled Lupus since she was a teenager. It broke my heart to pieces. Then April 20, 2022, my second oldest sister passed from a stroke, and we later discovered other modalities she had outside of diabetes were aware.
All these experiences, especially the earlier ones, helped reveal and shape God’s calling in my life. I am passionate about saving people from premature death because of non-communicable diseases. We avoid sickness and disease if we become better stewards of our spirit, soul, and body and make our well-being a priority.
I have dedicated my life to this work. I am a Wholistic Healer! I particularly have a heart for leaders that lay down their lives to serve others and have neglected their own. I help Kingdom Business Leaders, Reclaim their Body, Time, and Energy, Overcome Unhealthy Eating Habits; So that they can Look Better, Feel Better, LIVE Better, Improve their Confidence and Increase their Impact and Income!
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
My greatest challenge is seeing people I love suffering and dying from a lifestyle they can improve. Our greatest obstacle is our mindset, which places more value on our work than our health. Getting people to see the value of investing time, energy, and resources to pursue their well-being has also been challenging.

What do you like best about our city? What do you like least?
As a New Yorker, I love the city and culture of the DMV. When I moved here over 20 years ago, I loved that it gave me the right balance of city and suburban life. Not has much hustle bustle as NY, and not to country, lol
