ABOUT THE ARTIST

JAPONICA WALKER

Japonica Rena Walker is a native of North Little Rock, Arkansas.  She has lived in Texas for 12 years, where everything is bigger in Texas and you can actually experience all four seasons in one day. 

She is board certified Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine, author, and empowerment speaker for self-care and self-respect.  She is the mother of eight children, three grandchildren, and has been married to Eppie for over 30 years.

After completing a tour of duty in US Air Force, she decided to dedicate her life to raising a family.  She has spent over 20 years homeschooling her children, instilling in them a love for education.  All eight have completed a college degree, ranging from undergraduate to Ph.D. While homeschooling, she went back to school to achieve her Doctorate in Naturopathy, Bachelors in Business Administration/ Accounting, certification in Nutritional Counseling,  certification in Personal Training, and became an ordained minister.   Her passion is to educate and equip people with powerful biblical principles for self-care and respect and provide practical tools to help them to transition into their greatness and purpose.

At the age of 47, she did her first bodybuilding competition. She later went on to receive her pro card as a Figure competitor at the age of 50.  Six years ago she began her Essence of Excellence business, where she uses natural, holistic, and integrative therapies to service her clients.  She helps many to recover from health and weight related diseases, trains women and men in the sport of bodybuilding, designs individualized lifestyle nutritional programs, as well as weight loss programs. 

It has been her dream since the age of nine to have a life changing impact on the world. In the last two years, God has positioned her to see this dream being realized thru various opportunities and platforms. She has been invited to speak to many women’s groups on self-care and self-respect, she has been featured on Cheryl Williams’ Power Radio, Cindy Reed’s “Raise Em and Praise Him - Testimony Tuesday", and she has co-authored on her first book, Soul Talk, which is due to be released in March 2017. 

Dr. Japonica’s vision is to help people to use their challenges as an opportunity for gratitude and change of perspective, so as to acquire divine peace and directions for their optimal quality of life. “It’s time for us to walk in health, wholeness, and our greatness.  For His Glory!”
