Meet DR Ayo Gathings relationship and Life coach to Love And Hiphop reality star Safaree Samuels

Industry Spotlight

Meet DR Ayo Gathings relationship and Life coach to Love And Hip Hop reality star Safaree Samuels. Here is what you need to know about DR Ayo and Jason Gathings. The Gathings aren’t your typical everyday family. They are true visionaries, who are authentic, possess fortitude, and strive to achieve greatness. Their clan includes Jason and Ayo, entrepreneurs, inspirational speakers and mental health professionals as well as their adorable sons Jason (4 ) Jameson (3) and a close knit, supportive extended family. Jason Gathings completed a post graduate program in Behavior Modification and worked as a behavioral analyst. He conducted comprehensive assessments where he observed events within individuals’ environments to bring about behavior change in hopes of impacting the quality of his clients’ lives. Jason also has numerous successful ventures in healthcare and real estate , with emphasis in marketing and management. Ayo Gathing, M.D. is not only a board-certified child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist, she is a health media expert and best selling author / relationship guru  with features in national media including CBS Good Day, HLN Weekend Express, and The Tom Joyner Morning Show. As a professor, and dynamic speaker she specializes in decreasing the stigma of mental illness and imparting her medical knowledge with strategies for maintaining wellness. Gathing’s journey into CBD started when Jason was living in constant pain due to old injuries he sustained during his collegiate football career. He did not want to take addictive pain medication but could not find a suitable alternative. CBD was recommended and he found instant relief and improvement in his overall well-being! At the same time Ayo was working with patients that repeatedly told her that they didn’t trust the medications she was prescribing enough to take them. This serious distrust in “traditional” treatments left many, often in minority communities, in distress. They either had to suffer or live in fear. So, they decided to do something to address these gaps with a mission to provide awareness of natural ways to attain wellness. They created high-quality hemp-based products that work and educate the masses to understand that CBD is an alternative that can be trusted. Soon after producing and selling with huge success, The Gathings realized there was more to be done. Small businesses, budding entrepreneurs, and minority communities were lacking in the fundamental knowledge of how to get into the CBD business.  So, they decided to blow the lid off of the industry and help more people gain access into the often-elusive hemp world. The Gathings are a movement in business and health with a mission of meeting the needs of their customers, other entrepreneurs and the culture. They feel their success lies with staying true to their mental health roots in guiding their endeavors as well as prioritizing God and family above all else.
