The Gentle Nest is a home for all mothers. Queer, single, chosen-family, adoptive, surrogate, however your family was built, you deserve care for you.
Long before I studied human societies in university, I inherited the art of holding a mother.
I built The Gentle Nest on a simple premise: caring for a mother and her baby shouldn't be split into two . You shouldn't have to choose between getting help with your baby or taking care of your own healing body. Every visit is designed to hold both together—blending physical bodywork, newborn cue guidance, hot meals, and emotional space tailored to whatever your day demands.
This holistic approach is rooted in Ojojo Omo—the Yoruba tradition of postpartum care that views mother and child as one continuous act of care. In this practice, a mother is never expected to recover in isolation or run on fumes. I bring that same grounded, ancestral holding right into your home.
Princess, 2 months postpartum
Her approach is so thoughtful and intuitive and she made me feel empowered and nutured all at once.
Linda, 3 months postpartum
She has a calm, welcoming, presence and created a sacred space for rest and renewal. The massage, body wrapping, tea and meal were everything I needed.
Bisola, 2 weeks postpartum
Having Kemi in our home was the breath of fresh air we desperately needed. From physical recovery to gentle guidance with our newborn, she held our whole household with so much warmth.

Acknowledgement of Origins
I want to honor the deep wisdom and nurturing traditions that guide my work at The Gentle Nest.
I give thanks to the Yoruba people of Nigeria, West Africa, my own ancestors, whose rich postpartum traditions of warmth, ritual, and care are the foundation of my practice. I also acknowledge the influence of Mexican postpartum traditions, especially la cuarentena, which teaches us the importance of rest, nourishment, and community in the sacred window after birth.
I live and work on the traditional territories of Treaty 6 and Treaty 7 in Alberta—ancestral lands of the Cree, Dene, Blackfoot, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, and Métis Nation of Alberta. I recognize the enduring presence, wisdom, and resilience of Indigenous peoples and offer my respect to the Elders past, present, and emerging.
This work is a weaving of traditions—an offering of care that is rooted in reverence, softness, and the belief that mothers deserve to be held too.
