Traditional Postpartum Doula Training
Master the art of nurturing postpartum families with traditional and evidence based techniques.
Empowering families, doulas, and birth professionals with the resources, training, and support needed to thrive during the postpartum period and beyond.
We’re proud to be recognized and supported by leading organizations in maternal health and advocacy:
At Okionu, we believe in the power of community, education, and culturally rich care to redefine postpartum experiences. Founded by a team of seasoned birth professionals, we bring decades of experience and a shared vision to empower families and birthworkers alike.
Our founder, Jacquelyn Clemmons, brings over 20 years of experience as a birth and postpartum doula, educator, and advocate. From mentoring new birthworkers to producing films like Jazz and the Blues, Jacquelyn’s leadership drives Okionu’s mission to create a future where maternal health is prioritized, celebrated, and supported.
Our mission is simple: to create a world where postpartum care is holistic, accessible, and transformative.
Our new short film, Jazz and the Blues, captures the raw, unfiltered journey of postpartum recovery, exploring the untold stories of resilience, vulnerability, and healing.
