Okionu: Where Tradition Meets Transformation
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.
