Ikunde means "Love Yourself"

Founded by Stella Umutoni, MSW

Founded by a coach with a background in social work, psychotherapy-informed trauma care, and professional coaching, Ikunde operates at the intersection of the nervous system, emotional healing, and relational decision-making. Ikunde focuses on mental wellness and personal development for women who often find themselves overgiving, shrinking to be chosen, or repeating patterns with emotionally unavailable partners. Through our relationship coaching, we help women build grounded self-worth, regulate attachment, and create peaceful, values-aligned relationships. Ikunde is for women who are ready to move beyond performing strength and embrace stability, respect, and real partnership.
