born to Nigerian and Jamaican parents, folashade is a transpersonal therapist, an early childhood specialist, a teacher and a published writer. coming from generations of ‘babalawo’ and ‘iyalawo’, alongside being raised in a spiritually diverse household; ritual, ceremony and turning to our natural connection to the divine for direction and healing, were central in her life experience. fola initiated into a deep awareness of the spirit world through the portal of her father’s suicide at the impressionable age of nine.

the entire unfolding of her life thereafter was a monsoon of spiritual immersion, experience and awakening. this became the driving force of her passion, and the incubating chamber for the tools necessary to assist others toward a life of liberation. while their ability to connect with children greatly informs the work they have been able to do with others, their expertise also arises from their extensive personal journey to spiritual and mental wellness, aided by the use of expertise derived from an amalgamation of indigenous systems of knowledge , spiritual practices, shamanic teachings and psycospiritual ideologies.
