Ayo Holistic is a marriage of my life philosophy of fostering personal spiritual, mental and physical wellness as well as connecting with those around us by receiving and giving joy.
In 2012, I took my first trip to Nigeria to meet my mother-in-law, Deaconess Hilda Omobolanle Onayiga. We had yet to meet in person and I was excited and nervous. I arrived in Abuja and my mother-in-law greeted me with song and dance as well as open arms. After spending a few days together, she, gave me a Yoruba name, Ayomikun – my joy is full. I was touched by the gesture; however, the full significance of this exchange as well as the beauty of the name given to me came later as I continued to reflect on my trip.
In 2007, my mother-in-law founded a grade school in Karu, Abuja where she is lovingly referred to as Mummy Daycare. The grade school continues to grow year to year, a testament to her strong entrepreneurial skills. She is a strong believer in entrepreneurship and always encouraged her children to do the same. Thinking back if anything she was a mirror. She greeted me with song and dance as well as open arms. She was pure joy!
