About The Healing Studio (Ọgwụ)

Discover how The Healing Studio (Ọgwụ) empowers Black and Brown professionals to transform lived experience into impactful leadership. We champion career progression, confidence, and visibility in systems that weren't designed for you. Explore our journey and commitment to fostering intentional inclusion.

Our story

The Healing Studio (Ọgwụ) was born not from theory, but from necessity. As a Black migrant woman navigating the intersecting worlds of nursing, academia, and leadership, I experienced racialised bullying, imposter syndrome, and exclusion. I know what it means to be silenced in rooms where your presence is tolerated but your power is denied. This space was created so no one else has to walk that journey alone.

Our mission

At The Healing Studio (Ọgwụ), our mission is to help Black and Brown professionals turn lived experience into leadership  supporting career progression, confidence, and visibility in systems never built for them. We also work with organisations to move from tokenistic diversity to intentional inclusion, embedding anti-racist, healing-centred, and decolonial practice at the core of leadership, education, and care.

What makes us different

Unlike generic coaching services, The Healing Studio (Ọgwụ) is deeply rooted in lived experience, healing justice, and cultural truth. We don’t ask you to blend in or start from scratch, we help you rise authentically and strategically within systems never built for you. Our approach is healing-centred, decolonial, creative, and academically rigorous. We offer career progression coaching, confidence building, mentorship, and organisational consultancy.

"The Healing Studio (Ọgwụ) has truly transformed my perspective and empowered me to lead with confidence and authenticity. I highly recommend their services to any Black or Brown professional seeking to thrive in their career."

I’ve just heard back from the recruiter, I’ve been offered an interview for the role after lots of disapointments, i felt lost and contacted The Healing Studio. Thank you so much for all your help, I really appreciate it. This is my first Band 6 job interview after years of being stuck at band 5 and your support has made all the difference.
