Hello,
I’m Dr. Omileye Achikeobi-Lewis, a passionate healer dedicated to helping individuals reconnect with their true selves and life’s purpose. With extensive experience in Clinical Mental Health, School Counseling, Classical Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture, Ayurveda, and Reiki - I’ve supported people through trauma, emotional challenges, intergenerational wounds, and physical imbalance. I've also worked extensively with children’s mental wellness in schools.
My focus includes intergenerational trauma and the well-being of women and children, especially exploring the mind-body connection. I’ve trained in Classical Chinese Medicine , and Shen Gong under Daoist Master Jeffrey Yuen to deepen my healing practice.
As an author and illustrator, my work includes A Journey Through Breath (under my middle name Ezolaagbo), Beautiful Waters, and My Heart Flies Open—a Kirkus Starred Award-winning mindfulness book for children, published by North Atlantic Books.
I’m also devoted to environmental preservation, especially traditional views of water as sacred. This commitment led me to speak at the United Nations on the vital link between human and planetary health.
I’m eager to continue bringing trauma-informed healing to the communities that need it most—while growing and contributing to our collective well-being.
