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.

I began my journey with Stella during one of the most destabilizing chapters of my life — my divorce. I required more than just encouragement; I needed clarity, emotional grounding, and the ability to maintain stability for my children amid the chaos. Through her expertise as a relationship coach, Stella offered me invaluable support that was both trauma informed and focused on my mental wellness, guiding me towards personal development during this challenging time.

As my marriage was ending, I found myself overwhelmed by fear, responsibility, and emotional exhaustion. In Stella, I discovered not just a relationship coach, but a source of support that emphasized mental wellness and personal development. Her precision, steadiness, and trauma-informed approach provided me with the emotional intelligence I needed to navigate that challenging season.

Stella helped me transition from feeling stagnant to building my own company with clarity and confidence. Through her trauma-informed relationship coaching, I now embrace personal development and lead from alignment instead of fear, enhancing my overall mental wellness.

From feeling stuck to choosing a relationship built on shared values and cultural alignment — working with Stella, a trauma-informed relationship coach, transformed my approach to personal development and mental wellness, helping me become more decisive in my choices.

Stella was so right on me allowing my feminine side to be my dominant side. I've slowed down and still learning to just love myself and fully be free. Men are offering to carry my groceries and opening doors for me. I've had date requests and been gifted perfumes all in about two weeks."
