Details

  Description

  Based near Bensafrim, 8km from Lagos, on a 3 hectares property we are a family of 9: mama, 2 teens, 2 kids, 2 dogs and 2 cats.
  
  These southwest area is rich in sightseeings, perfect for hiking, cycling, surf etc but there are also a lot of alternative cultural events going on all year round. Summer is long and hot, tourism is very vivid and diverse low season is mild and relaxed.
  
  I like to connect with nature and also cultivate meaningful connections with humans and other species.
  
  Am working daily on my own personal journey from a holistic approach. Love to learn, share and thrive. My priorities are clear, my kids and myself need to be healthy in all matters and from there I also have space to share and support the collective.
  
  Am professionally working as a Doula and Body therapist, Aquatic Body Work is my new old passion.
  
  As a single mum in this project I surely can use extra hands giving preference to couples that can be flexible to do whatever is needed to be done.
