About this guest -

Kemi Johnson is a passionate and experienced Birthkeeper, former NHS and Independent Midwife, dedicated to transforming the experience of childbirth. She supports women and families seeking care that goes far beyond the conveyor-belt approach of mainstream systems.

Kemi helps first-time mothers prepare with confidence, and works with those who’ve experienced challenging births to unpack what really happened, offering clarity, healing, and empowerment. Her work is rooted in truth-telling, birth education, and the belief that every woman deserves to be heard, held, and honoured during this sacred time.

She also devotes a significant part of her work to mentoring Birthkeepers around the world, helping them step into their power and support families with integrity and care.

At the heart of it all, Kemi’s mission is simple: to make birth better for everyone, through community, family, and a return to authentic, informed care.

About this episode -

In this conversation with the brilliant and unapologetically authentic Kemi, we explore what it means to live and speak your truth, even when the world would rather you didn’t.

We talk about authenticity, menopause as liberation, and the healing power of honest parenting, including the radical idea that apologising to our children truly matters.

We also challenge the medicalisation of birth, reflect on the hormonal dance of oxytocin, stress, and trauma, and ask why we’ve been led so far from trusting the natural wisdom of the body. For Kemi, home birth isn’t just safe, it’s sacred.

We touch on religious programming, racism in maternity care, and the importance of community, self-awareness, and a more loving, divine perspective on life, health, and even death.


I hope you enjoy this episode.

Lots of love

Doc Malik

Summer Retreat

Book here - https://docmalik.com/retreats/summer-retreat/

Hello lovely people,

Lately, I’ve been feeling more inspired than ever. After years of searching, I finally discovered what truly nourishes the soul, deep connection, real healing, and a sense of belonging.

It wasn’t a course, a quick fix, or the next big thing... it was slowing down, finding my people, and creating space for what really matters.

That’s exactly why I’ve created my Summer Retreat, a heart-centered weekend in the Hertfordshire countryside designed to recharge your spirit, connect you with kindred souls, and remind you of the magic that happens when we come together with purpose and love.

Because if this kind of transformation was possible for me, I know it’s possible for you too.


If you're feeling:

  • Stuck in old patterns

  • Drained, tired, craving a deeper spark

  • Like something essential is missing from your life

  • Tired of tip-toeing around people who don't get you?

  • Longing for real, deep, meaningful conversations?

  • Wanting to inject purpose, drive, and energy back into your world?

  • Ready to finally meet your tribe and feel whole again?

Then this weekend is for you.


🌿 Imagine three awesome days:

  • Healing yoga, breathwork, meditation

  • Cold plunges and sauna therapy to awaken your vitality

  • Transformative workshops and real conversations

  • Sound baths, firepit reflections, deep personal breakthroughs

  • Organic, nourishing, home-cooked meals

  • Authentic connection with like-minded souls

  • Quality time with me, Doc Malik — real conversations, no masks


What past retreat attendees said:

"It’s given me the freedom to live my most authentic self."

"I’m still processing this profound weekend with super special souls."

"It was like meeting your people... on steroids!"

"Had an amazing time. Doc is one of the most genuine people I’ve ever met."


This isn’t just another "wellness weekend."
It’s a chance to break free.
To reset your mind, body, and soul.
To rediscover your spark.
And to reconnect with who you were always meant to be.

Remember:
Spaces are limited.
Once it’s full, it’s full.
