About KEMI BLAKE
The work behind the method—and why it matters that you understand how your body actually works.
KEMI BLAKE
Founder of Bodi KEMiSTRI ™
Kemi Blake is the founder of Bodi KEMiSTRi™, a revolutionary somatic methodology that synthesizes breathwork, postural alignment, and nervous system regulation into a comprehensive system for embodied healing and consciousness evolution.
Born and raised in Harlem, New York, Kemi's journey began with academic excellence—earning her degree from Georgetown University and interning at the White House during the Clinton administration. But despite external success, she felt profoundly disconnected from her body and trapped in survival mode.
At 30, as a single mother seeking joy beyond achievement, Kemi discovered contortion; a practice that would become her gateway to somatic awakening. Almost ten years of intensive training in Las Vegas with Mongolian coaches from Cirque du Soleil, she decoded her body's language, discovering that physical misalignment reflected deeper patterns of trauma, disconnection, and dysregulation.
Her journey took her worldwide. In Honduras, she lived in a Garifuna village near Dr. Sebi’s compound, learning internal healing. In China, she trained in martial arts to develop internal power through breath and alignment. In India, she completed advanced teacher training, discovering that true flexibility comes from release, not force.
Why Clients Trust Kemi Blake
Through these experiences and her own body's revelations, Kemi discovered what she calls the Hydraulic Breath™—a system based on the coordination of the body's five diaphragms to create internal pressure regulation, nervous system coherence, and somatic freedom. This became the foundation of Bodi KEMiSTRi™, a practice that treats the body not as advanced technology to be understood.
Kemi has been featured on Good Morning America and she has become a sought-after teacher for those seeking to break free from chronic pain, anxiety, and the patterns that keep them stuck. Her approach is grounded in science—drawing from osteopathy, fascial research, and biomechanics—while remaining deeply rooted in lived experience and cultural wisdom. Through Bodi KEMiSTRi™, Kemi guides people to reclaim their bodies as the portal to presence, sovereignty, and transformation.
Kemi lives in Las Vegas with her daughter Kimani, who continues to be her greatest teacher in the practice of embodied living.
