About Ìyálòde Ifáṣẹ̀yẹ Ọ̀ṣúnwùnmí

E kaabo! Welcome!

Who Am I?
I am Ìyálòde Ifáṣẹ̀yẹ Ọ̀ṣúnwùnmí, a Priestess in the Ifa/Orisa Yoruba tradition. I am initiated into the priesthoods of Ifá, Ọ̀ṣún and Òrìṣàńlá under the compound of the late Chief Ifagbade Oduniyi (Araba of Sagamu) in Sagamu, Ogun State, Nigeria and Baba Ifagbemi of Otura Rigbe Temple, New York, USA. I am also initiated into the priesthood of Ẹgbẹ́ under Chief Princess Yeye Adedoyin Talabi Faniyi of Osogbo, Osun State, Nigeria. I received the honor of the chieftain title, “Ìyálòde Ẹgbẹ́ Àtọ́rísẹ”, in May 2016, officiated by the High Chief Priest and other Senior Priests of Ogunda Meji Temple in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria while under the under the tutelage of Chief Babalawo Awise Adewale Bogunmbe of Ile Okanran Onile International, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. I am a Spiritual Leader, Spiritual Alignment Coach, Certified Spiritual Herbalist and Reiki Master.

Spiritual Alignment Coach
Effective coaching focuses on the client. It builds a trusting relationship by demonstrating attention to their needs. Understanding rather than judging is crucial. It requires listening to the client’s communication. Furthermore, it involves providing encouragement to develop ideas on moving toward their established goals.

As a Spiritual Alignment Coach, I believe balance between mind, body, and spirit is essential. It is necessary for each person to find wholeness. I support clients by partnering with them to encourage motivation. This motivation helps in achieving their goals through self-discovery. It also involves empowered decision making. Thus, bringing them into alignment with their authentic selves.

Spiritual Herbalist
I believe in the healing power of plants. I am honored to receive guidance from spirit as I work with plants. Together, we create herbal formulations that support physical and energetic healing. Herbalism has always been a part of my life. But, about ten plus years ago, I became focused on my passion to be a vessel of healing for others. I hold certification and training under the apprenticeship of Master Herbalist, Astrologer, and Author, Karen M. Rose. I have also learned from other well known master herbalists including indigenous herbalism in the Yoruba tradition.

My Commitment
While not native to the Yoruba tradition and culture, after being a part of this community for twenty plus years, I embody its knowledge, practices, and ways. I do not take my charge as a Priestess and healer lightly. I have a clear mandate of what I’ve been tasked to do and will always give 100%. Spirit directs people to me for guidance and assistance and it is my intention to meet this task. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge with those who want to learn and grow in this path. I believe that knowledge must be passed on accurately. This ensures that the tradition will be sustained in all its beauty and richness.

I continue to make footprints by doing what destiny has called me to do. I am honored to serve the community.
