"I would very highly recommend Iya. I’ve known her my whole life primarily as my mother, but also as a spiritual woman. She has a genuine love for her life purpose, the work that she does, as well as for the people she helps. She’s helped a lot of lives, and continues to make an impact. It shows through the people she pours into and the safe space she creates for them. I’ve seen her work and heal people my whole life, and I can confidently say that her work is true and honest. I Love you Mami!"

"From the moment I met Madrina, I knew that she was gifted. She is someone who puts her all into everything that she does. There is no gray area with her. From working spiritual masses and invoking spirits to making cleanses and clearing negative energies, she is extremely consistent and efficient. Madrina is very passionate about what she does and has always worked with me to get through any obstacle in my life. She is a true mother and a true spiritualist. We have been together going on 8 years and I would 100% advise scheduling a consultation to take a dive into the unknown so that you may get in tune withyour true destiny."

"When I met my godmother I had no idea that I needed her. My life was out of control, and I was unclear on exactly how out of control it was until I met her. My godmother explained in depth what was happening to my family and myself. She ultimately saved me and my family, and consistently continues to do so until this day, for 36 years and counting.
For that I will forever be grateful to her."

"My misa with Madrina was an eye-opening and deeply spiritual moment. I felt blessed, comforted, and renewed, as if I had seen things from a new perspective. Madrina is a strong, caring, and faith-filled woman who always goes out of her way to make sure her clients are supported and doing well. I am truly grateful for her presence and guidance in my life."

"My first experience with IYA Family Empowerment began with an introduction by a friend. I received a spiritual consultation and scheduled a spiritual reading based upon the information that was shared during my consultation.I was immediately blown away at the personal and grave details a complete and total stranger provided to me. Although, my initial reading was filled with smiles, there were many tears as things were revealed that I had never shared with anyone, not even the friend that provided the introduction.At the time of my consultation, I was in a place of uncertainty, heartache, mental and emotional fatigue, and just completely overwhelmed with life; I was in a dark tunnel in need of a lighted path to see my way out and IYA Family Empowerment provided that light!Through consistent guidance, motivational conversations, assisted spiritual implementations and practices, my life is all the better!IYA Family Empowerment, helped me recognize the light within, heal past traumas, and gave me the courage to face each day boldly; knowing that what you yield to God in positivity, well intention, and harmonious energy, will be reflected back unto you!!"

"Madrina is the one person I truly believe I met in divine timing. She guided me through the moments I needed it most and uplifted me spiritually in ways my soul had been craving. Because of her guidance and teachings, I stand tall and proud today, having overcome so many challenges in my life both spiritually and mentally. I am forever grateful for her light and love. Love you, Madrina"

"Madrina has been a strong spiritual guiding presence for me. I come from a very strong espiritista family and always knew I had a spiritual gift. As I got older, my sense of discernment manifested stronger, but I still didn't know how to use it. I became interested in Lucumi and found a person who I thought would be able to help me. Turns out, it didn't work.I was fortunate enough to marry a man whose connection to my Madrina was personal. We got to know each other, and I felt that she was validating certain things for me and helping me to grow spiritually I trust her. I know she's my Madrina because EVERY SINGLE TIME I go through something ..I don't have to say anything .. I get a call asking what's wrong and why I didn't call. :) I trust her so much with my spiritual well-being, I asked her to be the spiritual guide for my family should anything happen to me.Thank you, Madrina, for being there for me. And praying for me even when I don't ask. Besos"
