Iya Egbeyoyin Ifasayo (Egbe provides me sweetness/Ifa brings me joy) is an initiate to Egbe and Ifa and a hoodoo practitioner whose first memory of communicating with her ancestors from this plane of existence was at the age of five when she was visited by her great-great grandfather. Iya Egbeyoyin warmly welcomes clients of all spiritual backgrounds, sexualities and genders.
