Many guides in Rosa’s life have instructed her in ways of “seeing” – spiritually, metaphysically, culturally. She praises the ancestors who continue to guide her as a spiritual intuitive, empath and coach. Rosa hears, sees and intuitively knows what her clients need. She taps into a client’s own intuition, her own spirit guides as well as those of her clients -- as they convey their wisdom and messages. Spirit provides counsel, guidance and sometimes step-by-step instruction to Rosa’s clients. On occasion readings are supplemented with tarot, utilizing the original deck she has used for three decades. She instructs, in workshop and individual settings, on topics including identifying one's spiritual guides, and visioning and action to maximize one's life. Reverend Rosa is currently in ministerial studies with the New Seminary for Interfaith Studies. She was ordained as a Lucumi priest in 2009, when she received her name Iyademi. Rosa is a trained communicator, facilitator, program manager, and mother (iya). She is a social entrepreneur who coaches nonprofit organizations in business strategies and sustainability. Her business coaching includes visioning toward career success as well as team building. Her current avocation is to record her AfroCuban heritage as a study of migration and assimilation into the US cultural/racial landscape. Her work is now in the Smithsonian Institution, and she was recently featured in an article on diverse voices in Sarasota Magazine. A native of Washington, DC, Rosa resides in Florida.
