Samone Marie

Hello Loves,

Meet Samone Marie, also known as Ìyánífá Ifẹ̀Tayọ̀ ("Love Brings Joy"), is an initiated Ìyánífá in the Ìṣẹ̀ṣe Yorùbá tradition, daughter of Yemoja and Olokun, 8x international bestselling author, full-circle doula, childbirth educator, community health worker, shamanic energy medicine practitioner, and ancestral healer. A mother and grandmother living in Portland, Oregon, she feels most at home near the water, where the healing embrace of Yemoja and the ocean continually nourish her spirit.

Founder of Samone Marie LLC, creator of the Inner-Vision Journey™, and co-founder of Yemoja’s Daughters Collective, she supports individuals and families through life's sacred transitions, including birth, postpartum, grief, loss, spiritual awakening, and the journey toward wholeness. Offering community workshops, retreats, ceremonies, and gatherings that honor ancestral wisdom, healing, sisterhood, and the sacred waters of Yemoja.

Her work blends ancestral wisdom, embodied healing, ritual, prayer, meditation, and the guidance of Ori—the divine inner compass that leads us back to our highest path. After transforming her own experiences of trauma and loss into purpose, Samone was called to the sacred path of Ifá and ancestral healing. As a lifelong intuitive and ancestral medium, she creates spaces where people reconnect with their inner light, ancestral wisdom, and authentic selves.

She is the featured author of multiple international bestselling Kiva Publishing books and a featured contributor to a collaborative oracle deck. Her upcoming book, Soulestial: Awaken by the Ancient Wisdom of Ori, invites readers on a journey of remembrance, alignment, and spiritual awakening. Her greatest passion is helping others reconnect with their authentic selves and return home to their divine essence through the wisdom of their ancestors, the guidance of Spirit called by names (God, Olódùmarè, Creator, Source), and the sacred calling of Ori.
