We went to Michael in March for a reading after my husband was accused of something he didn't do and Michael told us not to worry that everything was going to be ok we stayed in faith and even when we got desperate after going to court month after month we would call him and he kept telling us that we needed to dig deeper in faith. Well we went to court and just like Michael told us his case was dismissed. We are so greatful to Michael. He never once tried to sell us limpias or anything, his advise was always look to faith. He and his wife Yoland are wonderful people that make you feel at home. I highly recommend Botanica Oggun once you go YOU WILL BE AMAZED! Thanks

I first met Mike in 2008, I walked into the botanica in tears. I was feeling so much pain and sorrow. I had just received the worst news a mother could ever recieve. My unborn child growing inside me was ill and would go to be with the lord. Mike sat down with me and consoled me. His honesty and open heart helped me feel so much better. I am so greatful for his kind words that he gave me on that day. I will forever be thankful! I went back to Mike this year for a reading. I was lost and didn't know which direction my life was going to take me. I felt empty and alone. I was seeking the truth and he sure did give it too me. He opened my eyes and my heart! He not only gives you the reading, but makes you feel at peace. He told me that I need to find my faith and to get my spirit back. Since that day after my reading I pray everyday and feel so much happier. Mike and his wife are so welcoming and understanding. They treat you like family. There are no word to explain how thankful I am now that Mike and Yolanda are apart of my life! I highly recomend the botanica oggun! You're experience will be amazing! THANK YOU MIKE!

I went to see Micheal for a Consulta limpia on 8/8/11. I am going through a very bad time in my life. A few months ago I was falsely arrested for assault by my wife. I am facing a divorce and losing my kids. My wife is not helping me at all. She is doing identity theft with my social. I was looking at losing my job, and spending a year in jail. When I saw Michael he told me that I was depressed, lost. He told me that I needed to find my faith, and things would work out. On my case he told me that my lawyer was no good. I fired the lawyer and hire a different one. Next day we want to court settled my case no jail time. At work Michael told me thing would work out, or quit I don't need the stress. My position at work there are 4 of us we run four teams. I am over paid and they are trying to cut there budget. So they were trying to get rid of me. One girl quit thursday so they need to keep me now and it ease's there budget. Michael told me to find my faith. Be patient and things will fall into place. I have since found my faith I am a much happier person. Thanks to Michael! He is a stand up Guy!

WOW!...... I went to go see Michael months ago with my mother to get some guidance on some family matters. His reading was intensely accurate with very little information given to him. After following his suggestions, I couldn't believe what a wonderful turn around that my mom and I were experiencing. I feel I can't thank him enough for all his help. Not to mention, his wife, Yolanda was so dear and a joy to talk with while waiting for my reading.

Después de haber tenido una lectura a distancia por Michael muy impactante que removio cosas muy dolorosas pero ciertas de mi pasado y mi presente, con muchos esfuerzos economicos y de salud (gracias a mi hija y mi yerno) vine expresamente de Colombia a ver a Michael, quien despues de una lectura mas completa me hizo una limpia. Un mes despues de esa limpia, puedo decir que me siento como una persona completamente renovada en el aspecto espiritual y moral, y sentimentalmente ya entiendo el por que de muchas cosas y me siento segura de lo que quiero. Y lo mas impactante es que, a pesar de que aun tengo un camino largo que recorrer en mi recuperacion, los problemas de salud mas fuertes, junto con la ansiedad, los miedos y el estres se han ido reduciendo de forma increible. Gracias a Dios y a Michael y Yolanda, por todo lo anterior y por haberme devuelto la oportunidad de volver a vivir

Came here to seek help in guidance for job wise and in my love department and having a consultation with Mike was amazing experiences of my life. He was on the POINT about a lot of things going on in my life at this time. Without saying to much about why I came here and what I asked for. May I say this is a place where your prayers will be listened to and answered. This shop has a variety of candles, herbs, oils and other items as well. Not only this shop has a large variety of things but the shop is so organized and clean and the welcoming service is so warming and caring. The owners Mike and Yolanda are very respectful people, very down to earth and I highly recommend this place. I myself will be going back and visit them time and time. :)

My experience with Mike was amazing! I have been going through things in life that were difficult and I turned to Mike for prayer, help and answers. I visited Mike on a Thursday afternoon, I was welcome by his wonderful wife Yolanda. I was given instructions by Mikes wife what to do while I was sitting there before my reading. I held back tears as I sat there.. Minutes later Mike is ready for my reading. I walk into this room and sit there and was given instructions by Mike..I sat there, and no longer could I hold it in..I cried and cried! Mike begans my reading and tells me what I needed to work on and what was going on with me. All he told me was the truth !! It was amazing but emotional and joyful! I have since then regain faith slowly and realized that it will all be ok...I would like to say THANK YOU to MIKE & YOLANDA!! I am going back to Mike in the next few days because things just started going the opposite way again. I called Mike he knew exactly what was going and told me what I needed to do before I see him. I can honestly say this is no bull..no lies..no joke. I highly recommend Mike to all my family! He has helped me and continues to help me ! I am very thankful to met his wife and him! Once again MIKE and YOLANDA THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!

Encontrar a Botanica Oggun a cambiado mi vida completamente, yo estaba en el peor momento d mi vida, ya casi no sinreia y casi siempre estaba d mal humor. Tenia una gran depresion asta el punto de pensar en quitarme la vida. Pero Mike y su esposa Yolanda me ayudaron mucho a salir de mi depresion, gracias a su consulta, su limpia y sus consejos por que aparte de sus servisios tambien me ofrecieron su amistad sincera. An estado en a mi lado en momentos muy dificiles de mi vida y se an preocupado por mi y por mi familia. Tambien nos ayudaron a mi pareja y mi a mejorar nuestro negocio d perdidas econonicas y a mejorar nuestro hogar. Grcias a ellos e vuelto a sonreir, no permito que me maltraten, soy mas segura de mi misma! Pero lo mejor d todo es que e recuperado mi fe espiritual! Mike y Yolanda son personas q hacen por el bien y por esi los adoro de corazon! De verdad los recomiendo por q son personas siceras y te dicen tus verdades directo y sin sensura. De verdad son lo MAXIMO!/2011

This is the first review I've ever written, and I know there are hardly words to say how thankful I am to Michael & Yolanda. Their welcome yet direct approach is something that I have lacked in my life. This is the third time i've seen them and I know I should have written this long ago. They are amazing at what they do and you must be ready to listen to the truth. I was full of complicated negative thoughts and emotions, but Michael has helped me find my way to the life that I've always wanted. He's helped me realize things about myself that only I dared to think. You must have an open mind and be willing to listen to everything. I'm grateful to have found them and hope that people will truly find their way to Botanica Oggun when in need, because I know that they will appreciate life every moment from then on.

I was in a dark place in my life and never understood why. After so many disappointments my mom told me to talk to someone. So I googled botanicas, and I feel very blessed to have found Mike and Yolanda. He gave me what I most needed, spiritual guidence and truth. He brought to light so many issues that I had ignored and he made me realize I needed to deal with them. He wasn't trying to sell me a service, he was really concerned for my spiritual well being. He was very honest with me and made me realize that I also needed to be honest with myself. After our consultation I walked out with an awareness that instantly changed my life. I regained my faith, and feel at pease with my past and I am no longer in that dark place.
If you need spiritual guidence visit Mike and Yolanda, it will change your life for the better.
by fabiola 07/20/2011
My experience with Michael and his wife Yolanda has been wonderful. They are the kindest people I have ever met. Not only did Michael save my life but gave me great spiritual guidance to help me. He is honest and doesn't beat around the bush. He can tell you everything you need to know without you having to tell him anything. He will offer you help and guidance. I promise if you go see him you will not be dissapointed and will have a whole different outlook on the spiritual world.

It only gets better. I have been back to see Mike & Yolanda a few times. They have always treated me like family & been there anytime I needed advice & direction. Mike's readings are always dead on. Always. Most recently, my life was in such upheaval I didn't know which way to turn. Yeah I did. First, I was laid off in June... just as predicted months before. Crazy stuff happening at our house & tons of thefts & break-ins on both cars. Anxiety, panic about direction in life... general chaos! My husband & I both tend to go with the flow & laugh through the hard times, but it had gotten so overwhelming, we just weren't sure how much more we could take from these unseen forces. I walked into the botanica for the first time in months & was welcomed with open arms & an instant feeling that everything was going to be okay. After my reading & cleansing, I felt an inner peace & self-realization I hadn't had in a really long time. Within 2 days, I had phone calls from 3 different friends offering amazing job possibilities! After cleansing my home, the feeling of pressure has lifted & is again... our happy home. I am forever grateful to Mike & Yolanda for being who they are & making me feel like family. I can always count on a warm feeling, no-BS advice & a lot of laughs. I always leave with a smile in my heart. Yet again... I can't recommend Botanica Oggun more!

Following the death of my beloved mother some 20 years ago, I had chosen pain over joy for most of my adult life. I lived life searching for what I didn’t have and never thought much about the many blessings I already had in my life. I met Mike when I was at a crossroads – a breaking point, actually. I so desperately needed to step out of the darkness and into the light and Mike has helped me beyond measure. Sitting with him is like taking a long, hard look at yourself in the mirror. Mike sees and knows things about you that you would rather have disappear, but he inspires you to look within, to be blatantly honest with yourself and to stop making excuses and blaming other people for your lot in life. Mike asks questions and provides guidance, but he leaves it completely up to you whether or not you want to heed his advice and change your life. Mike sees the gifts that each of us has and he brings you "back home" to your core. He believes in you and, in turn, you return to believing in yourself. I could have chosen to stay in the darkness –that would have been easy– but Mike and I both knew that that was not my destiny. While I still have some work to do, I know I have made incredible strides in improving my life since my first consultation with Mike. So, if you are at a crossroads and are willing to hear the TRUTH, confront it head on and then do the hard work needed to change your life, there is no one better in Austin, TX to help you get there than Mike.

I needed some no-bullshit, real talk guidance and insight to my life. Seeing a traditional therapist had no interest to me. I didn’t want to tell my life story to a stranger and walk out with a prescription for some hardcore anti-depressants. So, in order to try something different I called Mike at Botanica Oggun.
It was the best investment I’ve ever made in myself.
When I called, Yolanda (Mike's wife) scheduled the consultation for me. She calmed my nerves and briefly explained what to expect. On the day of my consultation I arrived on time and she was right there to greet me. A few minutes later, Mike pops out and has me meditate on the why I’m there and what questions I want answered. After about 10 minutes he tells me he’s ready to start the consultation. So, we go back to his consultation room and I got what I wanted - told me exactly what to work on, what to change. During the reading I cried hard. I laughed hard. I made a new friend.
Mike offers the truth and is brutally honest during the process. And if you want to see positive results in your life, seriously consider his advice.
by Mary Tinoco 06/09/2011
my experience with mike was an experience i will never for get......i feel now i have the knowledge that i need to better my life and the guidance to help push me throw......some places you go you have to tell them your whole life story BUT not here all you need to do is give you name and date of birth and he dose the rest......if you dont belive me try it for your self i promise you wont be let down :)

Padrino has helped me connect with my Egguns and their love for me has made me appreciate living. The Saints bless me everyday. They care for me and protect me in ways that I can not even imagine. Their love for me is amazing. My life is filled with miracles that I am now aware of because they have enlightened my spirit/consciousness. I have seen them and felt them. They are strong and all knowing. I love them and feel so grateful that we are together.
All of my love is for my Egguns and Saints. I highly recommend visiting the shop if you are open and ready for truth and healing.

I first heard about Michael in 2009 by a very close friend who said was really good. Really didn't think much about it until this year. It was something that made me stop in front of his place. I got off and decided to go inside. I met Yolanda and she is very polite. She asked me if I needed help with something and I said yes. I want to know if anyone does any cleansings and how much they charged. She told me I needed to schedule an appt and that depending on the cleansing I needed. At that point I was in denial. Michael came out from the back and just gave me this look. He just told me everything just by staring at me. He told me about the headaches I get, the noises I hear in my house, how I woke up _ around 2-3am sleepless, the black shadow my daughter had seen 2 days prior from that day, my body aches. I was speechless. He has taught me so much. I thank him for making me understand so many things. Because of him, I think different. I've got to admit, he is the mist honest person I've met. My husband also met him and he has managed to leave the past in the past and worry only about jis kids, his health, and prosperity. Our relationship is different now. We have been working together to make it stronger and not allowing the brujeria beat us. Our love is stronger than any brujeria. I will always thank him and Yolanda for all their help. You'll are great ppl and I don't know how many times to thank you both. I see them as family and I just love to hear Michael getting mad at me. He calls me Chismosa!!!

I can't even put into words how happy I am that I found Botanica Oggun. From the moment I walked in a felt a tranquility that I haven't felt in a while. I met Mike told him my birthday and instantly he began to tell me things about myself. Everything was so true that I cried. I when in there cuz of relationship problems, but he open my eyes to much more with a reading. I was so focused on " Dick & balls'" rather then being focused on bettering myself and my health. Someone was doing brujeria on me and he suggested some baths. They explained everything step by step and even told me to call if i had questions. With every bath I felt a weight being lifted from me. At the end of the 6th bath I lit a white candle prayed and a beautiful rainbow appeared from the flame. Instantly I felt ay peace. I'm slowlymaking thechanges he suggested to better myself and I know with time and patience I will achieve it. Thanks to Mike and his wife I finally have a direction in life .

Before i want to mike i was doing really bad once a went to him my life changed now am doing fine thank you so much for helping me i dont know where i would be now if it wasnt for you helping me so if your life is going upside down go see him.
by Raul M 05/22/2011
I have been seeing mike for about six months. The first time he saw me he told me he couldn't help me because i was very stubborn and that unless i was willing to listen to him there was no way i was going to get the help that I needed. I did listen and now i am able to look at myself and actually see what he saw in me, I am not at stubborn as I was and now I am looking at the broad picture instead of focusing on one specific thing.
Mike has told me things that only i would know, and thanks to his advice i am more at ease at work, with my family and my health.
Thank you very much Mike and I look forward to our next meeting.

By the time that I entered the Botanica, things had reached the point of desperation. I think that might be the case for many first timers. I really did not know what to expect. The list of things going wrong in my life had reached a point of real concern. My family had suffered from serious illness for two years and my business was in the middle of a downturn because of the recession. I entered the Botanica with apprehension. I was very concerned that I was doing something that was directly against my religious beliefs and upbringing. I told Mike that I wouldn’t do anything that I found to be sacrilegious. I quickly learned that I was wrong in my assumptions about his work. Mike quickly started telling me things about myself that I either didn't realize or didn't want to realize. He also educated me on the things that were perhaps responsible for my difficulties. Without really spelling it out, he felt that there was a darkness over myself, my family and my business. I see Mike as a spiritual liaison. He helps to connect his clients with their saints and guardians. He quotes scripture regularly and it is easy to see that he has a passion for his work. I think he honestly feels he is that liaison and he shares his gift openly. As a catholic I often said the following prayer; I ask all the angels and saints to pray for me to the Lord our God. I never really took that prayer seriously. Mike taught me how to connect with those saints that are here for us. His names for these saints may differ from mine, but the benefit remains the same. If we believe in God, we must in turn believe in angels and saints. If we believe in those entities, then me must also believe in their dark counterparts. Through prayer, Mike help me to re-connect with my saints and my God. It has been a process. But I do believe that he has helped me. Things are better now. I feel at times that a large weight has been lifted from my shoulders. While there is still much work to be done, I am confident that a brighter time is coming. I pray every night for God's will to be done. I thank Mike for teaching me to put my trust back in God and his son Jesus Christ.

I first heard about the Botanica Oggun from my mother when I was suffering in Cali. At first I was a non beliver in what I was raised to belive. When I first enter the Botanica I was overwhelmed with such a calming and safe surrounding that it brought tears to my eyes. I have never felt so much peace and power before in my life. He with one look knew pin point who I was and my troubles before the first hand shake. It was amazing. They helped me with my suffering I had been fighting against my faith and saints. I opend myself up to be tormented by a bad sprit. They knew and showed me and helped me get my strenght back and back on my lit path. If it weren't for them I honestly was to the point of taking my own spirt away from my body. Everyone I meet who's struggling I always tell them about my story and how much I am greatful for everything they have done for me. I would only recommend going to the Botanica Oggun they are true and will help you with any trouble you are having. They helped me see the light they helped me find a job and to relize that the things I held onto were not where my life was supposed to be and they gave me the strength to change it. I have no bad things that I could ever say or even imagine to say because there just aren't any. Even if you are how I used to be a non beliver, they truly have a gift to help and cure. Every body at somepoint in life needs help with there battels I did and I am so greatful that I could never repay them back for the happiness and peace that I feel now.

This has truly been a miracle: During a follow-up visit, I mentioned to Michael my concerns about my mom's health (which had been going downhill over the past years but had started getting worse since December, to the point that even a tests doctors needed to run for her heart was becoming life-threatening (the doctors were sure she had a serious heart problem aside from a blockage on her left side)). When starting talking, Michael went on describing her current condition and risks, without me having said anything. At that moment, she called me on my phone through Skype, and once i answered and told her I was at his office, he started doing something like a "reading to her", with me translating everything to her (a reading overseas!!). I was shocked to see how many things he told her were so accurate, not only about her current condition but about her entire life, some that I did not even know but that she confirmed while in tears when i was translating to her (she's overseas and does not speak any English). But the most shocking part to me was that, after he told her that all was due to a brujeria that had been done on her about twenty years ago (for which my brother died as well), my mom said, was something she had been told after my brother died, more than ten years ago by different people/different times when she had tried to look for answers. How could he know this? and from another country? and not even doing a complete reading?
He said there might be something to do with God's help, and the most amazing thing is that after finishing the treatment done by him, not only did she undergo the tests with no complications: when the results came back, her doctor said it was a TRUE miracle! that he could not explain how her heart was perfect after all they had detected! In addition, her blood pressure finally responded to the medications and got stable, which took almost two years to happen.
My mom still has to finish treatments, the blockage on her left dide is still there, but her heart is perfect! she still has a limpia to get done, but her progress has been, according to the doctors, a real miracle. We can't stop thanking God for Michael and Yolanda, thanking God for allowing my mom to have a chance to recover her health and thus recover some of her life with us

I am not a friend of writing reviews, but this experience has been so life-challenging and life-saver that we want other people in need of God's help to be able to have the same chance we had. I was desperately looking for any answers regarding several situations my husband and I had been through over the past two years, despite efforts to make things better. I was also lost on what direction I should take in life, not sure if I had made the right choice, after having left behind a very promising career (and two highly-paid jobs) in engineering, in order to become a psychologist, trying to do something meaningful in my life by helping others. After looking for weeks, I found the botanica, and despite my preventions, something told me I had to go the very next day, which I did. I mentioned my plans to my husband, and immediately he asked for personal time at work that same evening to go with me the next day. We showed up with no appointment and no information at all. We went with some reservations, and my husband is somewhat skeptic (not of the Santeria per se, but of people), because we know how many people out there are only looking to take advantage of those seeking out for help. Nonetheless, Michael really surprised us with telling us right away, without even knowing us, so many things up front that we were not expecting at all, but that deep down, rang a bell: everything was totally true and made sense. In addition, he said so many things he had no way to know as we did not even have a chance to tell him anything else than how lost we felt (and we weren' even at the point of the reading yet). The reading following that introduction confirmed what he had been telling us, and was so accurate we were shocked. He then told us what we had to do, and once my husband had his limpia, the change on him was immediate and so impressive (remember, we are somewhat skeptic of people), to the point that his facial expression changed that same day, his mood, and things for him since that day have been much easier. Even other people noticed his change. I also knew the reasons for a health problem I'e been having, which were just confirmed by the doctor this past week. And very important, he reassured me that I was finally on the right path on my career, that this was my true calling and purpose in life. The next time I went, he told me that things were not going as expected yet not because of any brujeria, but because of some things I was not doing quite right. Sometimes Michael might come across as harsh, but I know people like me - yes, smart BUT of strong character and stubborn - sometimes need somebody though and strong to tell you what you are doing wrong and what you need to work on to develop all your potential. AND you need to be humble enough to hear it and know it's for your own good. Only those who really care about you, who see your potential, devote so much time on this, to help you see what you need to improve; It's exactly what he did, It shows he does really care. Thanks Michael, for helping me see what I have to do to become a great person and professional, and in consequence, to truly be able to help others effectively; to help me believe in myself and my own angel, in God's plan for me. And thanks, Yolanda, for always being there and be such a support on all the process behind the scene. We feel so blessed for having found you both! If you want to know what is really going on in your life, and most important, your part and responsibility on your own situation, without anybody sugar-coating things, this is the right place.

My wife and I have been concerned about our youngest son. He has been seeing, hearing and feeling things in our home. There would be nights where he would see things and start screaming and there was nothing we could do about it but hold him and pray. We tried getting the house blessed. For about two months he didn't have anymore problems. Then it started all over again. I have been stressing out trying to figure out what was bothering my son. My sister in law referred me to Botanica Oggun. My wife and I went to visit Botanica Oggun and that's when we met Mike and Yolanda. They where two of the nicest, honest and up front people you would want to meet. They gave my a reading session and told me everything that was going on with my son and I. Mike and Yolanda came out to clean my home of all of the evil things that has been bothering my son. And they also cleaned myself of all the stress and pain I have been having. The feeling in my house feels great now and I feel like a new person. I can't say thank you enough for the help the both of you given me and my family. If you ever have any issues or problems like what my family and I went through, or just have something you just don't understand. You should go check out Botanica Oggun I recommend it.
Thank you Mike and Yolanda for all your help.

My little boy had been having nightmares and didnt feel comfortable in our home because he would see and hear things. We had a our house blessed and things seemed to have stopped for about 2 months. Well it started up again about a week ago, my husband and I felt helpless and didnt know what to do or where to turn. I was referred to Botanica Oggun by my sister and I loved it. Mike and Yolanda are wonderful! They have helped me better understand what was happening to my son in our reading session. Mike and Yolanda came out and cleaned my house of all the things that were bothering my son. My house now feels the way a home should feel, safe! I cant say thank you enough to the both of them. If you ever have any issues like we did or just something that you need help with, you should definitely go and check out Botanica Oggun.
Thanks again Mike and Yolanda for all of your help!!!

I began visiting Botanica Oggun about 4 months ago. Bit by bit it has changed my life. Large problems have been dealt with and overcome while small issues are much more easily handled. The difference that Mike and Yolanda have helped make in my quality of life is incredible. Thank you both!!!

My life was in a uproar until I met Michael. He told me things that no one else knew. My spiritual side has become more wiser now that Michael has informed me of things that I need to change to make my life better. He is a wonderful person. When you have a chance drop by and visit you will have no regrets...

The way i found mike last saturday is so funny and we laughed about it when we met, last saturday april 2, 2011. I found his web page and i started calling his number not seeing that it was early in the morning on a saturday. After calling his number like a million times saturday morning,he name me (FIRE). I drove from killeen to austin (1hr 20mins) to get to the store,while i was in the store walking around looking and talking to his wife to get help. Mike walked over and i started telling him way i was there and what i was looking for. Mike started to read me and telling me things about my pass and my present, he was so right on the money that i started to cry. After that i deceided i was going to get a full reading. Put it to you like this Mike told me things that not even my own mother dont know about me. I was unlucky in love and not because i was bad at picking men, it was me i had to clean me and make good with the girl in me and start loving me again. Mike told me about my 14 year old son in my reading and he told me what my son had been thru will i was away serving my country. Mike told me how to clean up myself and my son and he is working with us now, Mike and his wife are great people. Since i met Mike and his wife and he started working with me and my son, we are doing alot better. Mike is there if i have any questions about anything that i have to do, him and his wife is there for my son if he needs to talk. Mike is what i have being searching for,he is the real deal. I've had readings before but its like they were asking me questions and telling me it back in a different way. But with Mike he didnt ask me nothing, he was just telling me its like he went back into my pass and he was reliving me there. Mike did not sell me nothing i didnt need, he told me that i have to help me and in order to do so i have to make amens with the little girl in my pass life and my ancestors. Mike is all about help people and making people lives better. Thanks, Mike and Yolanda.
Forever gratefull

When I first went to see Mike he flat out told me he wouldn't read me. He said I was stubborn and wouldn't listen to logic. This was very true. I had to go through the worst to "get off my pedestal". I was going through my ex trying to take my kids away and being abused verbally, physically, emotionally, and sexually left me scared, lost, and helpless. No one knew these things but Mike. I called one day desperately needing a reading. He couldn't give me one but insisted on a cleansing bc I had been through so much and had so much on me. When I got this cleansing I literally felt this lost, confused, helpless, reckless feelings out of me. It's hard to describe but it's like finally getting that wedged knife out of your back.
He gave me advise on how to go about things about my life and received not only a clear focused mind but I got "me" back. I haven't felt this freedom in years. Im very appreciative of both mike and his wife bc w out them I would be lost in this world. He said so many things that I will never forget but most that comes to mind "Your not 14 anymore, show your a woman of self respect and dignity". I just want to say this was a life changing experience and again truly grateful for this, the beads, guidance on how to over power someone that has done me wrong and most importantly not settling in life anymore.
Thank you mike, my ancestors, and guardian angel thank you for my new beginning of life. My kids thank you as well. :0)

Mike was instrumental in helping me find my way and figure out what I wanted and didn't want at a pivotal point in my life. He forced me to see and address my weaknesses (that I was in denial of). He gave me hope when I felt hopeless and direction when I had no idea where to go. I moved forward because of him and am a stronger person

This is honestly my first review I have EVER taken the time to write up. Mike plain and simple doesnt play around. Your going to get the facts, and your going to get the truth. Your not going to get anything sugar-coated so be ready to handle the that. Mike was recommended to me by my sister who, had nothing but positive things to say about how he helped her so many times. I went in to see him for a reading. Not only did he tell me things no one knew about me, he helped me and gave me advice on how to resolve my problems. When he recommended a cleaning, I was a little hesitant, Any doubts I ever had were answered in the following days, when I avoided a run in with the cops, avoided multiple vehicle collisions, and avoided what could have been a bad neck injury. But as time passed things got worse and worse and eventually I knew it was time to go back. I received my cleansing and will never forget the "weight lifted off my shoulder" feeling afterwards. I felt lighter, clear headed, calmer, relaxed and ready to take on anything. After that day, things progressively got better and better, even to this day, 6 months later, I'm still reaping benefits of the cleansing on my life.
Mike isnt some psychic, fortune teller, bruja, or voodoo conartist. You are dealing with something much much more powerful than anything you could even fathom. Your dealing with a religion and a spirituality that skeptics say don't exist. Skeptics are scared of believing in things that are not tangible, or scientifically proven. If you cant go into this open hearted and open minded your wasting your own time. Go have some lame ass card reader tell your gonna have a bad day. You don't have to believe me or anything I have said. But until you see Mike yourself and experience it, don't go badmouthing him or anything he does. Cowards just talk. Its those same Cowards that can't set foot inside his shop bc they are scared of the truth.
He doesnt BS around with you, when he tells you something, he tells you bc he its for your own good. You don't listen thats on you, but once you have been told something, you are no longer ignorant, and God doesn't pity stupid decisions after you've been warned. Seeing Mike was a life changing experience that I will continue to appreciate every day.
If all that aint enough, read through all these damn reviews. You've got to be a fool if you ignore all of these life changing events his clients have experienced and described.
*****All you skeptics, non-beleivers, haterz, whoever, I dare you to see Mike...(that is if he chooses to read you, believe it or not, he doesn't care about money, if he senses an attitude or bad intent about you, he will send you out of his shop with your ego crushed and your tail between your legs...no joke)****

I meet Michael about a year ago at the lowe’st point of my life. My husband had moved out. My business was going down and my home was in the first stage of forecloser. I had no one until a friend had told me about Michael. She said that all of the things she asked of him, he would always help. At that time I had nothing to lose. With one reading, Michael had taken the weight off my shoulders. I was at peace. He said it was going to be hard work on my part too. That I needed to believe and not to give up. I believed in him. I don’t know why but I did. That is just the way he made me feel. A year later, I a’m dating, my job is at its best ever and I got my house out of forecloser. Yes out of forecloser! Michael has always kept up with me. He would call or text me to make sure things were going ok. His wife Yolanda always makes me feel that she knows how I feel and how important it is to set our life in the right path. She makes sure that if you do not understand that she is there too to help. I thank God for sending Michael to us.
