Shamanic Healing on the Gold Coast

Shamanic healing, brought to the Gold Coast

If you've searched "shamanic healing Gold Coast" or "shamanic healer near me" and come up short, that tracks — there isn't a deep bench of established practitioners in the region. Andrew Edmonds isn't Gold-Coast based; he's a Peru-trained Tabaquero working out of La Tierra Curativa, his permaculture property on the Central Coast NSW, who travels to the Gold Coast on a regular touring schedule to bring the same sessions he holds at home directly to people here. This page explains what a session involves and how to book one when he's next in town.

What a session with Andrew involves

A shamanic healing session draws on the traditions Andrew trained in through his time in Peru. Depending on what you're bringing to the session, it can include chanting and icaros (traditional medicine songs), drumming, smoke-clearing, rapéh (sacred snuff) and chakapa (leaf-rattle) work, with Reiki woven through and a grounding drum journey to close. Every session opens and closes with conversation, so the work is held and properly integrated rather than left open when you walk out the door.

Two threads come up often in sessions: entity clearing — for people who feel weighed down by something that doesn't feel like their own, a heaviness or a sense of being drained, which shamanic work can help clear — and soul retrieval, gentle work that invites fragmented, withdrawn parts of yourself home after trauma. Soul retrieval is usually spread across more than one session, at a pace that's safe for you. You don't need to know in advance which of these (if either) is relevant — the opening conversation is where that gets worked out together.

An established practitioner, new to the region

Andrew's home practice at La Tierra Curativa on the Central Coast NSW carries a 5.0★ rating from 25 Google reviews on his Central Coast Google Business Profile, and he's worked with plant-medicine ceremony since 2018 as a PACFA-registered counsellor alongside his shamanic training. Very little of that depth currently exists as a standing local option on the Gold Coast — his touring sessions bring an established, credentialed practice to a region that hasn't had one nearby.

How the touring model works

Andrew holds session dates on the Gold Coast on a regular but not daily basis, alongside his Central Coast base and his Sydney touring dates. Because dates are periodic rather than an always-on clinic, the best way to book is to reach out directly — by phone, email or the contact form — and he'll confirm the next Gold Coast dates and find a session time that works for you. Every enquiry starts with a short conversation before anything is booked, so you can ask questions and make sure the timing and the work are the right fit.

Who comes to a shamanic healing session

People come to see Andrew on the Gold Coast for the same reasons people travel to the Central Coast base: to clear a heaviness that's been sitting with them, to ground and reset a nervous system that's been running hot, to grieve, or simply to reconnect with themselves after a period of disconnection. You don't need prior experience with shamanic or ceremony work — most people haven't done anything like it before, and everything is explained as you go.

Beyond a one-to-one session

If a one-to-one healing session isn't quite what you're after, or you'd like the fuller ceremony experience, Mapacho tobacco ceremony is held at La Tierra Curativa on the Central Coast NSW, with the option to stay overnight and properly integrate. You can also read more about shamanic healing at the Central Coast base for the full picture of how sessions run there. And if you've already done ceremony or plant-medicine work elsewhere and are looking to process it, that's a different offering — see ceremony integration & preparation support on the Gold Coast.
