Shamanic Healing in Sydney

Shamanic healing, brought to Sydney

If you've searched "shamanic healing Sydney" or "shamanic healer near me," you've probably found either a handful of Sydney-based practitioners or very little at all. Andrew Edmonds isn't Sydney-based — he's a Peru-trained Tabaquero working out of La Tierra Curativa, his permaculture property on the Central Coast NSW, who travels to Sydney on a regular touring schedule to bring the same sessions he holds at home directly to people here. If you're in Sydney and looking for this kind of work, this page explains what a session involves and how the travelling model works.

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a sense of being drained, which shamanic work can help clear — and soul retrieval, gentle work that invites fragmented, withdrawn parts of yourself home after trauma.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 — that's part of what the opening conversation is for.

Why a mobile practitioner, not a Sydney clinic

Sydney already has established shamanic practitioners, and this page isn't here to talk you out of working with someone local if that's the right fit for you. What Andrew offers is different in shape rather than in competition: his home base is La Tierra Curativa, a permaculture property at Ourimbah on the Central Coast, where the fuller ceremony work — including Mapacho tobacco ceremony — is held with accommodation on site. His Sydney sessions carry that same ceremony-trained approach and the same one-to-one care, brought to you on a touring basis rather than delivered from a fixed city studio. If you'd prefer the fuller ceremony experience — including the option to stay overnight — Central Coast sessions and Mapacho ceremony at La Tierra Curativa remain available any time.

How the touring model works

Andrew holds session dates in Sydney on a regular but not daily basis, alongside his Central Coast base and his Gold Coast 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 Sydney 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 travel to see Andrew in Sydney for the same reasons people come 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.

A trusted, established practice

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 — the same practitioner, the same training and the same care travel with him to Sydney. He is a PACFA-registered counsellor alongside his shamanic training, and has worked with plant-medicine ceremony since 2018.

If a one-to-one healing session isn't quite what you're after, you may also want to look at shamanic healing at the Central Coast base, or Mapacho tobacco ceremony, held at La Tierra Curativa with the option to stay overnight. 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 in Sydney.
