Shamanic Healing, Energy Medicine, Animist Spiritual Guidance, Andean-Based Ceremonial Support
Welcome… I’m Celia Blackwood, a shamanic practitioner, teacher, and animist guide based in Tucson, Arizona. I offer private healing sessions, spiritual mentorship, ceremonial training, and the Sacred Garden for Spirit Folk… a community sanctuary for those called to a deeper relationship with Spirit, the land, and the animate world.
" I would like to take your hands for a moment and assure you that you are built well for these times. Despite your stints of doubt, your frustrations in arighting all that needs change right now, or even feeling you have lost the map entirely, you are not without resource, you are not alone."
— Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Hello Dear One
There are times in life when the old ways of moving through the world no longer fit… and something deeper begins to call.
You may be moving through a threshold, a season of grief, awakening, confusion, healing, or remembering. You may be longing for greater clarity, stronger roots, spiritual companionship, or a more grounded relationship with the unseen dimensions of life.
My work is here to support that unfolding.
Through shamanic healing, animist spiritual practice, ceremonial work, nervous system awareness, ancestral healing, and Andean-informed pathways of relationship, I help people listen more deeply to the wisdom of the soul, the body, the land, and the Spirit World.
This site is dedicated to the personal healing journey we each undertake as we follow our dreams and create healing on a planetary scale.

My name is Celia Blackwood, and I am here to offer you support, encouragement, and love... especially during the moments of greatest change and transition along your life's path.
I've been following the paths and trails of the Animate Spirit World for over 30 years, a journey that has been both challenging and rewarding. For 15 of those years, I've facilitated healing ceremonies for clients. I'm a Reiki Master and practitioner of Shamanism. My purpose and intention for this lifetime is to facilitate the awakening and unfolding of awareness, healing, growth, and love for each and every soul I encounter along my own journey of awakening. I believe that we are drawn to one another for this purpose and have the capacity to co-create powerful change in our lives and for Pachamama - our Mother Earth.
If you are in or approaching a time of transition or change... if you are experiencing a challenging health problem... if you are looking for encouragement and support to follow your life's path... Contact me. There is a reason you are here.

A Grounded Path of Practice
For over 30 years, I have walked a path of shamanic, animist, and healing practice. My practice has been shaped by decades of study, direct experience with private clients and students, and an ongoing personal relationship with Q’ero Paqos and teachers in the high Andes of Peru.
My work draws from a wide range of lineages, master teachers, and modalities, including core shamanic healing, Reiki and energy medicine, ancestral healing, compassionate depossession and spirit release work, trauma-sensitive and nervous-system-aware approaches, Internal Family Systems-informed perspectives, nature-based spirituality, ritual practice, and Andean ceremonial traditions.
Over time, my practice has become less about applying techniques…
and more about cultivating right relationship.
Right relationship with the body.
Right relationship with the soul.
Right relationship with the land.
Right relationship with Spirit.
Right relationship with what is ready to heal, return, soften, or come into form.
This work is not about bypassing real life.
It is about entering life more honestly, more reverently, and more wholly.

THE SACRED GARDEN FOR SPIRIT FOLK

What is unique about this work?
There are many forms of healing support available today. What I offer is rooted in a way of being that is relational, intuitive, and deeply respectful of the mysteries involved in healing and transformation.
My practice is guided by several core values:
Reverence
Healing is not something to force. It is something to approach with humility, patience, and care.
Relationship
Transformation happens in relationship… with self, with others, with the land, with ancestors, with Spirit, and with the unseen dimensions of life.
Discernment
Not everything that is spiritual is wise. Grounding, ethics, and clear perception matter.
Integration
Insight alone is not enough. Real healing asks to be embodied in the nervous system, in daily life, in choices, in boundaries, and in how we live.
Reciprocity
Healing is not only personal. It ripples outward into community, belonging, and our relationship with the larger field of life.
