Orit Bornstein: Senior Teaching Assistant

Orit's journey into energy healing began when she realized that contrary to her previous training as a physical therapist, true healing occurs at the level of the energy field which permeates the physical body.

She embarked on the path of energy medicine in 1997 with the Integrative Manual Therapy Association. In 2004 she began her studies of CranioSacral Therapy with The Upledger Institute and has been practicing that modality since then. She has also studied with a Reiki Master teacher, and has been attuned to Reiki Master level.

Orit's life shifted profoundly when she was introduced to the Munay-Ki, the nine initiation rites of the Inka lineage. That lead to studying shamanic healing with the Light Body School of The Four Winds Society, and subsequently to assisting with the Inka Medicine Wheel.

Orit is a full Mesa carrier in the lineage of the Q'ero shamans of Peru, and a graduate of the Healing The Light Body School of The Four Winds Society. She is dedicated to creating space for others to connect to their healed self by stepping onto the Shamanic path. She offers healing sessions utilizing Shamanic Medicine tools such as Illumination, Extraction, Soul Retrieval, Chakra and Luminous Energy Field Cleansing, and Despacho Healing Ceremonies. She also hosts regular Munay-Ki gatherings in Agoura Hils, California.   E-mail her at: born2light@roadrunner.com

Celia Blackwood: Lead Teacher

Celia is a gifted healer and teacher. She has practiced as a Birth Doula for 15 years, is a Reiki Master, Psychopomp, and a Master Shamanic Practitioner. Celia has been initiated into the ancient Inca lineage of Earthkeepers and Lightbody healers directly transmitted by the Q'ero shamans from the high Andes in Peru, and through her studies with the Light Body School of The Four Winds Society.

In her work she acknowledges that dis-ease comes through disengagement from our internal source of wellness which is our Soul. Our Soul is our connection to Oneness and when what we do is in accord with Oneness we are healthy. When our way-of-life is in discord with Oneness, dis-ease follows. By using shamanic techniques and guidance from helping spirits she connects seekers to this inner spring and help to clear the patterns and blockages that may have caused the disconnection.

Celia resides in Tucson, Arizona, where she offers healing services as well as regular community fire ceremonies and a wide variety of classes. She can be contacted at celia@heartstonehealing.com or visit www.heartstonehealing.com
