    "Incredible! Spiritual Blacksmith is so intuitive. I love her philosophies on intuition and connecting with our divine selves. The space she holds in the group ceremony is such a safe and powerful place. I was looking for a space to heal past wounds and truly do the inner work to find my authentic self. The energy in the room and the bond with others in the groups allowed for me to go inward in a very unique way. She supported me in developing my own intuition which ultimately gave me the confidence to step more into my authentic self."

     “I have attended multiple spiritual development classes, workshops, ceremonies, and retreats and have received healings and readings from Spiritual Blacksmith. She is extremely gifted and puts so much love, thoughtfulness, and attention to detail into everything that she does. Just when I'm already so amazed by her offerings, she always add a cherry on top with a little special something that makes me say "omg wow"! I have not experienced anyone else who is providing the level and quality of service as what Spiritual Blacksmith is offering and making very accessible to us. I am so grateful that I've been fortunate to have her be a part of my healing and awakening journey, and as always I look forward to her next offerings.”

    “I have had the privilege of taking several of Spiritual Blacksmith’s yoga classes, and I can say without a doubt that she is a truly gifted instructor. She is professional, reliable, and highly skilled at what she does. Her instruction makes you feel safe and supported physically, while also inspiring you to truly embrace your practice both mentally and spiritually. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to level up their yoga practice- you will not be disappointed!"

Our Roots

A family smiling outdoors after participating in a retreat with The Spiritual Blacksmith Institute of Enlightenment.

The Spiritual Blacksmith Institute was born out of a heartfelt desire to create meaningful change in our community. After three years of running Spiritual Blacksmith, a for-profit spiritual healing and life coaching practice, our founder, Udoka Nwanna, realized that true impact meant focusing on underserved communities—where access to wellness resources is often limited. So in 2019, our non-profit was established to bring wellness resources to those who need them most.

The Visionary Behind Our Mission

Headshot of Udoka, founder of The Spiritual Blacksmith Institute of Enlightenment.

Udoka Nwanna’s journey into wellness began after a successful career as a lawyer and law professor. Although she was raised in the Christian faith, she felt a calling to explore a deeper spiritual path. In 2014, this calling led her to a local Spiritualist church, where she discovered a community that resonated with her evolving beliefs.

Since then, she’s trained extensively, becoming a certified ThetaHealer, Reiki Master, yoga instructor, and meditation teacher, and studying at the Arthur Findlay College for the Advancement of Spiritualism & Psychic Sciences in Stansted, England.

When she's not helping clients align with their soul's purpose, she enjoys volunteering with local charities, playing golf, and traveling the world

"Spiritual Blacksmith is a true healer with a direct connection to the divine.”
