Burton is an extraordinarily gifted and highly sought-after energy medicine healer and wise woman, who has helped thousands of people across the globe. She has helped them radically transform their emotional health and overcome deep-seeded barriers through her systems of energy medicine. With a medical anthropology degree from Oxford, a deep shamanic apprenticeship, as well as completing spiritual and neuroscience-based mind rewiring studies, including with former child soldier Emmanuel Jal, Burton is able to apply spiritual principles in a grounded, practical way for real understanding of the self and change.   Burton is an emotional trauma and sensitivity specialist. She teaches how trauma is created and how to overcome it. Blending intuition with practicality, she guides clients to heal emotional wounds, and teaches them how to process trauma with empathy, how to see sensitivity as a gift, and harness its power to create a life of thriving wellness. Her trademark strategies are about having your thoughts and emotions work with — rather than against — you. Sensitivity shifts from a burden to become a creative superpower.    It is through Burton’s understanding of emotional health, rooted in a fusion of science and a higher understanding, that she has become a popular speaker, podcaster and author. She has been featured on BBC World Service, The Toronto Star, Netflix and The Huffington Post. shellyburton.com@shellyenergymedicine
