About Jane Burns:

I began my own spiritual practice in the shamanic tradition in 1996 after being diagnosed with cancer. Upon declining recommendations for chemotherapy and radiation treatment, I undertook instead a lengthy spiritual journey in order to heal myself. During that process, I received my first power animal from a spirit guide, and my education in shamanism took root.

I have studied core shamanism and soul retrieval with Sandra Ingerman, Celtic Shamanism and Fairy Doctoring with Tom Cowan. I became a shamanic practitioner in 2003 and a teacher of shamanic journeying in 2005. I am a Celtic Reiki practitioner and also bring to my practice over 20 years of experience in the fields of psychic and medical intuition, energy medicine and past-life regression therapy. I am an active member of the Society for Shamanic Practitioners (SSP) and led a workshop on the Celtic Medicine Wheel at their 2009 annual conference. I am serving as a co-leader for the SSP 2012 East Coast Regional Retreat. I am also a writer and an artist, and am currently at work on a novel with the working title Up a Tree: A Suburban Shaman’s Survival Guide.

"Jane is the kind of person who would be a "Shaman" even if she had never heard of it or trained in any way-- because it is in the core of her true nature. However, it's clear that her talents have been honed by one of the best teachers of all: the experience of her own journey through illness and recovery. Jane is the archetypal "Wounded Healer" who has returned to help others on their healing journey."
