“My session with Shelly was truly transformative. Due to life conditioning I had some really ingrained stuck places about my deep unforgivable flaws. So much shame for so long. When Shelly channeled the beautiful energies all around us and communicated them through her presence, I felt that this must be what it feels like when you die and go to heaven. I haven’t always believed that unconditional love really exists especially in our dimension and that you’d have to wait til you pass on to feel it.

After my session, I had one of those major AHA moments, “So THIS is what unconditional love feels like!” I am loved, I can deeply love myself, I can feel this in my daily life here on Earth and I don’t have to wait for the end.

My session was over a month ago and I still feel the benefits in my bones.

“Experiencing Shelly’s healing gifts has had a profound impact on my health and life. Shelly is a special soul whose intuition and abilities always manage to tap into exactly what I need in addition to my intention for each session. Our times together are full of moving energy, clearing blocks, clarity, inspiration and divine magic. I always leave the sessions feeling lighter than when I arrived. The ‘work’ continues for days after as I usually continue to feel shifts within. Shelly has helped me address so many areas of my life during our time together. Everything from healing relationships (romantic, family, friends) to work/career to overall life intentions. Shelly played an instrumental role in empowering me to step fully into my next chapter as a holistic health practitioner which included her creating a script based on my intentions which strengthened my subconscious. She also guided me in setting boundaries in my corporate job which allowed me to recognize when it was time to resign. There is so much that I could say - I highly recommend Shelly. I will definitely continue sessions with Shelly as the wisdom I’ve received from within, healing, confidence and self love have been more impactful and lasting than any other energy work, therapists, healers & coaches. Plus - Shelly is an absolute gem of a human to spend time with!”

“The Power of Shelly

I was fortunate enough to do a cacao ceremony with Shelly and after receiving her energy felt called to do an one on one session of healing with her. Shelly is extremely caring, and unique in her healing abilities but she’s also witty and super smart. I feel more at peace in my body and Shelly was able to help me release past trauma that I have been holding onto for over 25 years. I would highly recommend working with her.

“Shelly Burton is an INCREDIBLE healer. I have struggled with my mental health since I was 13, and have been hospitalized 10 times since 2014 for issues that have manifested in mental health diagnosis such as OCD, BPD and bipolar disorder. I have had major issues with low self esteem fluctuating between thinking I’m a terrible person to feeling like I have nothing to offer the world, intrusive thoughts, issues with eating, psychosis, impulse control issues, and feeling completely manic. Nothing in the field of psychology has been able to help me to the full extent so far.⁠
⁠
I had a spiritual revelation and recently and turned to inner child healing and the accumulation of micro-trauma healing. I had amazing results from Shelly before and decided to call her. She has helped me work through many of my issues, get in touch with my inner child, forgive myself for things that I have done when unwell, find my light, and work through my pain. Shelly uses spiritual guides, hands on healing, and also mantras that one can internalize for themselves. She knew things about me that she couldn’t possibly have known without feeling my energy. ⁠
⁠
It was an incredibly powerful experience, and I’ve never felt so at peace with myself in my life. All of my symptoms seem to be under control now. I also know that I am a highly sensitive person, and there is nothing wrong with that. ⁠
⁠
I would recommend Shelly to anyone who is struggling.”

“I flew to Costa Rica to work with Shelly. From her beautiful room I saw the jungle outside the window, and we worked together to heal my deepest traumas. I am a changed person after that trip, no longer as triggered or fearful in my old patterns. After I left, I continued to evolve and transform. It was life changing.”

“Healing I Never Knew I Needed

Working with Shelly is like returning home...to yourself! I always look for opportunities to reinforce my personal connection to the Divine and I was thrilled when I crossed Shelly’s path. Literally, I crossed her path as I visited the Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort. On a whim, I booked an appointment with Shelly without really knowing what I wanted or needed. After one session with Shelly, together, we were able to release old emotions that were being held in my physical body and reveal subtle unconscious blocks that were simmering in my energetic layer. Walking away from our time together, my body felt so expansive and open. My mental state was filled with a peace and calm that I can pull forward still today. Like synchronicity, the discoveries revealed in our one session presented again and again even after I re-entered daily life. I’m writing this review about a month after our time together and I can still feel the relief in my body, mind and Spirit. I treasure Shelly and her amazing gifts. I look forward to spending more time with her in the near future. I highly recommend Shelly to anyone looking for guidance in their growth and self-awakening and self-realization. Love and gratitude for all she does to share her gifts with the world.”

“ Shelly is truly amazing. I have had many sessions with Shelly since the Spring of 2020. Her incredible insight, wisdom, her loving and positive energy, her connection with Spirit (or the universe, if you prefer) is a magical combination which gives her the unique ability to reach in to the heart of whatever is troubling you or weighing down your life. She provides patient direction, intelligent support and love, and a beautiful healing experience. All of my discussions with Shelly have been restorative and life-altering.
If you are deliberating or unsure about a direction in your life, she is the guiding light you seek.”

“Shelly is beyond beautiful, gifted, and compassionate. Her abilities are limitless and she champions your healing and growth in such a loving and supportive way. I would highly recommend session work with Shelly to deeply clear old pain and patterns, and start to understand the deepest parts of yourself to unlock your potential to live and love to your fullest. ”

“ I’ve had many spiritual, energy healing sessions in the past with various practitioners in the city of Toronto, but my experience with Shelly tops them all. I booked my private sessions to resolve or let go of a previous relationship and figure out how to move on. I had so many questions and was hoping to find answers from my guides because I felt a big change was about to happen. I never imagined that I had the answers and resolutions to my own questions and problems all along. It took some deep searching into my consciousness, but what I was able to take away from my sessions gave me the power to make real changes in my life in order to move forward. These changes were in areas of my life that I did not realize had anything to do with my previous relationship. I felt my mental restrictions fall away and a sense of relief and joy has replaced my depression. Thanks to Shelly’s sophisticated craft and compassionate demeanour, I’m currently working towards creating a better life for myself that is more aligned with my soul and, I never thought I would have to say this, but I’m learning to love myself.”

“Psychic protection for an empath

My well of energy has been restored - all due to Shelly’s guidance and expertise.
Shelly helped me clear and balance a longstanding sister issue. I was crying at the drop of a hat after a recent phone call to my sister. Shelly helped me to see what had happened and how to fix it. When something like this happens to me, my business slows down. Both of my hips ached as well. After a 1 hour session with Shelly, my hips no longer ache and the business phone is busier and my crying has cleared. I now have a plan on how to maintain my energy and stay balanced and in the flow thanks to Shelly.

Shelly helped me get to the core of the sister problem and assisted in helping me heal my heart in the process. Being an empath, I was taking all of this negative energy in due to a simple friendly phone call on my part. Shelly taught me how to rebalance myself for the present and for the future.”

“ Shelly helped me “wake up”.

I felt like I was growing before seeing Shelly. I had been mediating, journaling and doing yoga on a regular basis, and felt a little more at peace compared to how I felt in the later half of 2018. I still couldn’t completely shake off the “fuzz” that blurred my vision, and the beliefs I held about myself.

I had a vague idea of what kind of woman I wanted to be, but felt so insecure. I couldn’t connect with my inner Goddess. I felt too afraid of exposing my vulnerabilities. I felt like my past traumas made me weak. I didn’t feel my power - both professionally, and sexually.

It was so easy to fall back into old habits, and underestimate myself.

It was so easy to listen to the voice inside my head, and think I wasn’t worthy.

It was so easy to think that my boyfriend was better than me, and that I couldn’t please him (even after being together for 5 and a half years).

Until I started working with Shelly.

During my first session, I cried. Shelly did some shadow work and helped me clear some past traumas, and helped me talk to my past self - the girl who was going through those hard times, and had a hard time forgiving herself. During that session, she helped me find my power, which I didn’t realize until I got home and wrote a letter to myself. It was the kind of writing where there was no logic. I opened my computer, and my fingers typed away. She helped me bring my personal power to light.

In my second session, we did some work in my hips. She helped me wake up the sexual Goddess that lives within me, but that I had dismissed due to a slightly negative relationship with sex, that was created due to terrible and unwelcome experiences, a lack of belief in myself, and the beliefs that society “imposed” on me growing up - i.e. if I had sex, I was deemed a slut; if I had sex, I might get pregnant, and that’s bad. While I didn’t believe those ideas, they were repeated so often as I was growing up, that my subconscious attached itself to them, and that dimmed my Goddess.

Until Shelly helped clear that energy, and continued to remind me how powerful I am.

During my third and last session with Shelly, I felt...amazing. We spent the first half hour clearing up my vision for my purpose. Then she deemed I was graduated, and refunded me the remaining time, which was unreal.


I love Shelly. She’s one of the kindest spirits I have met in my entire life, and helped me come such a long way (in just 3 sessions, which I can’t believe). I can’t recommend her enough. She is so worth the investment in yourself, and will help you come such a long way.”

“Being an energy healer myself I was excited about my session with Shelly. Amazing and totally supported is how I felt. Shelly is intuitive, compassionate and “spot on” when it came to focusing, clearing and facilitating a deep family pattern that I had been carrying my whole life. A day later I’m more balanced than I have ever been. Thank you Shelly you have a profound gift.”

“Shelly is a strong and gentle force of nature, an intuitive, like grandmother moon. She is a natural healer and medicine woman that I’ve had the pleasure of working with. After my one hour session with her, what occurred over the course of the next week shifted the focus of my life, realigning my heart, purpose and values. I’ve attended many of her women circles and always return home feeling more grounded and connected, to my higher purpose. I love you sweet sister, so grateful to know you! ❤️”

“ I am someone who is no stranger to talk therapy, but I was looking for a new approach to healing when my yoga studio introduced my to Shelly. Sessions are transformative and productive and are guided by her intuitive and sensitive nature to core issues. This means there is less time “explaining” and more time healing and reorganizing. I am so grateful for Shelly in my life, what a blessing.”

“In my last 2 sessions with Shelly I have shifted so much. I feel lighter, more aware and have been busy taking action with my business which I’ve been really stuck with. It’s like the fear has just vanished and I can’t wait to get started! Thank you so much Shelly for sharing your loving light and guidance. ”

“Two appointments and a third to go and I feel a weight has been removed from my mind and body. Shelly is authentic, open and a natural healer. Her holistic approach is what I needed in my life!”

“I did not come in as a believer in reiki – indeed, I’m a neuroscientist. A family member had gone to see Shelly and raved and raved about it, so I was curious to try. In fact, I was blown away. Shelly is the real deal. I can’t explain how it works, but her hands are simply magic. I had more release in the one hour session with Shelly then I’ve had in ages of therapy. I walked out standing taller, feeling freer, and much more control of the issues in my life. I returned for a 2nd time and had even more relief.”

“I experienced [Shelly’s] work myself, and I was truly blown away – no Reiki done on me before seemed to be any close to what I’ve felt and realized and cleaned up with Shelly. She’s both a powerful woman and an angelic being and also a very clean channel. And as I’ve always wanted to study it, knowing that who you study it from is a very important thing, I was very happy when she agreed to teach a course.”

“Few Reiki practitioners that I have worked with have had the unique ability to see past the structure, to go beyond the simple ailments of the body and to find the underlying causes, both spiritual and emotional. I am pleased to say that Shelly is one of those rare practitioners who is capable of ground-breaking work. Not only do I feel better, but I am also more aware of my triggers, the underlying issues that breed in my spiritual, emotional, and physical bodies, and have been able to make peace with some of them. I feel confident that the work Shelly has done, and will continue to do with me is a step towards my true healing.”

“Shelly is a Master Teacher/Healer. She is also an example of the Universal Human we are all in the process of becoming. It has been through her own experience of healing that she brings reiki to humanity. A map for the conscious individual ready for the journey to wholeness, soul integration and connection to source.”

“Shelly is a deeply gifted and compassionate healer. Not only does she embody all that she practices, but she has created a wonderful space for sharing her healing gifts with those fortunate enough to cross paths with her. I have experienced other types of reiki treatments in the past but none as comprehensive and diverse. I am very grateful to be working with Shelly and am very much looking forward to future sessions with her. ”

“Distance Reiki sessions with Shelly have a really great flow to them. In just hearing her voice I feel more relaxed, aware and in-tune with my presence on Earth. This particular session focused mostly on my desire to feel un-stuck and go out into the world to share my work with others - the session encouraged me to step out of my bubble, talk to people, and share the work I do. With her gentle voice and relaxed vibe, I was encouraged to share what I was feeling. Through the session she, through her channeled wisdom, breath work, distance reiki and drumming, encouraged me to go deeper and see that it is the fear within myself that is holding me back. Each session with Shelly is an eye-opening experience, and I am so happy I found her to heal me.”

“Doing Reiki with Shelly has helped my body and mind to heal in ways I could not imagine was possible! Her approach is gentle, loving, and she’s extremely knowledgeable, making me feel relaxed and like I’m in good hands. I highly recommend Reiki with Shelly to anyone who’s stressed out, has certain physical ailments, or is just looking to get a spiritual cleanse from time to time. Your body, spirit and mind will thank you afterwards! :)”

“Shelly Burton has been an incredible source of support, healing, guidance and growth for me. I started out receiving energy sessions, and soon found myself getting my first level reiki traning, and now working towards my level 2. Her care to Samhara Reiki, her clients, students and herself is evident and it is a true joy to work and learn alongside her. Her space is inviting and warm. Working with Shelly is your next step to knowing yourself and caring for yourself on a deeper level :)”

“After a couple of Reiki sessions with Shelly right away I noticed she has found her calling. The session she offered guided me safely to powerful places within where I could feel real shifts happening. Shelly held such a beautiful presence of divine lightness, love, and joy, while remaining very grounded and professional as I journeyed into deep parts of myself. Shelly is a rare gem! She is a guide I trust and I am looking forward to returning.
”

“I met Shelly randomly at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2012. I was immediately attracted to her openness and honesty. While I returned back to New York City, we started to form a professional and personal relationship over Skype. While sharing our thoughts on film and Africa quite frequently, we started to talk about a world beyond beyond. One day, we had the splendid idea to do Reiki over Skype. I’ve done Reiki plenty of times before, but never long distance. I had absolutely no expectation to experience anything. After the forty-five minute session, I felt undeniably renewed and lighter. We went through the various points of my body together and it was spooky, how we felt the same things. Nevertheless, Shelly had the intuition and expertise to tell me about specific situations in my life, I never shared with her. She allowed me to understand others and myself just a little bit better and to simply let it all go. For that, I am forever grateful.”

“I was somewhat skeptical about the sounding technique that Shelly uses. When I finally did try it though, had great results. It took me to places locked up in me from childhood and allowed me to verbalize them. Had some great releases. Thanks, Shelly.”

“Shelly was a great channeler for me, she helped me to reconnect with my inner self and brought me messages of love and wisdom. I am very grateful for the beautiful experience I had with Reiki with Shelly, and I am excited for the next sessions I have with her. She is very compassionate and loving, I am thankful to have her in my life! Blessings!!
”

“Thank you for helping me understand what I can’t change. I am grateful for the experience of working with Shelly. I had been experiencing an extremely difficult time dealing with a suicidal son, and Shelly was able to translate and explain his behaviour so that I can accept it’s not my fault or responsibility to try and fix it. So many changes have taken place since my 3 sessions and I am extremely grateful.”

“As a student of life, my curiosity to connect with my personal truths brought me to Shelly. In just 2 sessions, I surrendered my mind, body & soul to be Shelly’s student. I learned how to strip away the layers from my childhood, broken relationships and unshakeable pain to meet my true self with courageous open arms. Today I am in sheer acceptance of myself and those I share personal & professional relationships, with a balanced asking and allowing ratio. Working with Shelly has empowered my arsenal with a sharpened sense of self confidence & contagious happiness! I did my homework to come into alignment which feels good with absolute certainty. I’m creating my legacy of happiness and inheritance of love. I continue to work on energy alignment because feeling good is a daily crescendo that demands my attention and invites others to rise to meet me where I feel safe, respected and loved. Thank you Shelly!!!”

“I’ve had several sessions with Shelly. There’s always an immediate experience of calm and joy and the weeks and even months later, there’s a slow unfurling of deeply held tensions. It’s all very gentle and my sense of self empowerment keeps getting stronger. Thank you!”
