Horse Medicine

 
 
Horses teach us a lot about ourselves through their way of being. They get people connected and grounded in their bodies and hearts which is powerful healing.

Shelly is truly gifted. The benefits of one session carried forward to make me feel grounded and in tune with my emotions. She has a calmness that allows you to take a step back from all the craziness that life has to offer and really focus on yourself. Her use of horse healing is a unique feature within her practice that I highly recommend.

Shelly Burton came into my life when I was unable to ignore a pain in my heart, and a voice in my head that was asking me to do more, be better, and to stop denying the dreams and desires I have held quietly and timidly inside me. Shelly and the healing work she is facilitating with her incredible horse Rosa, have helped me remember who I am in a way that I have deeply denied, in a society that asks us to be small and critical.

Where I am scared, Rosa is steadfast and strong. Where I am unkind to myself, Shelly offers unconditional love. To return to such an ancient connection to the earth, and share space with such a magnificent animal is to remember all at once what it’s really like to be alive, and it’s so powerful and perfect.

A day with Shelly and the horses takes you to a whole new level of understanding yourself and your connection to others. Shelly’s guidance, intuition and channeling create a unique form of teaching, along with the extreme sensitivity of our equine friends. You will leave with new insights and a bit of ‘awe’.

I have never had such a profound movement of energy in one sitting - I am awed by the silent power of horses to know, mirror and invite healing. What a sacred blessing and honour to share space with them and come back to myself. My gratitude is immense.

The Horse Medicine Journey is one of the most beautiful experiences my heart has ever felt. The horses are Wise Ones and guided me to enter deep into my heart space so I can connect with theirs. They became my compass, guiding me to understand emotionally where my thoughts of who I AM are in relation to energetically what my body is emitting. Through the loving, compassionate support and guidance of Shelly Burton, I shifted my awareness and focus, and unified the two into alignment. Shelly is the midwife to helping us birth this reawakening and connection to the animal kingdom. Her graceful and kindness made me feel safe and deeply supported. I feel such immense gratitude and appreciation to Shelly for this deep spiritual awareness and growth. She truly is a Medicine Woman and Healer.

I recently experienced an equine therapy session with Caspar (the horse) and Shelly Burton. The experience has not left me since that day. I have been deeply touched by what the horse taught me about being in my power, yet also knowing how to be vulnerable and soft. Caspar is a very big and strong horse who literally had steam coming off his body as he moved around the paddock; then to my surprise, he took all of his strength and dropped down on his back and rolled around like an innocent puppy. It was a sight to behold and so relative to what I am working through on a personal level.
The session would not have been so powerful without Shelly’s presence and guidance. She was so attuned to me and to Caspar. She was able to help me feel safe and also helped me understand the communication that was happening.
I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in their personal development.
Thank you Caspar! Thank you Shelly!

Letting go of things I’ve been carrying a long time and not realizing how heavy and tiring that was. Catching my breath and looking around with a fresh and unburdened or less burdened heart. Big sigh!

I highly recommend the horse medicine experience with Shelly Burton. It was an amazing experience! The horses with Shelly’s facilitation allowed me to see the mirror of myself. Helped to identify and treat blocks that interfere with staying grounded and owning my true self. Shelly has a natural gift-her deep connection with horses and intuition made this experience unforgettable.

Shelly facilitated a beautiful day of nurturing body, mind, heart, and spirit. The horses were wise and generous. Shelly creates a safe space and senses what each being needs. I left feeling lighter and more grounded. I certainly recommend this unique combination of healing modalities.

Dear Shelly, I just want to thank you for yesterday. What a beautifully magical day. A day that has added to my personal and spiritual growth, that helped me to feel more a part of something greater.

It was also a special experience to be witness to other people’s stories and to see the “lights” go on in them, I’m not normally a “group setting” type of person, but I see the value in group work more than ever now.

It was especially inspiring to hear your story and be witness to your power and dream coming together. I’m Grateful that all these horses have found their way back to you and that you have found your calling and are working to making all this happen.

The whole thing is truly magical and inspiring. Thank you, thank you, thank you !!! to you and to Rahul for sharing your gifts and wisdom. Big hugs, much love and thank you to your beautiful herd for sharing their space, hearts and wisdom with us all.
My heart feels full today.

I look forward to learning and working with you in the future.
Much love and gratitude xo

I’ve had the opportunity to go to a workshop with horses with Shelly and it was unreal. She is great at creating and holding space for individuals to allow their heart to open and realize their true knowing. She is doing an amazing job bridging the connection between horses and humans to create beautiful possibilities for their coexistence.
