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, soul retrieval, and shamanic teacher training with Sandra Ingerman, Celtic Shamanism and Faery Doctoring with Tom Cowan. I became a shamanic practitioner in 2005 and a teacher of shamanic journeying in 2007. I am a Celtic Reiki Master 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. As an active member of the Society for Shamanic Practice (SSP), I led a workshop on the Celtic Medicine Wheel at their 2009 Annual Conference and co-led their 2012 East Coast Regional Retreat, and currently serve on the editorial board of the SSP Journal. I became a member of the Shift Network Faculty in 2019. My book, Up a Tree: A Novel and Shamanic Handbook, is available on Amazon.com.


“Jane Burns is a remarkable shamanic teacher and writer. Her clarity, the depth of her wisdom and experiences is such a guiding force for anyone looking for spiritual tools to navigate the changing world we are living in. Anyone who takes a course with Jane Burns or reads her work will receive practices and a spiritual foundation to reconnect with oneself, nature, and all of life. Jane’s teaching is truly brilliant.”

–Sandra Ingerman, MA, awarded author of 12 books on shamanism including The Book of Ceremony, and an internationally renowned teacher of shamanism.
