holly burgess: shamanic channel | healer | teacher

 Holly Burgess is a seasoned intuitive channel, master-level healer, and cross-cultural shamanic teacher.

Her call by Spirit started as a young child. Her earliest memory of using her gifts was when she was just 3 years old. She heard a strong but safe-sounding voice say "MOVE!" and as she listened to this instruction, a light fixture fell right where she would have been sitting. This experience caused her to continue to move with Spirit. She grew up in church and her gifts were always present whenever she was connecting with the divine...including prophetic messages, natural healing methods, and speaking in tongues (also known as light language). Throughout her life, she went through seasons of developing her gifts but also seasons of suppressing them until she found peace with who she is.

Her initiation into the shamanic path, which had been present throughout her lifetime in subtler ways, sped up about 10 years ago. During her decade of shedding, internally and externally, she was called into shamanic training, first through a year-long cross-cultural medicine wheel focused primarily on the practices found in South America and North America. Knowing there was more to the story, she continued to study the ancient practices of every other continent. Shamanic practices (a common label for humanity's innate ways of connecting with something deeper than ourselves) are quite similar culture-to-culture so she found parts of herself in each lineage but resonated deepest with the practices of the Essenes, Celts, and Christian Mystics before the constructs of religion took hold.

She went on to hone her path as a healer by teaching others. She trained hundreds of students in shamanic practice ranging from the souls who showed up for her journey meditation classes to the 13 women she led through her cross-cultural medicine wheel training and certification program. It is during these years that she discovered the depths of her own heart by witnessing humanity in all of its expressions. Her practice went on to receive several awards for serving the community and she was asked on many occasions to speak, facilitate, and teach in partnership with prestigious organizations and healing centers.

Today, she lives a simple life in the always auspicious city of Savannah, Georgia in union with her partner of 18 years and their two dogs Spring & Autumn who they lovingly call "The Equinox Sisters" as a reminder that divine light and darkness exist in an intentional balance. When she's not serving clients or exploring the city, you'll find her immersed in the Georgian jungle on the nearby barrier islands or traveling so she can hear the heartbeat of Mother Earth clearer and clearer.

She offers ceremony, initiation, and apprenticeship, both in-person and online, to those who are called to her work but she does not use social media or other marketing methods. Instead, she relies entirely on Spirit to create the conditions that will allow the right souls to find her. If you are reading this right now, you have been led here.
