Intuitive coach, sound healer and shamanic practitioner rooted in embodied presence.
Hi, I'm Kerry Walton, from Oakworth in Yorkshire
My journey to finding this important work happened by trusting the process when a number of things in my life seemed to be falling apart.
I spent over thirty years in corporate finance coaching, mentoring and managing people. A vastly different industry to where I am now, but it showed me what it is that I love to do in the world, and that is to help people develop resilience and realise their worth.
In that corporate world, people still needed to be held. I held space for everyone I worked with, giving them the opportunity to safely negotiate key operational and contractual matters with ease and calm. Somewhere throughout the process of helping others find their way, I realised that I’d lost my own path, and I desperately needed to find my way back to myself again.
This pivotal moment marked the beginning of my personal journey towards the creation of This Liberating Life.
This work of unpacking and finding myself (because, it really has been work and I did need to unpack all of the gungy stuff that was stuck) began with the Donna Lancaster Deepening into Life Programme. This is aimed at helping people strengthen and develop a greater spiritual foundation for life.
It was the catalyst for my subsequent learning quest and the thirst for new knowledge to better understand myself and the world around me. What followed (and continues to unfold to this day) was the study of many different subjects I found appealing, interesting and
intriguing.
Meditation, yoga, tarot, astrology, grief work, mythology, ayurveda, healing work, breathwork, philosophy, psychology… the list goes on.
…And somewhere in there, I even found time to co-author a book. My life has changed tremendously, and in the absolute best ways possible. I have not a single regret and can only hope that I will be able to help you feel the same.
Why work with me?
Choosing who to work with is personal.
Whether you’re seeking sound healing, intuitive coaching or shamanic work, it’s important that it feels aligned in your body.
My work is shaped by lived experience, the path I’ve walked and deep training in shamanic healing & sound therapy. I meet your energy — or the energy of the group — with presence and depth.
I hold a steady, non-judgemental space where you can soften enough to be real.
In that safety, healing and self-regulation begin naturally.
My way of working won’t be the same as anyone else’s. It’s intuitive, responsive and rooted in presence. I trust what emerges in the room — and I trust that you will receive what you need from the session.
Much of my work now takes place in The Medicine Room, Haworth — a dedicated, intimate space designed to support deeper listening and embodied work.
“Kerry oozes wisdom and passion for her practice and with her warm, open hearted approach you instantly feel at ease. I recently received an energy healing from Kerry and although it can sometimes be hard to put your finger on what you would like to shift or/and receive Kerry's ability to help you find your own answers is a gift. Thank you Kerry for sharing your gift with me.”

My work is grounded in both lived experience and formal training.
Through shamanic healing and sound therapy, I’ve come to understand how deeply these practices can move us — and how important it is to be held with care when we enter vulnerable spaces.
I draw on other approaches as needed to support you through whatever unfolds.
