EP 29 Health, Illness and Spirituality with Emma Turton

Emma Turton is a medical intuitive with a health professional background and the founder of the Medical Intuition School, a pioneer space where science meets spirituality. I have interviewed Emma Turton many times, in particular for the True Spirituality Summit in July 2023. In this interview, however, she answered questions I had never asked her before. We started off with her spiritual beliefs, which she articulated in a great deal of nuance, all leaning towards inclusivity. I asked her what propelled her on the path she is on and she shared the first experience that she could not explain with her scientific background: when she knew her fiance had cancer without knowing how she knew. She was brave enough to tell him and nag him until he had himself checked by a doctor. His form of cancer is not one that is usually detected until it is "too late", so even the medical community who supported their journey was surprised at what was happening. Emma, even though to humble to brag about, literally saved his life. Although not discussed in the interview itself, I also know that she saved her father's life too. And yet, after such a glorious example of medical intuition in action, she worked very hard to forget as much about it as she could because she did not have the framework to work around it. I can relate to that, as I experienced the same thing. As a lawyer, I was not equipped to deal with the power of intuition and resisted it for many years. I asked Emma what would she say to someone who has been told that their illness is a punishment for something they have done in this life or a past life. Her answer was exactly what I expected: reassuring yet shining a light on the toxicity of some spiritual beliefs such as karma, when misunderstood. We discussed which is more important on our healing journey: nutrition or emotion, which Emma is qualified to discuss as her background is in physiotherapy and nutrition. We also discussed the illnesses that spiritual people are more likely to face. Along the way, we also touched upon the very real belief that old age means illness and how that can set expectations that work against our health and wellbeing. We, of course, also discussed how her Medical Intuition School can support you either in your personal health journey or if you want to become a medical intuitive, which can be done regardless of whether you have a medical background or not, or if you are psychic or not.
