Hi, I'm artemisia shine.
Somatic Therapist, Liberation Warrior, Chingona.
(she, her or they, them)
FIERCE LOVE, FREEDOM + JUSTICE
♥,
Give your WILD HEART some love!
Sign up to receive a monthly Freedom Dispatch written directly from one wild heart to another! Your Freedom Dispatch is a radical invitation to love more boldly, embody your wildness and live from unapologetic freedom. I’ll share some of the magic I am up to as I wander with purpose, offering embodied mentorship and somatic therapy online from my remote office to wherever you are in the world! I may highlight some bad-ass change-makers and sometimes I’ll even throw in a fantastic poem or recipe (or two.)
Let’s face it, we all can benefit from a little inspiration.
There is gold in refining your sensitivity, intuition and power.
Somatic Therapy
Re-occupy your body from a place of grounded calm. Reduce disassociation, hypervigilance and stress-system activation. Feel at home in your body. Magnify your sense of aliveness.
Mindfulness Practices
Strengthen or develop “witness consciousness.” Reduce reactivity + increase ability to respond with awareness, presence & choice. Make friends with the whole range of your experience.
Liberation Work
Love yourself into reality. Be who you are and know what you are capable of. Wrest yourself from traditional or institutional models of authority to source or define your power. Become less opressible or controllable.
Mentorship & Intuitive Healing
Catalyze tremendous transformation, healing & growth. Receive loving support. Act as a powerful agent of your destiny. Empower + contain your energy. Bring your intuition, creativity & magic out of the closet.
I'm on fire to work with...
(I've spent thousands of hours working with incredible people like you...)
Traditional & non-traditional healers, empaths, intuitives & highly sensitive people
Find home within. Notice the authentic feedback your body is already sending. Connect with the joy of having a body.
Givers, helpers, social justice warriors, activists, advocates, creatives
Find balance between effort and ease. Move from tired to tireless. Learn when to receive and how to give from fullness.
Seekers, rebels, & change-agents, educators, reluctant leaders
Move with power. Be deliberate. Cultivate your inner fire and listen to the quiet whisper of your instinct. Open to the flow of grace.
Become Friends with Yourself.
You are enthusiastically ready (or let’s be real, on the verge of ready) to:
Explore the depths of your inner terrain to reclaim and heal the parts of you that are disowned and disembodied
Decrease pain, increase hope, down regulate your nervous system and find more moments of grounded calm
Move beyond identifying with your trauma, hurts and fears and feel yourself as magical, strong, connected, purposeful and alive
Cultivate a healthier, more kindhearted relationship with yourself
Gain greater clarity and insight into what consciously & unconsciously drives you
Learn to interpret and compassionately communicate your feelings & needs
Balance your giving with your receiving and nourish healthful boundaries
Build a powerful ally-ship with your body wisdom and establish a foundation of self-trust
Express your creativity, cultivate your intuition and harness your sensitivity for the greater good
Wrest yourself from traditional or institutional models of authority to source or define your power
Dispossess the prison of shame, calibrate your internal compass and abide your inner authority
Sense who you are, what you are doing, and what you want are all in agreement
Recognize your connection with yourself, others and find true belonging
Own the courage to speak with power, honesty & integrity; live your life as an unapologetic expression of your values.
Embody your unique expression, up-level your engagement with the world and profoundly contribute to life
Finally stop asking “Am I ok?” and know for FUCKING CERTAIN: Yes. YES YOU ARE.

Happy clients speak for themselves!
Artemesia is the most gifted counselor I have ever worked with. She is able to take me places in a single session that have taken weeks with other therapists, and reliably facilitates deep insight and lasting change in my life. From relationships, self-esteem, life direction, depression, there’s never been anything that has come up that Artemesia hasn’t been able to help me work with. She’s talented, creative, deeply loving, honest, and dynamic – she can move between treating me like a loving mother to calling my bullshit fiercely and clearly. She’s changed my life! I’d recommend her to anyone.
Porter Eichenlaub
Artemisia is an artist in her craft. From the moment we began our journey I felt immense tenderness, support and understanding from her. In her gentle way she gave me permission to surrender to the process, allowing me to truly open my heart and see myself clearly. Peeling away the layers one at a time, she encouraged vulnerability and honesty from me in a way I had not experienced in long time. The connection I felt to my most authentic self was so palpable, I now feel like I have a tangible place inside myself to live from, and a place to return to if I lose my way. Her insight was genuine and inspired coming from a place of deep listening. In her presence, I was able to uncover truths I had been neglecting, allowing me to move forward a more aware, informed and awakened state. This experience was PRICELESS!
Morgan Cassidy
Artemisia does an amazing job of balancing her radically honest insights with her creation of a safe container where you feel her unconditional love. This allowed me to take bold risks and then scooped me up in her warmth and love when I broke through, got scared, and needed to feel safe. I am more confident in loving others. My love is now more free, relaxed, and greater in scope. She is one of the best role models I have ever had in my life. After working with Artemisia, I can live my life on my own terms in a way that never felt possible before.
Brian Westlander
Artemisia has an incredible powerful presence and razor sharp focus. I am empowered by her attentiveness to my process. I become more focused, more courageous, more efficient and motivated. She leads me thru my defenses towards my own inner wisdom with clarity and understanding. She brings me closer and in deeper connection with myself. Artemisia is the most actualize healer I have ever known.
Allison Lorne
Artemisia is incredibly talented at using multiple ways to help me see and experience both the internal patterns that restrict me and the potential for new ways of being. It is more possible for me to stay in my desired way of being, with less anxiety or complications. I feel more centered and grounded in my life with less concern for the future. In my relationships, I am more free to express things that I was carefully guarding. In my work, I allow my higher self to be more present, and moments of magic to come forth.
Abrah Younger
By harmonizing all five senses, she guides you easily into an altered awareness. She creates a sacred space, where it is much easier to go deep into inner focus and joyous restoration. Her commitment and dedication towards ensuring the experience is healing mind, body, soul, and heart is truly remarkable leaving you feeling a more beautiful you. This woman is certainly a healer and it just takes her smile to see that.
Kyle Wannigman
Healing for me is about re-establishing a relationship with any part that is at dis-ease. Artemisia’s sessions are one of the most affective practices I have utilized to evoke this personal relationship. She has helped me literally take my heart and throw it onto a canvas. Through this work, I am seeing my heart for what it truly is, divine. This process is a personal one, but I have great hopes of it inspiring others to explore and connect with their own heart space. I am grateful to have such a powerful healer by my side.
Jessica Albee
Artemisia is very adept at surrendering and allowing these wise energies to take shape and meaning though her with ease. Artemisia effortlessly feels through the silky stands of colors, words, images, and experiences and gently combs them into form. After a session with Artemisia you can walk away feeling like you are a big Yes! Yes! I am beautiful. Yes! I am contributing to the world. Yes! It is good to be me. Yes! It is good to shine.
Maya Cooper
I feel I am in direct communication with my soul everyday, however never have I had the experience of hearing its voice so clearly and with such clarity as I did with Artemisia. It has brought such certainty and powerful grounding to my life where once my guide had been trust and faith… now I move forward with confidence and strength feeling the conviction of my path in this world. Artemisia is a vessel of truth and a light in the darkness. Wisdom is such a powerful tool, and she wields it with such Grace and humility!
