 WELCOME TO THE
HEALER'S JOURNEY!
Hi! I’m Emily, Certified Clinical Herbalist, Nutritionist, and Director & Founder of the
Artemisia Academy of Herbal Arts & Healing. I started the Artemisia Academy to help
herbal enthusiasts just like you make waves of healing change in their own lives &
local communities!

Through my healing journey, I learned that in order to truly help those around you,
you have to heal yourself by filling up your own cup FIRST! That's why I've put
together this self-care assessment for healers to help you learn how to become a
"healed healer" and heal yourself FIRST.

In t his self-car e q u i z , y o u w i ll l e a r n :
What areas you're ROCKIN in your life, or what you are doing well in,
How to get back in balance in your self-care habits,
Where you need to focus in your own healing to not get overwhelmed,
How much energy you should put out or really be spending on others, and
Steps to prioritize your own healing FIRST this year.

Looking forward to helping you along your healer's journey!!
