Below are testimonies from several of my wonderful students!
"Aemen is a teacher with embodied wisdom and obviously lots of experience who conveys her information in a storytelling fashion that is delightful to listen to and also easy to understand. In the class , Life Changing Herbs for Stress and Anxiety, my understanding of the properties of herbs was enhanced as well as my desire to deep in my relationship with our plant allies. I feel stronger in my ability to be in reciprocal relationship with herbs to build my resilience and capacities.
looking forward to tomorrow. thank you 🙏

"After my first astrology reading with Aemen, I was able to finally understand not just my astrology chart, but so much more of why I act, react, and feel the way I do. This empowered me to finally begin taking the steps towards owning my own full time business.
Four years later (with my business is now supporting me 100%!), I continue to book a yearly astrology appointment with Aemen. The time I spend with her feels like a super boost of confidence, clarity, and excitement for who I have become, and the year ahead.

"This course far exceeded my expectations. I was able to truly connect with the herbs in a spiritual way through Aemens teachings about them. It was as if she was a conduit for the herbs so I could deeply understand them, begin a relationship with them. It is quite magical.
Aemen has an easy, joyful way of leading and instructing students through her tapestry of wisdoms. She engages you, leaving you fully immersed in beautiful plant teachings.
I was inspired to work with Motherwort. I found it to be so heart opening and soothing. Especially when coupled with Oat Straw. It takes me on a deep journey within.
I will recommend my loved ones and friends take this course to feel empowered to heal themselves through the beautiful plant kingdom. Aemen makes the information beautifully accessible. Her enthusiasm and joy are compelling. She is more than generous with her time and wisdom.
Thank you so much for all that you do and all that you are.

"What you've done in this class has been so beyond an herb information class and it's kind of hard to articulate fully but I will try :)
I have taken what felt like every herb in the world for my own anxiety/mental health in the past. I always wanted a healthy, less codependent alternative to medication so I would google things, go to whole foods, herb shops, and even many kinds of practitioners for years and years.
Many have helped in small different ways but it kind of felt like nothing really totally worked. I liked the concept of plant medicine and really wanted them to work for me but the connection just wasn't really happening. It also felt like all this stuff was so outside of me- like I had to go to the experts, and kind of try things semi blindly and hope something would work.
But what you did in this class was almost on a different dimension than all my previous experience with herbs. It was like you were making these genuine, loving introductions as opposed to saying "this herb is indicated for this". Which not only makes it so much more interesting to learn about, but it also feels like the only way to truly understand, connect to, and work with herbs. It was like you were not just teaching about herbs, but more like creating a space to authentically connect with them. It feels like they aren't meant to be seen in a flat problem/solution kind of lens and only in context of our problems, and by seeing them for who and what they truly are we are actually able to connect to them rightly and well.
I got so many different herbs in their loose form since this class started and every time they come I'm super excited. I used to take herbs purely like a task to solve something and now I'm more like "ooh I wonder what this one will be like." And I feel so cool making my own tinctures and things haha. And if something works not much or just a little, I can kind of feel and understand what's happening more for myself as opposed to making these disconnected judgements and conclusions based on a very specific expectation. I understand more how all these things have to do with where I am at, how the herb is interacting with me, and also kind of feel and discern how to take these things for myself and what my body needs outside of like a textbook way things are supposed to go.
I feel so empowered after learning in this way to find my own relationship with herbs and now I have the tools and knowledge- and it also really goes beyond that to more of an awareness.
I love the way you speak about all the herbs in a way that truly captures their personalities which you can never really get from reading a book or learning about them in regular frameworks. I think it's something so underrated to see/understand in this way especially with herbs which I had always seen as plants through a scientific lens and I think many people do. And I think the magic of them just really isn't there in that kind of space. It's kind of like the things you can't prove or touch like true essence and personality are often not talked about or stressed but it's also where everything of importance really is. Like where everything is alive and connected.
Anyway I really am so grateful to have stumbled upon and taken this class, it was so loved and valued and so didn't feel like a class in the best possible way.
Thank you <3

"I have thoroughly enjoyed all of the courses and trainings I’ve received from Aemen at Artemis Rising. She is a fantastic teacher and very thorough in explaining herbs and their benefits. Her classes are fun and engaging and I have learned so much. I have been experimenting with herbs for several years now and as a health coach who focuses on trauma healing, I feel more confident in working with herbs to help support healing from stress & anxiety. Thank you!
Sincerely,

"I honestly didn't know what to expect, but I loved how it was organized into Mind, Body, Spirit as it really helped me reconnect to all of those and see where I needed to be nourished.
I love how down to earth and in your own experience you are. I love when you go off on tangents and tell stories/myths. I love learning the history/ meaning behind things. I loved learning that there is so much I can be doing to help myself. I am at a time when I was feeling incredibly helpless and like there was not hope for my physical condition, but your class helped me see just what a wide range of support there is.
My healing feals so much more expansive because of this!
Thank you!

I truly loved this class. I've been studying herbal medicine in my spare time for a couple of years now, and I chose to take this course because it sounded like a great way to refresh and expand my knowledge about these herbs, as well as give me more tools to support people around me.
And also because I've really enjoyed the few classes that I've taken with you in the past - you're an amazing teacher and I love how you weave together the physical, spiritual, and emotional aspects and benefits of the various plants.
I knew I was going to learn a lot with you, and I did- every class was amazing, and I looked forward to each of them.
One of the biggest things I got from this course though was that as much as I thought I was taking it so I could help others, I realized how much I needed the support of some of these herbs right now as well. I don't tend to think of myself as an overly anxious person, but I think it's because I've been coping with stress and anxiety for so long, it's on a sort of low burn in my life, and I'm not always conscious that it's there...
This class was a great reminder of how important it is for me to tend to myself as well, and as a result, I've been working with Motherwort again. It feels really good to have her support right now. Thank you so much for sharing your time and knowledge with us, and I'm looking forward to any other classes you might decide to offer.
Seriously thank you. I really did enjoy the class- it was a great way to spend the past three Saturdays.
