Somatic Healing Coach, LMT

The first time I got coached, I was bracing. I was ashamed to tell my story, especially after working so hard to heal past it. Then I cried, and one sentence from my coach dissolved a pattern I'd been stuck in. Nothing fell apart. Something let go.

I'm a highly sensitive person, and I'm intensely private, so I know how much a first session can feel like a risk. That's why I work the way I do. You don't walk in with your whole story prepared. You give me enough context to know what to work with...

The first time I got coached, I was bracing. I was ashamed to tell my story, especially after working so hard to heal past it. Then I cried, and one sentence from my coach dissolved a pattern I'd been stuck in. Nothing fell apart. Something let go.

I'm a highly sensitive person, and I'm intensely private, so I know how much a first session can feel like a risk. That's why I work the way I do. You don't walk in with your whole story prepared. You give me enough context to know what to work with. I listen closely to the words and phrases you use, because they show me your patterns. And we go at the pace your body says is right, every time.

This approach came from my own healing. I've spent over 25 years learning how it works, through two master's degrees, 30+ certifications in NLP and somatic modalities, and hundreds of hours with real people. I see clients in person at Embodied Healing Center in Melbourne, FL.

If you're not sure you're ready, start with a 15-minute Clarity Call. We'll look at what you want, what's been in the way, and the best path forward. You decide what happens next.

Bodywork

Zen Thai Massage

In 2006 I took my first 18 hour specialty course.

Wellness

Holistic Stress Management

One of my first coaching certification, I first learned this in 2004 to help myself. From here, I continued to focus heavily on behavior management techniques to improve mind, body and spirit. This naturally led to understanding the mind-body connection and led to hypnotherapy and NLP coaching.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork, Wellness, or Coaching services

This was my first visit and I was impressed with Shandra's gentle treatment of my problem areas. Didn't feel any improvement initially but later that day got energy to do a small workout and take 40 min walk which lately hasn't happened very often.

Shandra Artura has skills that are not seen very often to solve unique issues with the person being treated. The atmosphere of the room is soothing and has the ambience to make the entire experience a one of a kind.

Shandra always reviews with me what it is I am in need of.

I was nervous going into this but Shandra made me feel very comfortable right from the beginning. She is a beautiful person. At the end of my session she did some sound therapy that I found amazing and that I want to experience again. Definitely recommend her if your looking for someone to help you on your journey

My visit with Shandra was above my expectations. Sandra was professional and demonstrated exceptional knowledge in her field. My first session helped me identify and begin to release feelings I have repressed for a very long time. If you have been seeking a path to feel wellness in your life, I suggest trying Embodied Healing. ❤️

Shandra is one-of-a-kind! She is a beautiful soul who is extremely talented! Shandra has helped me with so many issues, most recently brain trauma due to a bad fall. Thru Craniosacral Treatment she was able to alleviate head pressure and most of the dizziness I had been suffering with, for many weeks! Love her! She is awesome!
