About
Ishtara is a science-supported, body-based method of moving meditation designed to create new patterns in the way you feel, act, and relate.
Most healing methods try to fix you, change you, or help you get rid of difficult feelings. But this only keeps us in cycles of more fixing.
Here's our truth: You are not broken. Your feelings are not problems. Your patterns are not a problem. Your body is not a problem. Your body is the solution.
In Ishtara, healing happens as a result of completing patterns at the source, your body, in a way that is safe and loving.
"What surprised me most was how much my body held the wisdom I was seeking. Through this work, I learned to trust my intuition and listen to what my body was telling me. That shift alone has been life-changing."
- Brandi M.
Return to Your Body and
Rise in Your Life
Return and Release
We return to the body and safely move and release our emotions in order to access their gifts. We transform sadness into love, fear into intuition, anger into passion, and shame into worth.
Repair and Rewire
We repair our pasts by meeting the underlying needs of our patterns through breath, movement, and sensation. As we complete these patterns, we rewrite the old stories that live in our bodies and show up in our lives.
Rise and Reclaim
We rise in our lives as we create new patterns that allow us to and experience more love, power, and freedom. We reclaim a truer sense of who we are as we restore all parts of our selves back into wholeness.

"As I learned how to regulate and process emotions through my body, I could literally feel something changing, like I was lighter, clearer, and actually rewiring old patterns instead of just trying to let them go. The ripple effects have been so beautiful. My kids communicate their needs more, and it feels like they trust me with more of their inner world now. It’s wild how much everyone else shifts when we shift first."
- Bethany P.
