With a background spanning creative arts facilitation, somatic movement, and mindfulness coaching, the founder of Ishtara brings decades of lived and professional experience to every workshop and retreat.

“Like so many women, I became so focused on what needed to be done that I gradually lost touch with the things that brought me joy, sparked my creativity, and made me feel truly connected to myself.

It was through rediscovering movement, creativity, and meaningful connection that I realised how powerful it is to simply slow down, create space, and nurture your own wellbeing. Those experiences reminded me that caring for ourselves isn't a luxury, it's essential.

That realisation became the inspiration for Ishtara Wellness. I wanted to create the kind of space I had been searching for: a place where women could step away from the pressures of everyday life, reconnect with themselves, embrace their creativity, and leave feeling inspired, empowered, and supported.”
