Our Story

The Heart Of Ishtara

Ishtara was born from a belief that too many women are running on empty – disconnected from their creativity, their bodies, and their sense of self.

"I believe every woman carries within her a capacity for joy that no circumstance can permanently extinguish."

MEET THE FOUNDER

A Guide Who Has Walked the Path

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.

After experiencing burnout in her late thirties, she embarked on a deep journey of self-discovery — exploring dance, creativity, meditation, and community. What she found changed everything.

She created Ishtara to share what she learned: that joy is not something you find out there. It's something you uncover, here, in the quiet wisdom of your own body and heart.

WHAT WE STAND FOR

Our Core Values

Authenticity

We honour the unique journey of every woman and create spaces where there is no pressure to be anyone other than yourself, allowing you to show up with honesty, courage, and self-compassion.

Joy

Joy is more than a fleeting emotion, it is a way of living. Through movement, laughter, creativity, and shared experiences, we celebrate the simple moments that uplift the spirit and restore energy.

Connection

By fostering genuine relationships, with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us, we create a sense of belonging, support, and community where every woman feels seen, valued, and accepted.

Empowerment

We believe every woman already possesses the strength, wisdom, and resilience she needs. Our role is not to change who you are, but to help you rediscover the confidence that has always been within you.
