Ishtara Teaching
I started practicing a somatic healing technique with movement and music called Ishtara Body Alchemy in 2021. This technique was so helpful to me on so many levels that I felt compelled to share. I became a Licensed Ishtara© Teacher in 2023. This was unexpected. 🧡 Ishtara reconnected me to my body wisdom and cranked open my heart. I would love to share it with you if you are keen!
As a lot of us know, our body keeps the score. I believe the world needs us with our hearts and bodies at total capacity.

“I will be forever grateful for Ishtara with Amy.
My growth in confidence, intuition, and healing has been remarkable and it’s all due to the safety and support Amy creates in class. It’s like she breathed life into my tired soul.”
– Kari

Pricing
NEW PRICING MODEL for Body Alchemy and Body Trinity Classes:
A STRETCH SCALE: $500 - $800
To meet these precarious times and to make this work more accessible, I’m offering a new sliding scale.
Please read before you register:
What I have learned from personal experience is that when people stretch and invest, their body takes the cue and they go deeper. The return on investment is higher for them.
Stretch is a language the body understands. Your body will take you deeper, your experience will be more expansive, and your ‘return on investment’ will be richer.
If $500 is too stretchy/not accessible to you at this time, please reach out! My teacher worked with me when I was starting out, and I’m more than happy to do the same for you.
If you live in the Twin Cities or are being affected by ICE, special discounts are available.
To reserve a spot or for more information, please reach out using the form below.
