What Is The Ishtara Method
Nervous System Mastery for High-Achieving Women
You can understand your patterns and still override yourself in real time.
You can know your history and still say yes when you mean no.
That’s because emotional self-abandonment isn’t a mindset issue.
It’s a nervous system adaptation.
The Ishtara Method
The Ishtara Method is a structured, 12-week training program in nervous system mastery.
It is a method-based, guided training that teaches you how to recalibrate conditioned emotional responses at the level of the body — where patterns actually live.
This is not a class you attend.
This is a practice you are trained in.
A repeatable, personalized process you learn, apply, and integrate into your real life.
This Is Not Catharsis
This is not about emotional release for the sake of release.
This is precision training in how to:
• Interrupt automatic patterns
• Regulate your nervous system under pressure
• Stay with yourself in moments you used to abandon yourself
All within a calm, structured, small-group environment designed for depth, safety, and real change.
Why Insight Isn’t Enough
High-achieving women are exceptional at insight.
You’ve done therapy.
Read the books.
Understood the pattern.
And still — under pressure — your system defaults to:
• Over-responsibility
• Emotional suppression
• Conflict avoidance
• Numbing (wine, scrolling, checking out)
• Quiet resentment
This isn’t a failure of willpower.
It’s conditioning.
And conditioning requires retraining — not more understanding.
What You Are Trained To Do
Inside this program, you are trained in nervous system mastery:
• Stay regulated during difficult conversations
• Hold boundaries without collapse or over-explaining
• Feel stress without numbing or escaping
• Interrupt over-functioning in real time
• Make decisions from internal authority — not pressure
You don’t become someone new.
You become internally steady, self-led, and reliable to yourself.

Create lasting changes in the way you feel, act, and relate with our proven body based method called the Ishtara® Method.
A peak in at my personal private practice.
Ishtara® Method
The attuned embodied response, unique to Ishtara®, is a deeply personalized method that allows you to work with your own patterns. Instead of ridding emotions, memories, or parts of yourself, Ishtara® focuses on completing these elements to form new patterns.
While most embodied methods release stored energy in the body to shift between different vagal states, this typically resolves only the energy, not the underlying pattern. In contrast, Ishtara combines two polyvagal states in response to one another, fostering the creation of new patterns in how you feel, act, and relate. This approach leads to the completion of patterns rooted in your past or present experiences.
By learning Ishtara’s® Method—Return, Respond, and Rise—you’ll have a simple, effective practice that takes 15 minutes or less.
"How do I begin to explain what Ishtara has done for me and my life? How do I capture one of the most pivotal moments of my existence?
I didn’t find Ishtara—Ishtara found me. Before I even knew what it was, my body had already begun guiding me to move and release through music. I would engage in this practice here and there throughout my healing journey, but only in moments of full-blown crisis—never as a preventative or permanent healing modality.
Then, I heard a podcast where Nicole shared how Ishtara had transformed her life after a long road of healing. I was immediately hooked.
From the very first class, my soul returned home to my body. Within the container of Ishtara, guided by Nicole, I experienced an indescribable sense of safety—something I had never felt before. From that moment on, my connection to both the practice and to Nicole only deepened as I alchemized decades of trauma and pain.
Nicole was instrumental in my healing, intuitively reading my body and knowing exactly how to guide me—through her framing, song choices, and the powerful presence she holds within her own skin.
I am forever grateful to Nicole for bringing me home to myself.
Thank you beyond words." Meg Rossi
