Energy Medicine
"Ishtaro" embodies the essence of her Assyrian roots, merging her name Sharo with the divine Assyrian deity Ishtar. Her journey into sacred medicine was kindled by the wisdom of her grandmother, Deena, an Assyrian medicine woman, and her sister, Helen BetGivargis founder of Acupuncture Tree of Life. Ishtaro is a graduate of the Light Body School of Medicine, guided by the esteemed Dr. Alberto Velodo and Marcela Lobos. In early 2019, she immersed herself in a transformative experience of the Medicine Wheel in Joshua Tree, CA, where she received 13 rites and now walks the path as a Mesa Carrying Shaman.
Ishtaro's lineage weaves together the threads of the Anunnaki, Mesopotamians, Assyrians, Persians, and Indigenous Peoples, grounding her identity as a "Person of Global Majority" and "West Asian."
She serves as a sacred conduit for healing, creating safe spaces where her clients can release traumas and embark on new paths through ritual. Her passion lies in guiding individuals toward evolving into Homo-luminous beings, ready to embrace the rising energies of the Sacred Feminine and Masculine, as the Earth calls for transformation.
Instinctive Meditation
Ishtaro is currently undertaking a 200-hour meditation training course, journeying towards becoming a certified meditation facilitator and teacher. Her approach to meditation, known as Instinctive Meditation, diverges from the conventional. It's a profound invitation to listen to the body, honor instincts, and gracefully flow with the inner currents of being.
Embodied Movement Therapy
Since 2016, Ishtaro has been immersed in the teachings of Banafsheh Sayyad, a Sufi Mystic and dancer. She is on a transformative path to becoming a certified Dance of Oneness teacher, offering clients an embodied movement practice for daily self-healing.
Qigong
Trained and guided by Roger Jahnke OMD and The Institute of Integral Qigong & Tai Chi, Ishtaro is a certified "Healer Within Medical Qigong" practice leader.
Flower Essence Therapy
Ishtaro is currently training in the art of using flower essences as plant medicine with her clients. She is pursuing certification as a Flower Essence Practitioner with Oceans & Rivers Acupuncture under the mentorship of Lindsay Fauntleroy, L.Ac.
Co-counseling
For over three decades, Ishtaro has actively participated in an international community of co-counselors in Re-Evaluation Counseling. She has led workshops, taught classes, and participated in international conferences, including the Fourth World Conference on Women in 1991 in Beijing, China.
This is a journey of healing, transformation, and profound connection. Join Ishtaro on this sacred path towards luminosity and wholeness.
