" I alchemise hypnotherapy with somatic therapy and sexology as our bodies minds and souls are deeply interconnected." Named after Ishtar the Goddess of love beauty justice and power, and Queen Esther in the Christian Bible as powerful defender of the people. I am resident of the Glass house mountains Sunshine Coast. I am an Ex Nurse and Ex student midwife of 2 years. I left the medical system because it frightened and concerned me deeply how quickly and willingly, and also unconsciously, women give their power away to medical professionals. It has always been my dream to support women to empower themselves and to do this as a home birth- birth worker, who has many other tools to support women also. It is my honour to serve my community of powerful women as not only a home birth Doula, but also a clinical Hypnotherapist specialising in grief and loss (misscarriage, abortion and sillbirth) and Birth trauma. 
80% of BIRTHING women experience birth trauma. If that doesn't say that something is wrong with the system them I don't know what will. I alchemise hypnotherapy with somatic therapy and sexology as our bodies minds and souls are deeply interconnected, and this has been proven on many multi levelled clinical trails to date. I work as a witness and a guide, providing tools along the way for you to add to your own toolbelt of life experience and knowledge that you come with. And walk the earth and underworld with you, witness you and support you rising from the depths of the darks as the phoenix you are. Healing from trauma takes courage. It is an honour to support such powerful women. It takes courage to take charge of your reproductive health, pregnancy and birth. Again. I am deeply honoured to support such powerful, creative and strong women. "As women we are the weavers of the future. Nothing exists without us. We are powerful creatressess. "
