Nicole Cameron, Independent Licensed Ishtara Teacher
Meet Nicole
I am a seeker. I am a woman. I am a wife. I am a sister. I am an aunt. I am a coach. I am a guide. I am a dancer. And above all… I am devoted to remembering what it means to fully belong to myself.
As a little girl, I often asked myself, “Why am I here?” Even at four years old, I carried a deep awareness that life held something more.
While the adults around me were navigating pain, trauma, rupture, and uncertainty, I quietly became a seeker — searching for safety, meaning, love, and understanding.
When my family began to erupt around me, I created an invisible friend named “Little Girl.” She became my refuge. Together we escaped into the sanctuary of the body — dancing, singing, playing in the sandbox, smelling lilacs in bloom, and finding moments of beauty amidst chaos.
Inside the home there was sadness, fear, anger, addiction, abandonment, and loss.
But inside the body… there was still life.
As my family changed and dismantled over and over again, I learned how to survive by reinventing myself. Over time, I lost connection to the deepest parts of me — my body, my softness, my knowing, my sense of home within myself.
Like many women, I became highly functioning while silently carrying grief, trauma, heartbreak, and disconnection beneath the surface.
Then, in the summer of 2022, Ishtara found me.
Something inside my body immediately responded before my mind could understand why. Through the guidance of a dear friend and teacher, I felt myself being called into something ancient, familiar, and profoundly healing. By December, I was enrolled.
And little by little… my body began remembering.
Remembering safety.
Remembering softness.
Remembering sensation.
Remembering joy.
Remembering the little girl who once danced freely among the lilacs.
Through Ishtara, I finally allowed myself to acknowledge the layers I had carried for years — grief, perimenopause, divorce, miscarriage, abandonment, addiction, fear, anger, sadness, and the exhaustion of surviving.
Practice by practice, dance by dance, I discovered that healing was not about fixing myself.
It was about returning to myself.
Ishtara became a homecoming.
Today, my work is devoted to helping women reconnect to the wisdom, truth, and resilience already living inside them.
I bring over 17 years of coaching experience alongside my own lived journey through recovery, reinvention, healing, and feminine becoming.
Women often tell me they feel deeply safe, seen, and emotionally held in my presence.
That is the space I intend to create.
A space where you no longer have to perform, override yourself, or carry everything alone.
A space where your body is welcomed back into the conversation.
A space where healing becomes less about striving… and more about remembering who you truly are.
Finally, I understand why I’m here.
I’m here to guide.
To witness.
To love.
To teach.
To hold.
To dance.
To remind women they were never broken.
Thank you, Ishtara, for welcoming me home.
It is an honor to walk beside every woman who feels the call to remember who she came here to be.
