Frequently Asked Questions
A few things people often want to know before their first session — or before joining The Deerheart Atrium. Can’t find your answer here? Email support@ishtardeerheart.com and I’ll reply personally within 48 hours.
Getting Started
Book directly through the online calendar on the Work With Me page — choose your session, date and time, and you’re set. Not sure where to start? Email me a little about what’s going on for you and I’ll point you to the session that fits.
No experience needed. Sessions are guided step by step, whether it’s your first time exploring this work or you’ve been on this path for years.
Trust the pull:
- Feeling the inner knowing but can’t quite name it? → Soul Signature Illumination
- Same painful pattern looping? → The Recast
- Body holding pain or tension? → Tension Release Massage
- Exhaustion, sleep issues, hormonal rhythms off? → Glandular Reset Reflexology
- Relationship dynamics repeating? → Relationship Pattern Reading
Still unsure? Email me — there’s no wrong door.
Sessions & What to Expect
Every session begins with breath, to settle your system and open the channel. From there it’s specific to the offering. Full details for each session are on the Work With Me page.
Come as you are. Wear something comfortable, find a quiet space if you’re on Zoom, and set aside a few minutes afterward to notice how you feel rather than rushing into your next task.
Sessions run 60 minutes . All Zoom sessions include a recording so you can revisit the guidance later.
That’s welcome here. This work sits at the crossing point of clinical and spiritual — you don’t need to arrive as a believer, just curious and open to what shows up.
Zoom vs In-Person
Soul Signature Illumination, The Recast, and Relationship Pattern Reading are held over Zoom, available worldwide. Tension Release Massage and Glandular Reset Reflexology are hands-on and available in person in Hastings, Hawke’s Bay only.
Yes. The Zoom sessions are held with clients worldwide, so distance isn’t a barrier to the soul and pattern work.
Pricing & Payment
Individual sessions range from $135–$199 NZD depending on length and type. Current pricing for each session is listed on the Work With Me page.
Life happens. Give 48 hours’ notice to reschedule or cancel for a full refund. No-shows or late cancellations are non-refundable. Email support@ishtardeerheart.com as soon as you know and we’ll sort out the best option together.
Please arrive on time (or log into Zoom a few minutes early) — sessions run to schedule and can’t extend for late arrivals, out of respect for the client booked after you.
The Deerheart Atrium (Membership)
1:1 sessions are deep, personalised dives into your specific patterns right now. The Deerheart Atrium is your monthly home — live teachings, frequency activations, apothecary wisdom, and community. It’s the rhythm that helps the insights integrate into daily life over time. Many people do both.
Core is $67 NZD— founding membership rates, locked in for as long as you stay. Membership includes one live teaching night, one live Q&A night, a pre-recorded frequency activation, the Apothecary Note, a private member portal and growing library, and community connection. Full terms are on The Deerheart Atrium page.
Live sessions are held over Zoom on Saturday evenings at 7pm NZT, with recordings available if you can’t make it live. Membership is open to seekers worldwide.
Working With Ishtar
Most paths stay on one side — either clinical or spiritual. I stand at the bridge. As a naturopath with 15+ years in practice and a lifelong clairvoyant channel, I translate what your nervous system and glands are signalling and what your soul already knows, so your patterns stop feeling random and start becoming information you can use.
This is for you if you’ve done the inner work, read the books, been to the retreats — yet something still feels missing or stuck. You’re sensing a deeper pull in your health, relationships, creative expression, or purpose, and you’re ready to stop managing symptoms and start reading the language your body and soul speak together. Whether you’re in Hastings, Hawke’s Bay or anywhere in the world.
No — this work complements, rather than replaces, care from your doctor or other health professionals. It is not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. If you feel you have medical or psychological problem, it is your responsibility to consult an appropriate health care provider of your understanding and choosing.
Ishtar holds a Bachelor of Natural Medicine and trained as a Medical Herbalist, Nutritionist, Certified Reflexologist, and Master Energy Healer, alongside a Diploma in Therapeutic Massage — sitting alongside 15+ years as a clairvoyant and spiritual naturopath. Read the full story on the About page.
