Holistic Coaching for Intentional Aligned living

A Sanctuary for Becoming

Mind · body · heart · lived experience — held in wholeness

In a world that rarely pauses, I offer a space to breathe, reflect, and connect with your inner light. As a coach, I hold space for your truth whether it arrives in clarity or chaos. You are invited to show up exactly as you are —  uncertain, overwhelmed, quiet, or fierce, and the space will hold you in your wholeness and your holiness.

Rooted in the spirit of Ishtar, the ancient goddess of love, power, and becoming, my work honors life as cyclical, embodied, and always unfolding. I offer a spacious, grounded sanctuary that welcomes you in your entirety: mind, body, heart, history, and lived experience.

Whether you feel called to walk a new path or feel stuck at a threshold , together, we will uncover a path that feels intentional, aligned, and rooted in your truth.

Ishtar Coaching is an invitation to remember the power, wisdom, and creativity that already live within you

Ishtar Coaching is named in quiet homage to the ancient goddess Ishtar whose home is my place of origin. She is an archetype of love, power, and transformation, of descent and return, death and becoming.

I do not work with Ishtar as myth or symbol alone, but as a remembering. A whisper. A call to the dormant power and wisdom that already exist within us.

This work is rooted in the belief that we’re already whole; that beneath the noise, conditioning, and fragmentation of modern life, there is a deeper knowing waiting to be reclaimed. Coaching, in this space, is not about fixing or striving, rather remembering, integrating, and living in alignment.

Testimonials

I highly recommend working with Mais if you’re looking to become a more grounded, clear, and intentional version of yourself. She is an extraordinary combination of deep listener, thoughtful mirror, and wise coach.

I’ve worked with Mais over several years, and every session leaves me with more clarity, confidence, and direction. She has a rare ability to be fully present — to hear not just what you’re saying, but what’s underneath it — and then reflect it back in a way that feels both validating and illuminating. Her insights are consistently profound, yet delivered with calm, care, and emotional intelligence.

What truly sets Mais apart is how collaborative and empowering her approach is. She doesn’t tell you what to do; instead, she helps you uncover what feels right and then offers just the right amount of guidance to help you act on it in a way that feels aligned and sustainable.

Mais is a natural, intuitive coach who helps you stay sharp, keep growing, and deepen your understanding of yourself. I am deeply grateful for the work we’ve done together, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.

— Zina , client

Working with Ishtar Coaching has been a highlight of the year. Wrestling with burnout, decreased productivity, and a dysregulated nervous system, change was needed. But I felt stuck in creating change. Three short months later- clarity, refined purpose, and a deeper ownership in all the ways I show up in the world.

Mais is incredibly organized, creative, and an exceptional listener. She didn’t just hear what I was saying; she was able to gently surface what I wasn’t articulating yet and help me make sense of it. This was supported with practical tools, thoughtful resources, and clear boundary frameworks- and the accountability that I need to be successful.

Through coaching with Ishtar, I moved from feeling stuck to feeling clear, confident, and deeply aligned. For me, this was a business investment, but the shift has rippled into my self-care, my home life, my business, and the way I show up in the world. I’m genuinely grateful for the experience and would highly recommend Ishtar Coaching to anyone looking for meaningful, sustainable growth. Absolutely transformative.

Mais is more than a coach - she is a friend, a mentor, a spiritual guide, and an emotional rock. They interweave support, truth, reflection, and guidance in a way that is uniquely tailored to your personal needs and how you want to show up in the coaching relationship. She creates an environment that feels safe but honest and intuitively encourages your growth. Ego has no place in Mais's coaching, either for you or for them, only radical trust. You couldn't ask for a better coach than Mais!
