Ishtar Mera

Ishtar is the reason superlatives entered our language.

I went in hoping to have time stop, and my consciousness split open, and to feel literally ALL of the things, having been feeling like I hadn't been feeling very much at all lately. But I felt shy about saying, "My goal for today is to have time stop, and to have my consciousness split open, and to feel literally ALL of the things," because it seemed like that might be putting too much of a fixed expectation on a precious moment of discovery, where one should ultimately probably enter the experience with an open mind, and not try to overly prescribe stuff like time stoppage and consciousness splitting.

So I asked her to guide the experience.

And despite not asking for it...here I am, trying to describe in a comment box the experience of time stopping, and my consciousness splitting open, and feeling literally ALL of the things.

She is magic. Her love and attention are magic. And then some. And I am profoundly grateful to her.

I had the most extraordinary experience with Ishtar at the Temple of Bliss. From the moment I arrived, I felt enveloped in a serene and welcoming atmosphere. Ishtar’s energy was warm, grounding, and intuitive, creating a safe and sacred space for the session.

I opted for the Kundalini Body of Bliss, and it was nothing short of magical. Ishtar’s touch was deeply attuned, flowing seamlessly to release tension while awakening a profound sense of peace and vitality within me. The entire session felt like a journey—a beautiful dance of energy that left me feeling rejuvenated, balanced, and incredibly connected to myself.

This was not just a massage but a transformative experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Ishtar to anyone seeking more than just physical relaxation—her work transcends the ordinary and takes you to a place of true bliss. I will absolutely be returning for another session!

This was my first session with Ishtar and am glad to have connected with her. I came in with a lot of tension from the day but her calm aura and charm soothed me into an eased head and body space. She made sure to understand where I was mentally and emotionally before we went into practice. I received very grounded and pragmatic advice which I now practice just about every day (appreciate it, Ishtar!) Starting things off that way says so much of how caring and thoughtful she is as a master healer.

Her touch is off the charts. When she gets in her element, she will showcase her expansive repertoire of sensations and artistically nurturing patterns. I literally experienced a five-course meal of therapeutic bliss. Let her cook!

I'm still in total awe after my session with Ishtar. The sound meditation she curated for me was honestly magical, and believe me when I say I'm not using the word lightly. It helped me become fully present and make the best of the beautiful tantric ritual that followed. Thank you so very much Ishtar, what a beautiful gift you are to the world!

Each time I remember the time I spent with Goddess Ishtar I cannot help but smile from ear to ear. It was such an unforgettable moment. Ishtar is so loving and accepting and genuinely wants to help and heal you. I felt each intention through her fingertips. Ishtar, I cannot thank you enough for giving me so much attention and healing. I absolutely cannot wait to see you again.

I had an amazing doubles session with Ishtar and Vajra, by far my best experience at any temple thus far. Their energy and touch was amazing. Run to either of them, and sprint to the opportunity for a doubles session with them.

The soothing, yet activating vibration she guides you on is a mesmerizing journey of pure bliss.

In the top tier of deeply nurturing and skilled Temple Therapists. My massage was strong, loving and relaxing.

I hesitate to share my experience because I still want to be able to get appointments with Ishtar after this, but I may as well tell the truth: Ishtar embodies the essence of what this work is actually all about. This is not just massage, bodywork, or therapy - or at least not merely that. Ishtar opens a gateway to the experience of total acceptance, unconditional love, and a heart connection beyond the personal. Imagine you are a fetus in the womb, but on psilocybin at the same time. Or you have woken up in the sacred temple of Babylon, where bliss is about transcendence.

Ishtar has tapped into a profound vein of wisdom and a bottomless well of compassion to create an experience where your most profoundly buried trauma can be metabolized, where whoever you actually came here to be is acknowledged and celebrated, and where you remember that life is so very worth living for moments like these.

Ishtar moves between goddesses, effortlessly embodying different archetypes appropriate to whatever may be transpiring. This is more than mere physical beauty. It is a generosity of soul, a willingness to exchange the most vital energy, and a confident mastery moving between the sacred, the spiritual and personal.

I met with Ishtar for the first time after a long separation from Tantra. The joy and excitement for life that she expressed in her bio warmly drew me in.And upon meeting this beautiful Goddess , the
lightness of her spirit gently lifted me and melted away any anxiety I was feeling. One of her many healing skills is her mastery of sound meditation baths.This was my first experience with this discipline, and I will request it for every session I have from now on. As she began to play the brilliant brass bowls placed on and around my body ,the vibrations flowed deeply within my consciousness. I surrendered to this dynamic flow of energy and soon I was moving my body in an indescribable fashion.For me, the experience was that she was playing my body, I had become her instrument.To be with this blessed teacher in the safe space of her peaceful practice was a gift from the Angels.

I met Ishtar during a doubles session and was enlightened by her kindness and patience to my story. This last week I was having a really tough week where I met with another therapist but decided to book with Ishtar a couple days later. This session with her left me speechless. I felt like the impurities in my body were melting and releasing with every breath. I’ve dealt with congestion and allergies my whole life and basking in the deep breaths I was able to take all the way home. Could not recommend her enough!

I came to this from a place of therapy, with a desire to heal some old wounds. I had a lot of concerns going into it, but Ishtar was extremely patient, open, and welcoming. I felt like I could really let go. She helped me understand some things about myself and my journey, and I am eternally grateful.

Ishtar was my first tantrika in July. Months later I explored with her again, she having just returned from Burning Man. I think she was more open than ever, flowing with joy, care, ease, and sensuality. My time with her was so mind-blowing, it's hard to know what to say. She is grace, breath, form, formlessness, Eros, Agape, and connection. Can't stop reliving the experience. Wow. Many, many thanks for her expertise and kindness.

Ishtar, I think she came from a different planet! Saying that she’s amazing is an understatement. This is my first session and I was contemplating choosing between 90 mins and 3 hours and I’m so glad I went with 3 hours. She pays so much attention to what you want out of the session I felt so rejuvenated at the end of session and already looking up to see when I can see her again.

Ishtar wasn’t good…..SHE WAS GREAT! What an awesome dakini. I will be back

For those who don’t know, Ishtar is the name of the Babylonian goddess of love. Ishtar Mera lives up to her namesake. Upon meeting Ishtar, I knew I could be honest with my intentions as I felt safe asking her what healing I needed. She recommended an amazing sound therapy that truly felt like my chakra points were opening up and flowing more rapidly. I reached a state of bliss it felt like a lot of negative energy was being expunged from my body. Ishtar is a beautiful human being, and the connection you build with her will leave you in awe.

i had not seen ishtar in a while but recently reconnected and wow she has grown into the most amazing masseuse
she is so incredibly tuned into your body i was completely melting and i’m a total state of bliss will not be waiting so long next time before i see her

My experience with Ishtar was very pleasant. She is sweet, friendly, and personable. You could tell that she is an advanced practitioner for a reason. I wish I had more time to experience her sound therapy, but I’ll make sure to do that next time she’s in town. Thank you Ishtar for catering to my needs.

I had an amazing session with Ishtar in November when she was visiting NYC, and was happy to know how easily she understood the importance of spiritual/mental healing that so many others oftentimes disregard as genuine. As always, I was able to reinterpret some of the breathing rituals and physical connecting into my own personal life in ways that really do improve how I see or feel in a different light. Plus, Ishtar's got a cool vibe—it was like chatting with a friend before and after our session.

Healing that goes beyond all expectations! 



Remarkable, Stunning, Divine, and Passionate.


Ishtar is a powerful and beautiful healer.

Her beauty and presence is breathtaking and unforgettable.

We connected over the topic of music/sound and it was woven throughout the session.

Her gift of healing through sound made me visualize auditory senses into ripples of positive energy that radiated though me. Metaphorically, I became the wave, and the ocean.

Her attentiveness goes beyond her touch and provided me with a spiritual awakening. It was an out-of-body experience guided by the warmth of love and heartfelt comfort.

This is my first session with Ishtar, and I’m extremely grateful/blessed to share a moment with her.



Filled with so much gratitude, I left inspired to share that love with you all and encourage anyone to open your heart for her healing! Let her be your guide in uncovering your deepest truths!

I walked in to a session with Ishtar as a stranger holding a lot of baggage. She offered space, warmth, and a transcendent experience. Through breathing together, sharing intentions, sound bath healing, and dropped-in, intuitive, goddess-level touch, Ishtar provided genuine healing and opening. In this a first experience with her, I felt truly held and taken care of in a way that surprised and delighted. What a damn blessing. Truly therapeutic, attentive to my needs, and explosive with beauty. hell yes.

Hands down one of best massages of my life. My feet and calves were rejuvenated. Not to mention her inviting personality and gorgeous smile. Once meeting her, I was hypnotized by her beautiful eyes. After connecting souls, I experienced her gentle yet strong touch that relaxed every muscle in my body. I can't say anymore how perfect my session was with her. Note this took place in August and well overdue of a raving review. Can't wait to experience more with her again.

Ishtar was welcoming, communicative, and warm. As a first time guest, she provided a very relaxing experience, using a variety of techniques. She’s knowledgeable, beautiful, and skilled - highly recommend.

Ishtar is beautiful, inside and out. Her eyes pierce you and rejuvenate your soul. She has a gentle touch and knows how to heal you from deep inside. She understands your needs and works with you to achieve them. Her presence exudes kindness, warmth and love. Her touch is magical. I will definitely book another session with her.

Ishtar put me at ease from the moment that I walked through the door. She is a beautiful woman with a fantastic presence. I asked for transcendence and she delivered! I’m still tingling and I expect that the afterglow off my tantric session will last for a while.

Ishtar is more beautiful in person. A true goddess and her energy and embrace, Her eyes are beautiful and directional with a yantra smile, that will melt you

Words cannot describe how wonderful my experience with Ishtar was. She was so kind, sweet and thoughtful. She has a deep understanding of the human mind, body and spirit and I feel blessed that she shared that with me. I will absolutely be booking with Ishtar again.

Sublime. Other worldly! Ishtar is exquisite!

Amazing experience. Had a surreal human interaction. I really felt my body floating and sinking at the same time. Nothing else is like there and I highly recommend.

Do you find times where you just would really benefit from some clear, present, connected and easy going touch from, yes, a lovely woman? I came to be with Ishtar with just that request. I really didn't want to explore tantra that day, nor necessarily have an ecstatic experience. I wanted to melt into the table in her company and forget about what was going on outside of our session walls—plain and simple. To her credit, she smiled, nodded and we got started. She offered no pressure to conform to any standards of spiritual experience, and it was nice. Really nice. Ishtar is probably perfect for whatever wonderful experience the Temple is known to help facilitate, but it was sweet to know I could just relax, receive, share some quiet smiles, some down to earth everyday dialogue. What a genuine beauty. Enjoy all....

I am grateful for discovering you many thanks I am knowing I am Goddess ❤️

I am grateful for discovering you many thanks I am knowing I am Goddess ❤️

My experience with Ishtar was amazing. I was totally engulfed in her beauty and energy the entire session. I can’t wait to see her again.

Upon meeting Ishtar I was greeted warmly and enveloped in compassion. She is such a sweet soul and a beautiful person
I highly recommend her 🙂

I just received a Doubles Purely Therapeutic massage from Gabriella and Ishtar.It was Absolutely superb! The duo was perfectly in-sync with the tempo, deep pressure and intuitive flow. I highly recommend these two, together or apart, - as both are truly gifted and dialled in. -Queen Love

Ishtar is one of the warmest and strongest women I’ve ever met. I’ve seen her periodically since I first met her over a year ago, and it’s always an absolute treat. She has a powerful glow about her, and her eyes radiate a warm, tender energy that makes you feel very accepted and cared for. She’s caring, precise, soft, and so much more. If you see her once, you’ll be back for more—trust me. Absolute queen with a magical spirit and a divine touch!

I saw Ishtar with Gabriella a couple days ago and it was an amazing experience! Ishtar is such a warm and loving person, from the moment we met she put my nerves to rest. Her touch is like nothing I've ever experienced in my life. I can't wait to see her again!

Ishtar was fantastic and had great loving energy. Highly recommend her as she will turn around your day.

I was blessed to see Ishtar for the second time with the week. She made it a point to connect our minds, bodies and souls during that time. She’s so genuine and unique and made me feel that I was at the epicenter of her world. Throughout the experience she provided words of comfort and encouragement that helped me move past a real hard period in my life. Huge fan

ishtar was amazing. She does the healing with true love and care. The communication was great. She introduced me to the concept of tantra explicitly. I would definitely see her again.

Ishtar was an absolute delight to meet and connect with in our first session together. Her light and friendly demeanor put me at ease immediately and allowed me to escape the outside world and focus on the now. It also helps that she is very easy on the eyes with an endearing smile and an alluring aura. She was able to manifest a warm and open environment that fostered a deep connection. She is an excellent masseuse and my muscles felt a heavenly release through her hands. I only wish she was here more often. I look forward to the opportunity of connecting with Ishtar once again.

Bliss defined! From the second I entered the sanctuary Ishtar made me feel warm, loved and truly amazing. Her hands are silky smooth we traveled thru time and space during our session. I can’t stress enough to book the extended sessions 90 minutes minimum. Ishtar is a special soul!

Ishtar is ethereal. Each feather-like brush of her fingertips felt as if I was being painted into a masterpiece. If you're new to Tantra (like I am), it's some aspect of "time" that you brought you to explore this experience -- life may be too fast and you don't have the time you need to heal and reflect.
Under Ishtar, time became but a concept -- a mere curiosity that I contemplated with indifference. With Tantra, time will never affect me the same again, and I am thankful for Ishtar's care and professionalism.

Very appealing to the eyes and the soul. I had such a great experience and I’m looking forward to seeing her again.

This was my third experience with Ishtar, and I don’t know how she managed to improve on perfection, but she did! Her hands and touch fulfilled me. Thoughtful and considerate from the very start, she wants to know what’s ailing you and how she can help. The experience left me floating. It certainly doesn’t hurt that she’s heartbreakingly lovely. Cannot wait to book my next appointment with her!

Had a double with her and Kathena Sol. It was an amazing experience. Both were very experienced in the art of Tantra but Ishtar was beyond words. Her eyes captivating, touch soothing, and words blissful. I wanted more after my 1hr session. Will do solo with her next time

Amazing, loving, transcendental! Ishtar is a gem. She made me feel very comfortable from the beginning, and her passion towards the tantric arts is very evident with every word she says and every move she makes. Look forward to meeting Ishtar soon, again!

Ishtar is phenomenal. I really enjoyed the time with her.
During a very difficult period of my life she gave me an hour of bliss, relax, and joy.

After thinking about what my critique should be, I have say that my experience with Ishtar wasn’t good.......IT WAS AMAZING! Ishtar is a true pro in the art of massage and she has hands of gold! I was sore from recently beginning training again and she knew how to help with my soreness. I look forward to returning soon!

Ishtar was amazing and incredibly present in a session that exceeded my expectations. The energy she exudes and guides from you is mind blowing. It is meant to be experienced. I cannot wait for the next time to see where she will take me next.

I was thoroughly entranced and my body was deliciously massaged into a soft puddle of clay. Ishtar has solid massage skills & wonderfully fluid body slides. She will easily become an
all-time-favorite of many. I recommend booking in advance.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Queen Love

Absolutely gorgeous. Ishtar is stunning, greets you with a warm embrace and makes you incredibly comfortable from there. Her touch is firm and gentle at just the right times - my hour flew by! Definitely coming to see her again.

This girl is absolutely amazing. The way she can put you at ease is unparalleled. She is the first therapist I saw twice in one week. I can’t recommend her enough.

I feel really blessed to have gotten a chance to meet a goddess like Ishtar. The session really felt like I had transcended into some divine space. Not only did I feel completely healed from within, I also felt renewed, alive and enthusiastic. We had a great spiritual chat at the end of the session leaving me with a sense of completeness and clarity. I am excited to meet Ishtar again soon!

Ishtar is a revelation. Beautiful, kind, soft, warm and intuitive. She is beyond wonderful. I can't wait to spent another hour with her.
