About Ishita

Once our basic needs are met, our hearts hunger for deeper meaning…Who am I? Where did I come from? How am I growing? What are we serving? What else is possible in this Human Life?

A leading somatic coach, spiritual embodiment teacher and speaker, Ishita Sharma is an unconventional guide for our unusual times. A devotee of Life in its fullness, walking in awe, she extends Life’s deepest invitation- to live, love and lead from our center- grounded in our Humanity, fueled by Grace!

She is an expert in personal, relational and systemic healing, and often a quiet catalyst behind sincere seekers, renowned change-makers, visionaries, creatives, and high-impact stewards- including Silicon Valley CEOs, leaders at Broadway, Google, MIT, NASA, Harvard etc. Ishita has spoken at the World Women Summit, and delivered trainings at global multi-nationals, non-profits and professional organizations like Coaches Rising, US Association for Body Psychotherapy etc.

Clients come to her to mine the gold hidden in their deepest longings and biggest challenges, while mirrored in their perfect wholeness, so they can live into the fire of their calling, and have fun along the way!

Ishita is known for her “old friend” like presence, and a rare combination of precision, depth and love to clear the core of long-standing issues without push or pull. Her work furthers presence and meaningful Human connection in times when both capacities matter more than ever.

Growing up in the Indian Himalayas, coming of age in post-9/11 America, her cross disciplinary pursuits were guided by two longings- to alleviate Human suffering and understand the nature of Reality- how Life and people really work.

Eventually, diving into the depths of her own silence, she found the former is contingent on the latter, and that what all the Great Ones have said is in fact true- that we are what we are searching for, that all our pain and our longing is a doorway to more Power, Love and Grace than we dare imagine- right here and now, when we meet it as such.

The essence of her discoveries and invitation is deceptively simple: to welcome all arising as and from Love. She believes presence and connection are medicine for most modern malaise, and that the evolutionary architecture for our time is a murmuration. She is the creator of The Body Class, and Open Meditation– a simple, accessible key to embodied presence.

While her approach is rooted in her own explorations, it is supported by initiations and immersions in multiple traditions including Core Energetics-somatic psychotherapy, the poly-vagal nervous system, pre/perinatal attachment repair, relational dynamics, Systemic Family Constellations, Reiki, Yoga, the direct perception, and direction of subtle energy, a bloodline of seers, and more than 15 years of professional practice in corporate America as an architect and designer.

Ishita serves on the Board of Directors of the Bridgeway Group, focused on peace-building in conflict zones worldwide. She is an award winning multi-disciplinary artist, writer, architect and traveling Fellow of the AIA. Her personal Life centers on creativity, community, and nature. Besides creating alchemical experiences, Ishita’s superpowers include doing uncannily good impersonations (mostly of loved ones), color matching from memory, and magnetizing deep, authentic heart friends wherever she goes!

Ishita loves meeting Human to Human. Presence to Presence. Power to Power. Heart to Heart. She is committed to living and dying brightly, and helps others do the same.

Enough about her though, she would love to hear more about what makes YOU come alive, and help you live into your calling now– because Life is fleeting, and our times are begging for what only you can bring through by coming alive!
