MEET YOUR GUIDE
Hi, I'm Nereyda.
I’m the owner of The Healing Tree Collective, a Licensed Ishtara® teacher and an Oral Storyteller. Everything I offer lives at the intersection of those three worlds: the body and the voice.
I guide women back into themselves through somatic ritual, movement, breath, music, and honest witnessing.
Not to “fix” you. Not to force you into some new version of who you should be. But to help you remember.. to come back to the parts of you that got quiet, locked away, or were never given permission to exist out loud.
My work is rooted in a simple truth: your body holds your story.
And when we create safety in the nervous system, the story begins to soften. The emotions begin to move. The shame begins to loosen its grip. And the real you... the one underneath survival can finally breathe again.
Your feelings are sacred, not a burden.
If you’ve been holding it together and fearing fallling apart… this is for you.
Maybe you’ve been functioning, but you don’t feel fully alive.
Maybe your mind is loud and your body is tired.
Maybe you’ve been carrying stories you never got to speak... emotions you never learned how to move.
This space is for the woman who’s ready to come back.
Not by forcing change, but by creating safety.
Not by fixing, but by remembering.
I Can Help...
Whether you’re craving private support, a deeper guided journey, or a story that speaks to the heart of a room...

MY MISSION
To guide women back home to themselves—through the body, through the voice, and through the truth that’s been waiting underneath survival.
Ishtara® exists to help you bring safety to your nervous system, release what your body has been carrying, and rebuild self-trust from the inside out. Through somatic ritual, movement, breath, music, and storytelling, this work creates a safe space to feel, to process, to remember, and to reclaim the fullness of who you are... without shame, without force, and without doing it alone.

For Women Who Feel Disconnected from Their Body
Come Home to Your Body with Ishtara®
Ishtara® is trauma-informed somatic movement practice that supports nervous system regulation and emotional processing - so you can stop carrying everything in your body and start feeling safe, present, and connection again.
What this practice supports:
Nervous system regulation (safety first)
Learn how to notice when you're in survival mode and guide your body back into steadiness through gentle, intentional movement
Emotional processing through the body (release what's been held)
Move emotions like grief, stress, shame, and anger in a safe way -- so they don't stay stored as tension, overwhelm, or numbness
Reclamation (voice, boundaries, and self-trust)
Reconnect to who you are beneath people-pleasing and "holding it together" and begin embodying new patterns that feel true to you.
Story as Medicine
I’m an Oral Storyteller because story is one of the oldest ways we heal.
It’s how we make meaning out of what we’ve lived. It’s how we remember we’re not alone.
And it’s how truth.. when spoken with tenderness, can crack something open inside of us and let us breathe again.
My stories live at the intersection of humanity and remembrance: grief, motherhood, identity, devotion, love, and becoming.
They aren’t polished performances. They’re offerings... meant to be felt.
