Mina Isabel Shahriary


About the Teacher

Why study with them?

Mina is an animist herbalist, somatic guide, ritualist, birthkeeper, community weaver, E-RYT 500 yoga teacher, professional writer and homesteading mama of two. She walks a devotional path in service to the Great Cosmic Mother and the living Earth, creating spaces where women can reconnect with their embodied wisdom, intuition, ancestry and the natural world.

Raised outside of Washington, D.C. by a first-generation Iranian father and an American mother of Celtic maternal lineage, Mina grew up between cultural worlds, learning early to navigate belonging and in-between spaces. Over time, she recognized a subtle disconnection—from her body, the land where she was raised and her ancestral homelands. Her path has grown from that lived experience into a steady practice of restoring and deepening relationship with body, ancestry and place.

She now lives in the mountains of Western North Carolina on traditional Cherokee land, where she and her partner tend a regenerative homestead with their children and animals. There, she grows medicinal herbs and crafts plant medicines in rhythm with the seasons. Living in close relationship with the land shapes her grounded and relational approach to healing work.

With deep reverence for the intelligence of nature, Mina believes that healing and wisdom are always available through attunement to the rhythms of body, earth and sky. Her offerings weave plant medicine, somatic practice, classical Tantra, rewilding and nature-based ritual into intimate spaces for reflection and growth.

Mina’s facilitation style is gentle, grounded and deeply connective, creating containers where women can soften, clarify boundaries, reconnect with their vitality, feel supported in meaningful change and step more fully into their luminous, sovereign potential.
