Hello! I’m Mina Isabel—and yes, that’s me gazing at an oak tree in deep admiration while casually striking a yoga pose.

I created Divine Nectar because I love sharing somatic and rewilding practices, crafting plant medicines, and creating healing spaces for those who long to reconnect with the innate wisdom held within our bodies—and remember the truth of who we are as humans. The name itself is inspired by ancient stories of a sacred plant elixir—soma in the Vedic tradition and haoma in the Zoroastrian tradition—revered as a life-giving nectar of vitality, clarity and renewal.

I was raised in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. by an Iranian father and an American mother with a Celtic maternal line, growing up between cultural worlds and learning early how to navigate difference, belonging and in-between spaces.

Over time, I became aware of a subtle disconnection—from my body, the land where I was raised and from the ancestral homelands carried in my lineage. Much of my journey has been about reclamation: restoring relationship with my body, ancestry and the land I now call home.

This path has led me to explore my own ancestral traditions, as well as knowledge systems rooted in unbroken spiritual and ecological connection. I continue to learn from teachers of vitalist herbalism, classical Tantra, yoga and Ayurveda, Zoroastrianism and Andean nature mysticism, holding deep gratitude for the ways these lineages shape my life and work.

Much of my journey "home" has been about remembering what it means to live in deep relationship with my body, ancestral lineages, and the land I live on.

I’m drawn to syncretic pathways rooted in interdependence, inner work and cultural respect. My curiosity is especially alive around the feminine mysteries, water consciousness, vibrational healing, and the co-creation of New Earth.

I live on traditional Cherokee land in the mountains of Western North Carolina, where my partner Kyle and I steward a 33-acre regenerative homestead with our two little boys and a lively crew of cats, dogs, chickens and ducks.

With deep reverence for the intelligence of nature, my work is grounded in the belief that healing and wisdom are always available through attunement to the rhythms of body, earth and sky. I trust in the power of plant medicine, embodiment, nature connection and community as ways to mend the inherited story of separation and remember our belonging.

My work is devoted to helping others reclaim their innate vitality, joy and sovereignty—rewriting inherited stories of separation into lives rooted in interconnection and wholeness.
