ABOUT ESTHER HAMAR, ARTIST & SPIRITUALIST
Esther is a heart-centered coach, yoga teacher, intuitive healer, artist, and guide devoted to supporting others in awakening to their authentic self. Based on Vancouver Island, she offers coaching, yoga, energy education, creative workshops, retreats, and transformational experiences designed to reconnect individuals to the wisdom of their own hearts. Her work bridges grounded practice with spiritual depth. Esther is a certified coach through the Jay Shetty Certification School and a 400-hour Yoga Teacher trained in Ecuador and Costa Rica. Her teaching weaves together Hatha, Yin, Kundalini, and Tantra Yoga, along with meditation and breathwork, to support nervous system balance, chakra alignment, and embodied awareness. With additional training in traditional and Thai massage, holistic medicine, Reiki (Levels I–III), and intuitive anatomy, Esther approaches healing from a whole-being perspective — honoring the physical, emotional, mental, and energetic body as one integrated system. Her studies have also included Anthroposophy, Ancient Alchemy, Shadow Work, Chakra Psychology, and spiritual philosophy, allowing her to guide others in understanding how beliefs, emotional patterns, and life experiences shape both the mind and energy body. Creativity is another sacred thread in her work. Raised within the Waldorf tradition, Esther views watercolor painting as meditation — a practice of presence, emotional integration, and authentic expression. Through guided creative experiences, she helps others reconnect with intuition and quiet the overactive mind through color and flow. Across more than 18 countries of study and travel, Esther has immersed herself in diverse cultures and lineages, learning directly from master teachers and lived experience. Yet at the center of all her training is one simple truth: Healing is not about becoming someone new. It is about remembering who you are. Esther’s mission is simple: to inspire others to heal, live authentically, and return to the wisdom of the heart — in harmony with themselves, with others, and with the Earth.
SPIRITUALITY AND ART
I truly believe that Art, Nature, and Spirituality are one in the same. Growing up, Art and time in nature was my way of grounding, mediating, healing and connecting to a higher aspect of myself. As the years went by, spirituality and higher consciousness studies from multiple cultures became a great fascination for me, and soon I found myself loving multiple ways to ground, meditate and heal. Thus my passions changed and grew into what they are today to inspire others to heal, live authentically, and return to the wisdom of the heart — in harmony with themselves, with others, and with the Earth. It is now my souls mission and honor to awaken the hearts of others through my retreats, workshops, classes, and courses to create sacred spaces where people can return to the wisdom of their own heart and authentic self.

“Over the last few months I have been seeing Esther for an energy healing and massage. My life has improved in so many different ways that I can not thank her enough. I used to suffer from alot of anxiety, and worry, and had basically no drive left in me. I tried everything from counceling, support groups, to prescription medication. Now I wish I tried energy therapy to begin with because I don’t even recognize the “older me” Thankyou Esther!!”

“When I first realized that I wanted to see Esther, I was so depressed that I felt I had no affect…no happiness or joy, only apathy or anger. My situation was so oppressive, both personally and professionally and she helped me realize my self worth. I had forgotten these things. The situation I was in was leaching all my energy and leaving me a shell of my former self…angry, depressed and hopeless. I knew I could turn this around if only I could find the right solution. I had tried the antidepressant drugs and knew they were not an option for me as I prefer a more natural method, and this is when I thought of Esther. We have known each other for some years, but never in this capacity. I had seen her on Instagram talking about her methods, and from what I knew of her, I felt she would be fabulous…her true calling! I am so glad that I reached out to her! After the first visit, I felt a glimmer of hope again and it spurred me onto more treatments. Esther listened to my concerns, never judgmental, always caring and concerned and went to work with her healing energy. Within the next two visits, I was starting to feel like my old self again…my authentic self! I gained back the spirit and confidence to escape from those situations that were oppressive to me. Esther’s beautiful presence, light and energy are absolutely transforming as she helps you find your own light and worth. I continue to work with Esther as it keeps me balanced and positive. Thank you so much Esther! You are truly a gift!”

“I went to see Esther to help me relieve symptoms of severe burnout, stress and anxiety. I have a high stress job and have had some major life changes the past year. I have been receiving reiki and spiritual coaching from Esther for about 1.5 months and after each session, I have more mental clarity, feel more open to exploring new ideas and have the ability to handle my stress with more ease. My anxiety levels went from 8-10 to nearly half. I truly feel stronger within my body and mind. Esther provides a welcoming, warm and nurturing environment to be able to let go and trust in the process. She truly does have a healing gift and I feel more connected to my Soul. Thank you so much Esther for providing a beautiful space for me to heal and reconnect to who I truly am!”
