The Rested Woman
A 12-Week Journey to Deep, Guilt-Free Rest
reclaim spaciousness, energy and ease in your life
You hold everything together. But who is holding you?
You are the one who keeps going.
The one who shows up—at work, at home, for your family, for your team, for everyone around you.
You carry the mental load.
You push through exhaustion.
You say yes when every part of you is begging for no.
Because that’s what you’ve always done.
And yet…
When was the last time you truly felt rested?
Not just a moment to sit before someone needs you again.
Not just collapsing into bed, too drained to think.
Not just scrolling through your phone, too tired to engage and too wired to sleep.
I mean real rest.
The kind that softens your body, quiets your mind, and reminds you of who you are beneath the exhaustion.
The kind that lets you wake up feeling clear, steady, and deeply present in your life.
-
The kind that lets you sit with your child and actually listen to their stories—without thinking about your to-do list.
-
The kind that lets you connect with your partner at the end of the day—rather than two exhausted people just trying to survive another workweek.
-
The kind that lets you move through your work with clarity and purpose—not running on caffeine, willpower, and sheer exhaustion.
But somewhere along the way, rest became something you had to earn.
Something you squeezed into the leftover spaces.
Something that made you feel guilty.
Something you learned to live without.
And now, exhaustion feels like the only way to exist.
But what if you could unlearn that?
What if you could release the guilt, the pressure, and the relentless pace that keeps you running on empty? Not by forcing yourself to “set boundaries” or “do less,” but by healing the patterns that keep you overextended in the first place?
What if you could find a new way—one that allows you to rest, replenish, and move through life with more ease?
The Rested Woman
welcome to
A 12-week 1:1 experience designed to help you slow down, unravel exhaustion, and learn to rest in a way that feels safe, nourishing, and aligned with your life.
Through a blend of holistic counselling, stress coaching, and slow living philosophies, you will be gently supported as you:
-
Unpack the conditioning that has kept you stuck in exhaustion.
-
Understand why slowing down feels impossible—and how to make it feel safe.
-
Integrate deep, replenishing rest into your life—without guilt or resistance.
-
Realign your days with what truly matters—your energy, your values, your well-being.
-
Show up as the woman you want to be—at home, in your work, and within yourself.
Because this isn’t just about slowing down.
It’s about finally feeling like yourself again.
What if rest wasn’t something you had to fit in, but it was the foundation you built everything else on?
It is possible to wake up feeling rested, rather than relying on caffeine to function. It’s possible to move through your day with presence, rather than rushing on autopilot. It is possible to sit with your children, partner, or work, and feel fully, deeply focused on the moment.
And when you have that foundation in place, it is also possible to feel clear and confident in every aspect of your life—as a leader at work, as a partner or parent—instead of feeling distracted, overwhelmed and exhausted.
This is what’s possible when you choose to rest.
This is what’s possible when you allow yourself to be held, supported, and gently guided back to yourself.
Because you are allowed to rest.
You always have been.
And when you do?
everything changes
how it works
Since resting is more complicated than just ‘sitting down’ (so much more complicated!) I created a framework to help you process the beliefs, stories and habits that keep you stuck in cycles of doing too much.
The R.E.S.T Framework
A NEW WAY TO REST WITHOUT GUILT
Rest isn’t just about taking a break—it’s about breaking free from exhaustion for good.
Right now, no matter how much sleep you get or how many self-care routines you try, you’re still running on empty. Even when you slow down, the guilt creeps in, and your mind keeps racing.
The R.E.S.T. Framework isn’t about forcing yourself to "relax"—it’s about making real, lasting shifts so you can restore your energy, well-being, and life.

You’ll have ongoing voice and text support between sessions to ask questions, receive guidance, and feel supported in real-time. - Gentle Accountability & Personalised Support This isn’t about forcing yourself to slow down. It’s about being supported in a way that feels good. You’ll receive gentle check-ins to help you integrate rest into your life. It gets easier with time and practice, but in the beginning, making time to rest can feel like it requires as much discipline as going to the gym. - Soft, Nurturing Audio Reflections Thoughtfully crafted voice notes to guide you back to yourself when you feel overwhelmed or lost in the noise. Sometimes you just need that voice in your ear giving you permission to take a breath. - Journaling Invitations Deep, reflective prompts to help you unpack the beliefs that have kept you in survival mode—and rewrite them. - Practical Rest Rituals & Slow Living Practices Rooted in nature-based healing and slow living philosophies, these simple, sustainable practices will help you shift into a life that doesn’t require burnout to feel meaningful.

"I had my session with Steph at a time of vulnerability and raw emotion. Steph really heard my need for a shake up of how I spread myself across all the areas of my life as an individual, mum, wife & professional. Steph is skilled, empathetic and intuitive with her support and session planning - loved this and can’t wait to do more."
