Rest
to Rise
A NEW PRACTICE FOR PRODUCTIVITY AND CONTENTMENT. WELCOME TO your ANTIDOTE TO HUSTLE CULTURE.
Rest Like Your Life Depends on It
…because it does, in every possible measure. Physical health, career success, healthy relationships all rely on a healthy, aligned life.
Our culture celebrates hustle. But at some point, that hustle begins to backfire.
We push harder, but our productivity stays stagnant.
We climb the ladder, but feel unfulfilled.
When we’re depleted and stressed, we’re the worst version of ourselves. And when we’re rested and centered, we become better in every area of our lives, from work to relationships.
We know about the power of rest because we’ve been there. The Rest Movement is rooted in cutting edge scientific methods and ancient restorative practices, and it’s about more than just slowing down. It’s about igniting a transformation in your life by doing the exact opposite of what we’ve been taught.
You don’t have time for fatigue or burnout. The hustle needs a reframe, because you deserve better.
Why Rest?

The Rest Movement method will open the door to the transformative power of deep rest. Give yourself newfound energy and revitalization, and gain the clarity and focus you need to excel in all areas of your life.

Powerful productivity is based on a foundation of deep well-being. Prioritizing rest and self-regulation will recenter your body and mind, leading to unleashed creativity, productivity and effectiveness. Your work will not only be transformed– it will be more sustainable than ever.

“Wow. I didn’t know I was this tired.”
I avoided restorative yoga for years. As the founder of a development startup and leader in the coding/UX world, I was also busy teaching yoga on the side– the harder the vinyasa, the more I felt it was worth. I thought that slow and meditative = not the best use of my limited time.
And I had no idea I was running on fumes.
The first time I let myself sink into a restorative pose was the moment I realized how deeply depleted I was, and how that exhaustion was rippling into every area of my life. I knew my work, my body, my relationships and my mind couldn’t thrive without the tools for self-regulation. This was the moment The Rest Movement began.
Now I weave elements of meditation, medical qi gong and neuroscience into a unique blend called The Rest Movement– and it’s taken me and countless others from a place of exhaustion and hustle into healing, flow and empowerment.

"The ability to know you’re understood, held and celebrated. This is achieved by asking thoughtful questions accompanied with a true deserve to hear the response.
Like a bouquet of bright balloons in a black and white movie, Rae gives, says or does something that changes your perspective to see things in color again. All bc she takes notice of what you love and what makes you tick.
Knowing how to genuinely appreciate the quality of something beautiful and only giving to that level."

"There’s a simplicity and calmness when dawn meets the full light of day, where gentle waves crash into sandy shores, softly and with a mission. That quietness in the soothing sounds of those moments before the world wakes. That is Rae. She embodies calm and gentle. She carries herself and her words with purpose, thoughtfulness, kindness. Radiating light and love, extending that to her closest people constantly. Rae is a magnet in her power. She inspires people by being fully present in herself. Complex yet in aligned form. I’d describe her brand much of the same. There is such intentionality behind her ideas and how she brings them to fruition. Neutral and to the point in a methodical and serene way. For these reasons and for who she is as a human being and as a successful woman, I feel her brand mirrors her personal and professional qualities. There are not many people that can lead in quiet confidence, but that is Rae."

She is one of those exceptional people who, even if you don't know her personally, makes you feel safe and at ease right away."
