REST: A nervous system reset
A gentle, restorative workshop designed to support your nervous system, soften stress, and help you come home to your body. Join me for this transformative 90-minute escape, crafted with love, care and your calm at its core.
Whether you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or somewhere in the wild middle of motherhood—this is your space to exhale, rest, and be held.
If you’ve come to REST before, this will be autumnal focused with a few extra tools to prepare you for the nursery bugs, supporting your immune system ahead of winter and letting go of anything that no longer serves you.
What to Expect: In this immersive experience, I'll guide you through a unique blend of therapeutic practices aimed at releasing tension, reconnecting with your body and allowing you to deeply rest.
Somatic Movement: Gentle movement to land in your body and soften tension.
Facial Massage & Acupressure: We’ll delicately massage away your stress, helping you find a state of calm, promoting balance within.
Emotional Stress Release Techniques: Equip yourself with effective techniques to navigate the challenging moments.
Lymphatic Massage: Feel the flow as I guide you through lymphatic massage techniques, a practice known for its detoxifying benefits. Release the built-up tension and allow your body to reset.
Restorative Yoga Nidra: Our journey culminates in a blissful state with 30 minutes of guided deep rest. Immerse yourself in relaxation as you connect with your inner self, cultivating a sense of stillness that resonates long after our session concludes. 20 minutes of Yoga Nidra is in fact the equivalent of two hours sleep!
Why REST? I created REST as a response to the overwhelm I see so many women carrying - especially in motherhood. You don’t need to earn your rest, you’re already worthy of it.
REST is more than a workshop; it's a sanctuary crafted exclusively for women seeking solace from the demands of daily life. My mission is to provide you with a space to unwind, rejuvenate your body, and nurture your inner stillness.
Who it’s for:
• Pregnant mums
• Postnatal mums
• Mums in need of a nervous system reset
• Any women craving stillness, support, and a space to be held

“A much-needed 90 minutes of calm - so far removed from the juggling act of Mum life that I practically floated out of the door afterwards! It was the reset my nervous system had been crying out for and I’ve come away with some gentle yet practical stress-relieving tools to use when I just need a moment to slow down.
I would love for your work to become an integral part of the postpartum journey as it is so essential and (in my case) not something I really considered until much further down the line.”

This class is intended just for mamas, I completely understand though that you may need to leave the class if your baby needs you and you are welcome to pop out whenever you need to.
“This workshop is a taster of some of the best things in Laura’s ample bag of tricks, wrapped up in her authentic kindness and passion for bringing Mamas the nourishment they deserve. ”
“Laura’s REST workshop was incredible. I don’t think I have ever felt so calm and relaxed and it really allowed me to escape from the everyday worries that come with being a mother. The environment Laura created was so tranquil, serene and calm and the session was delivered beautifully. I felt so at ease for the entirety of the class as Laura has such a kind and welcoming presence. Every mama deserves to experience this class, it really was a little piece of paradise. ”
