RESTED LIFE

A 6-Month Mentorship for highly-sensitive women

Online | In-person, Lincolnville, Maine

Are you living beyond your true capacity?

You struggle with sensory overload:

✓Sensitivity to bright lights, loud noises or negative energy.

✓Feeling emotionally drained after being in crowds

✓Needing more down time than others

This sensitivity can create challenges in your personal relationships...

✓ Explaining your needs for quiet, rest, or transition time to your partner or family
✓ Burning out on being social
✓ Feeling drained after spending time with certain people, especially those with negative energy

Your body may be sending signals that it needs support...

✓Low Energy

✓Sleep challenges

✓Being easily startled

✓Stress, anxiety, or overwhelm

✓Feeling “wired yet tired”

✓Digestive Issues

✓Needing snacks frequently

✓Weight gain due to stress

RESTED LIFE is designed for you.

I created Rested Life based on:

  • My training with Karen Brody in The Rested Path™

  • My personal experience in the art of rested living as a highly-sensitive woman.

    RACHEL

  • Hester, you’re truly gifted at creating a space that feels safe, calm, welcoming, and calming.

    JULIA

Ready for a lifestyle change?

What sets rest mentoring apart from practices like massage therapy, acupuncture, or reflexology (all of which I love and recommend!) is that you’re not only receiving rest, you’re learning:

  • How to identify what in your life is keeping you in the cycle of fatigue.

  • How to set rest boundaries that support your thriving as a highly-sensitive empath.

  • How to use embodied decision-making practices that lead to a more well-rested tomorrow.

Hi, I’m Hester.  

I come from a long line of highly-sensitive women.

And I was raised in a culture of rest.

My grandfather used to say always leave some water in your schedule.

As a little girl, I remember my mother & grandmother resting. My grandmother loved creating rest nests all over her home and my mom still takes care not to book her schedule beyond her capacity. Their example taught me to nap, read, and dream.

I later rediscovered rest as an exhausted 35-year old health coach, yes an exhausted health coach! Me and my clients were all too exhausted to make lifestyle changes. That’s when I became a Certified Daring to Rest Coach & Yoga Nidra Facilitator trained in The Rested Path.

You’ll be guided by someone who truly understands the art of rested living as a highly-sensitive woman.

Mentoring with me includes:

✓ My full presence: I see a limited number of clients so I can practice Yoga Nidra personally and show up for you as my rested self

✓ Customized rest prescriptions based on my training and ancestral rest wisdom from my mother and grandmother

✓ A spot for you on my rest altar so I can support your intentions

✓ Responsive communication to your emails between sessions

The coach-client relationship is important to your rest journey. If we find during your free consultation that we’re not a mutual fit, I will offer you contact info for my rest colleagues or other healers who might be more compatible.

More love notes

  • I felt held by Hester. I could feel her genuine care for me and passion for rest. Most importantly for me, I felt the freedom to make modifications that best supported me. That is huge for me, and I cannot overstate how that was the most important foundation of me being able to truly rest.

    GABRIELLE

  • Hester listens to your requests and accommodates them so well. Rest is such a necessity that we refuse to acknowledge. Hester makes it easy. I’m so glad she shares her gift with us.

    CASEY

  • I loved how cozy and safe I felt and how you gave me explicit instruction that there was nothing I needed to do - I needed to hear that, to be given permission to do nothing and just rest.

    SARAH

  • I learned that I can rest. Yoga Nidra helps you rest in moments that can be a lot or heavy. It's something that actually allows you to shut off your mind.
