Tuesdays 11:30–1:00 ET • 9  live calls on Zoom + replays

REST THEN RISE IS FOR WOMEN WHO FEEL PRESSURE TO DO MORE,
GET THINGS RIGHT, AND KEEP EVERYONE ELSE HAPPY, OFTEN AT THE EXPENSE OF THEIR OWN PEACE.

If you struggle to rest without guilt, live with a harsh inner critic, or feel like you’re always pushing yourself, this series offers a different way.

Through guided rest, gentle somatic breathwork, and self-reflection, you’ll learn how to ease self-pressure, soften the inner critic, and build a kinder relationship with yourself, one that feels more supportive, sustainable, and real.

This is not about fixing yourself or forcing change. It’s about stepping out of the habit of pressure and learning a gentler way to live.


PRESSURE + PEOPLE PLEASING
YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE IF...

  • You're tired of being so hard on yourself
  • You feel guilty when you slow down or rest
  • Your inner critic is loud and relentless
  • You put pressure on yourself to do things perfectly
  • You tend to put other people's needs ahead of your own
  • You want support, but not in a way that feels intense of overwhelming
  • You're looking for a softer place to begin that doesn't require "more willpower" 


THIS IS NOT A PROGRAM
WHERE YOU TRY HARDER

This is a time where you stop pushing.
No forcing. No striving. No “am I doing this right?”
This is your sacred pause—the place you come to receive, not achieve.

You give so much. This is your time to be held.


THE REAL WIN
WHy this works...

So many women have learned to live under constant pressure, pressure to get it right, hold it all together, keep everyone happy, and never slow down.

Over time, that pressure can start to feel normal. But normal doesn’t mean supportive.

Guided rest, gentle somatic breathwork, and self-reflection help interrupt that pattern. Instead of pushing harder, you practice softening. Instead of judging yourself, you begin listening differently. Instead of forcing change, you create the conditions for it.

What people are saying about Bonnie...
"I haven't relaxed that deeply in over a year - thank you Bonnie!"

"I’ve been on a healing journey for a very long time. But once I began practicing Yoga Nidra with Bonnie, my healing accelerated in a way I didn’t think was possible!"
"My sessions with Bonnie brought me clarity and healing in the most unexpected ways.  Bonnie's gentle presence and compassionate guidance made the experience safe, and her presence created space for me to feel deeper levels of healing from old, outdated conditioning.  Working with Bonnie has been truly transformative for me!"
"I was so deeply relaxed I could have fallen asleep. I don't generally feel this comfortable and safe with practitioners, but Bonnie is so warm, kind, intuitive, and non-judgmental, it's easy to feel stress just melting away and relaxation setting in."
"Bonnie's facilitation style is authentic and warm. I am impressed and surprised, frankly, at how powerful the exercise was because it was so simple. To me, this is a testament to Bonnie's competence and skill, and to her ability to connect deeply with another in a way that feels safe and comfortable."
     
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS....
DO I NEED EXPERIENCE WITH BREATHWORK OR MEDITATION?
No. Everything is guided and beginner-friendly.

IS YOUR BREATHWORK INTENSE?
My breathwork is meditative and gentle. You can lie down comfortably, and everything I guide you through is invitational. You can breathe at a pace that feels good in your body or simply rest and be guided.

WHAT IF I MISS A SESSION?
You’ll have access to replays for 90 days after the program ends.

WHAT IF MY MIND IS BUSY?  I HAVE A HARD TIME MEDITATING. ​🤔
Bring your busy mind.  You get to show up exactly as you are.  This is a practice to experience inner peace and create spaciousness around your thoughts.  It's not about emptying the mind, it's about you getting to decide what to focus on.  If your mind wanders that's perfectly ok.  With time, you'll be able to be more and more aware.  There is no right or wrong experience.
IS SHARING REQUIRED?
No. You’re welcome to share, but it’s never required.

If you're done trying harder, and you want a different way that actually fits real life...this is for you!
