Rest Is the Way Back to You

I’m Sarah Brassard, and I guide women back to themselves through the simplest, most overlooked practice: rest.

When you finally pause, your body restores, your mind softens, and your spirit reconnects with what matters most.  I’d love to guide you into that rest—through practices, teachings, and conversations that bring you home to yourself.

“I was feeling tired much of the time and missing my inner zest. I had a hunch that opening more fully to my body was the right thing, so I signed up for Brave Rest. The 40-day guided practice supported me in settling, listening to my heart, and cultivating spaciousness in my body and breath. I feel more joyful, more trusting, and more resourced. I’ve gained access to a community of kind others. It’s been a gift, one that came at the right time, and the journey continues ✨ “
Nina

For the bone tired who are ready to try something radically different—and beautifully simple. The only requirement is your willingness to lie down and listen. No meditation experience needed. No pressure to “do it right.” Through gentle daily guided rest practices and optional weekly live sessions, you’ll discover the profound healing that happens when you simply allow yourself to rest. Beginning at the fall equinox, this is conscious rest as medicine—simple, accessible, and transformative.

Begin Your Rest Practice

If you’re new here, the best place to begin is with rest itself. I’ve created a simple hub where you can explore what rest really means and discover easy ways to bring it into your daily life.

“I rested for 40 days and have continued to rest and feel so ‘alive’ finally after 8 years, or should I say 62 years of feeling fearful and worried all the time, I am able to move with ease, stay in the moments, and acknowledge the fear. “
Margaret O'Donnell

“I crave my rest practice. It rests my entire body from my tired eyes to my racing thoughts. From the top of my head to the tips of my toes I feel a deep soulful rest. It calms and clears my mind and sets the foundation to connect the dots from my outside world to my inside world. ♥️”
