Brave Rest

A 40-Day Self-Led Reset for Deep Rest & Steady Energy

A brand-new self-paced program is coming soon — designed to help you restore your nervous system, rebuild your energy, and finally feel rested again.

For the first time, Brave Rest is becoming a fully self-led 40-day experience. You’ll receive weekly guidance, soothing yoga nidra practices, and gentle support delivered straight to your inbox and Sarah’s private portal. It’s everything you need to create real, restorative rest — at a pace that feels kind.

Rest is not a luxury — it’s your foundation.

Brave Rest Success Story

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 ✨

Chronic fatigue and burnout don't have to be permanent.

You wake up tired after 8 hours of sleep. Your mind races at 2 AM. You’ve tried meditation apps, sleep hygiene, exercise routines—yet the bone-deep exhaustion persists.

Here’s what most people don’t realize: Your nervous system is stuck in survival mode.

When your body lives in chronic stress, it forgets how to truly rest. Your adrenals are depleted. Your sleep cycles are disrupted. Your natural healing mechanisms shut down.

But here’s the breakthrough: Your body knows exactly how to heal itself—when given the right conditions.

Your Brave Rest Experience

The Shift: Over 40 days of consistent practice, participants experience:

  • Sleep that actually restores—deeper, more complete, the kind you wake up from feeling like yourself
  • Energy that lasts through the afternoon without crashing
  • Chronic fatigue symptoms starting to fade
  • Anxiety and overwhelm losing their grip—replaced by calm that feels like coming home
  • Mental clarity cutting through the fog
  • Physical tension releasing from places you didn’t realize you were holding it
  • Decision-making that comes from confidence, not exhaustion

The Daily Practice: This protocol activates your parasympathetic nervous system—the rest-and-digest mode your body has been desperate to access. You’re not just experiencing moments of rest. You’re building a new baseline.

The Science Behind Deep Rest Healing

Research shows that conscious rest practices:

Studies from major medical institutions confirm:

Conscious rest isn't just relaxation—it's neurological rewiring.

Brave Rest Success Story

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.

The 40-Day Transformation Protocol

Backed by neuroscience research on neuroplasticity, 40 days is the minimum time needed to create lasting change in your nervous system.

Each week, you’ll receive two guided rest practices designed to:

Calm your stress response
Rebalance the natural flow of your sleep stages
Rebuild your energy reserves from the cellular level
Retrain your brain for sustained calm and clarity

Why 40 Days?

Forty days gives your body and brain time to settle, recalibrate, and rebuild. The Brave Rest protocol is rooted in repetition — not perfection — helping you create a lasting foundation for better sleep, calmer days, and more natural energy.

Brave Rest Success Story

The Brave Rest 40-day program gave me the two things I needed most for incorporating rest into my life: permission to surrender; and gentle support from Sarah and the community of participants. In rest, I continue to expand my potential to grow, to learn, and to love.

Brave Rest Success Story

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. ♥️
