REST with Carolyn

REST with Carolyn Gentle, nurturing rest-based wellness treatments and custom events for women My massage, sound, soundbaths and group events are a time for recovery. To regroup.

The intention behind my events, classes and reTREATs is for you to relax, rest and recentre. If you are stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or feel guilty for taking time for yourself, I support you to feel deeply nurtured and cared for. To just stop and 'be' before you drift back to your personal life. They can't change the external factors that create your stress, tension, anxiety, pain or overwhelm, but they can slowly help you shift and heal; giving you and your body and mind a fresh start: a chance to rest and recentre. I invite you to join me! Carolyn x

Please note: while my signature deep relaxation hot stone and sound sessions at my studio are for women only, my soundbath meditations are open to everyone.

One week to go.

Next Saturday, I’ll be gathering with a small group of people to celebrate the launch of The Great Rest Experiment.

I’m really looking forward to sharing a short reading, connecting in person, and marking this moment together, gently and without rush.

This book wasn’t written quickly (or lightly.)

The Great Rest Experiment came from years of noticing how tired we are, and how little permission we give ourselves to stop.

It felt important to mark its arrival in a way that reflects that same care: with a small, in-person gathering where nothing is rushed and nothing is demanded.

On Saturday 7 March, I’ll be sharing a short reading and celebrating the book’s launch with anyone who feels called to come.

If this book has ever been for you, this afternoon might be too.

A few people have asked what my book launch event will actually be like, so I wanted to share.

There’s no set agenda.
No awkward activities.
No pressure to stay the whole time.

You’re welcome to arrive when it suits you, spend some time, and I’ll share a short reading from The Great Rest Experiment.

It’s designed to feel spacious and unhurried.

If that sounds like your kind of afternoon, I’d love to see you there.

Sometimes the hardest part is deciding whether to come.

If you’ve seen my book launch event and thought:
'It sounds lovely, but I’m not sure…', this is for you.

This isn’t a loud launch or a busy schedule. (I'm an introvert by nature!)

It’s a gentle, in-person afternoon to mark the arrival of The Great Rest Experiment.

You can arrive when it suits you.
You can stay for the whole time or just a little while.
You don’t need to know anyone.
You don’t need to do anything.

There’ll be space to mingle, grab a few nibblies, and I’ll share a short reading from the book and a few words about why it came to life.

If you feel called to come and be part of it, I’d truly love to see you.

I’m quietly excited to share this.

I’m celebrating the launch of my book The Great Rest Experiment, and I’m hosting a small, in-person afternoon to mark the moment.

It’s not a formal event, more an open, welcoming space where you can arrive when it suits you, connect with others, and spend some time together.

I’ll share a short reading from the book and a few words about why it came to life.

If you feel drawn to come along, you’d be very welcome.

welcome to RASA wellbeing

I help women who are stressed, anxious, overwhelmed or feel guilty for taking time for themselves, feel deeply nurtured and cared for. My aim for every session is to create space for women to love and honour themselves through massage and bodywork.

A rasa (Sanskrit: रस, Malayalam: രാസ്യം) literally means juice, essence or taste; the 'flavour' of something that evokes an emotion or feeling that cannot be described.

My hope is that through the deep relaxation treatments I offer, you experience a feeling or emotion that cannot be described ... the essence or bliss that is you. All it takes is one session, once a month to keep you on track to returning to the best version of you: relaxed, confident, pain free, positive and full of energy …
