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.

My winter special is proving to be a big hit!
Thankyou to everyone who have already come and experienced it.

My favourite reaction so far has been this one:
(with thanks to Bindi for the inspo)

I am paraphrasing, but essentially it is that it is like having an amazing meal (the hot stone massage) and then having dessert (she said icecream) that fills in all the spaces (the sound bath) making you feel amazing.

How lovely is that?! 😍

So ... I've been sitting with something I want to share... 😅

It's a bit of a leap of faith for me (and definitely outside my comfort zone) but here goes ...

You know that moment when you're so tired you put the milk in the cupboard and spend 10 minutes looking for it in the fridge?
Or when you finally get a 'me-time' moment and spend the whole time mentally reorganising your to-do list? (Just me? Surely not!)
Or when you're so 'peopled out' that you find yourself having a heart-to-heart conversation with your cat? (At least they don't ask for advice … and they give great cuddles 😍)

These everyday moments got me thinking about what rest really means for us women juggling, well... everything.

I'm excited (and really nervous!) to share that I'm writing a book about rest – specifically for women like us who are navigating life's plot twists with grace, humour, and maybe just a little bit of chaos. Because even though our individual circumstances are different, at the core there is also a deeper wish to feel calm and grounded even when things are not.

I'd love to weave your wisdom into this journey and hear your stories:
• What's the first thing you think of when I say 'rest'?
• What's your "I really need rest" tell-tale sign? (Mine's when I start having conversations with myself in my head … and make sense!)
• What's the most creative place you've grabbed a moment of rest? (Escaping to the bathroom is my go to move …)
• If rest was your best friend, what would you want to ask her? (Besides ‘Where have you been all my life?’ 😂)

Share as much or as little as feels comfortable (either here or feel free to DM me) – my aim is to create something light and fun while still being grounded in nourishing rest practices.

And your stories might just help another woman feel less alone in her own rest experiment.

I look forward to hearing from you.

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 …
