Find Your Way Back to Rest

You were never meant to outrun yourself. Reconnect with who you are. Rediscover the simple joy of play. Make space for what truly matters (without judgment).

At A Good Rest, we believe rest isn't just about sleep or taking a break.

It’s about finding your way back to yourself, the version of you that’s been buried under the noise, the deadlines, the expectations. It’s the quiet permission to slow down without guilt. The simple, beautiful reminder that there’s still so much joy in seeing the world with fresh eyes. We create small, heartfelt experiences in nature to help you reconnect with that feeling – the feeling of being grounded, recharged, and a little more alive than you remembered. Because you deserve more than just getting through the day.

You deserve to feel at home, at ease, and well rested, in your own life again.

The Heart of A Good Rest

Connection

Because we’re not meant to
do life alone.

Through guided sensory experiences, we help you reconnect, with yourself, with others, and with the quiet wisdom of the natural world around you.

Wonder

Because joy and creativity
live in curiosity.

We invite you to set down the need for “right” answers, and instead explore, play, and see the world with new eyes by awakening childlike curiosity.

Spaciousness

Because you deserve to
breathe, to be, without rushing.

By slowing down with intention, you’ll find the clarity and calm that often gets lost in the busyness of everyday life. No fixing, no judgment, just space to be.

My Story

Hi, I’m Hazel, the founder of A Good Rest.

For years, I thrived in a fast-paced corporate world, until the relentless pace caught up with me. Burnout spiraled into depression, and for the first time, I realized that rest isn’t a luxury. It’s essential for survival. My healing journey brought me back to nature, back to presence, and back to myself.

As someone who’s been on both sides, the high-performance corporate world and the realities of running a business, I know how easy it is to lose yourself in the doing. Now, through A Good Rest, I’m here to support others like you in reconnecting with what matters, not through pushing harder, but by learning to pause, breathe, and be. Together, let’s reclaim wonder, spaciousness, and deep connection, so you can build a life that feels alive, grounded, and truly yours.

If you’d like to connect or share your own journey, I’m always open to a conversation over on LinkedIn.
