Productive Rest
Rest is Productive.
Rest is not passive - it’s a powerful and active part of healing.
Productive Rest is about skillfully creating safety in the brain and body first... then slowly, lovingly inviting gentle repair and reconnection.
It's rest that builds capacity, soothes the nervous system, empowers your choices, and rewires self-trust. Rest isn’t just about lying down, it’s reclaiming your energy as a vital part of your recovery.
You and your brain are completely unique - shaped by your stories, your traumas, your lived experiences, and even your brain structure as a woman. And you deserve an approach that honours all of it.
This program is specifically designed for women struggling with persistent post-concussion symptoms.
Here, you'll learn how to recover with more ease, knowledge, and compassion - integrating supportive tools into your daily lifestyle and creating conditions where your body and brain can finally trust themselves again.
Healing doesn’t happen by force. It happens through safety, support, and sovereignty.
This is just the beginning, and it’s a beautiful place to start.

✨ Conditions for Personal Safety
Rest - counter-intuitively - doesn’t always feel restful. A healing state requires the brain-body to feel safe, and most often post-concussion, your internal world doesn't feel safe. A trauma has just occurred to your brain-body and closing your eyes may even trigger your brain-body to move into a fight/flight/freeze/fawn response.

🌊 Lesson 8: Rest for the Nervous System
There are so many ways to rest the nervous system - nervous system regulation is the new black! the quickest way though - breath. Truly, deeply, breath is transformational. However, the vagus nerve is often so traumatized post-concussion and our window of tolerance has shortened so dramatically, particular breaths are needed to establish safety and dpwnregulate our bodies. Here I will share lot’s of tools to use and the specifics of when it might feel best to use them in your day (or night).

Rest is Productive.
The way you feel on the inside matters - help your body on your healing journey by feeling safe and at ease in the recovery process.
There are so many moments in the day, in your daily lifestyle, that you can take to rest. Actively or passively, it’s about knowing why your post-concussed brain needs it, what rest is doing in your brain and body, how to embrace rest productively, and when you can activate your rest post-concussion in small steps that build up to a lifestyle designed to get you back to your full yoptoimal state of living!
