Guide Others to a Life Rooted in Rest - Starting with You

Our world needs rested people.

We warmly invite you to join us for this year’s Daring to Rest Coach Program - a powerful online program for visionaries, changemakers, and any woman ready to root her work and life in rest.

Becoming a Daring to Rest Coach is not just a job - it’s a calling.

Welcome, Future Rest Leader…

This is more than a certification training program. It’s a deep remembering. A sacred reclamation. A powerful initiation into rest leadership.

The Daring to Rest Coach Program is for women who feel the call — to guide others out of burnout, to infuse their work with the rest medicine we need in these times, and to live from a place of radical, embodied rest.

Whether you’re a visionary, changemaker, healer, space-holder, or already a rest teacher…
Whether you want to lead others to sculpt a rested life or simply learn to center rest as a devotion to yourself…

This program invites you to journey onto The Rested Path and to learn how to guide others in this transformational framework nearly 20 years in the making.

Hi, I’m Karen

Founder of Daring to Rest, author of the Sounds True book Daring to Rest: Reclaim Your Power with Yoga Nidra Meditation, and your guide throughout this journey.

I’ve devoted my life to helping women reclaim rest as a path to power.

Since 2008 - long before rest was trending - I’ve supported thousands of women to awaken from burnout and live more fully in their bodies, their truth, and their purpose. I’ve trained over 500 women worldwide to become rest leaders through yoga nidra and now rest coaching.

When I started this work, rest was often met with eye rolls or laughter. But today, the world is waking up. More and more people are sensing that the pace of our culture is unsustainable. That hustle is a path to burnout. That something has to change - and rest is the remedy.

When I published Daring to Rest, my focus was on the power of yoga nidra to restore women’s energy and help them rise. But over time, I realized something essential: after deep rest, women need guidance to live the rested life they now feel called to live. They need a pathway - and they need guides.

So I returned to a framework I had once taught to new mothers and birth professionals — a three-part journey to connect with your body, reclaim your voice, and take aligned action. When layered with rest, this became The Rested Path™ - Rested Body, Rested Voice, Rested Action - a powerful map not only for healing, but for leading people to their most rested selves.

That’s why I created the Daring to Rest Coach Program: To support women like you to walk The Rested Path for yourself — and then guide others with courage, clarity, and heart.

Whether you want to integrate rest into your existing work or simply live more rooted in rest, this program offers you both the inner tools and outer structure to create life-changing rest offerings - and transform your life too.

A Bit More About Me:

• I’m a mother of two young adult sons raised on rest.

• I’m a rest coach, meditation and yoga nidra teacher, and former community organizer.

• I’m devoted to creating a world where people are deeply rested and radically empowered - especially women who have deep threads of exhaustion in our history and ancestry.

I believe rest is a sacred act of rebellion. I believe systems of oppression are invested in our exhaustion. And I believe that rest — true, embodied rest — has the power to transform lives and culture.

This work is the rest revolution we’ve been waiting for. I warmly invite you to come into community with other women who take rest seriously and want to change their lives - and the world - with rest.

• “The Rested Path, covering the Rested Body, Rested Voice and Rested Action is a very rich and deep course that covers so many key areas such as working with ancestors, lineage, inner mothering and first and foremost really takes you on that journey so that you get to experience all the multi-facets so that if you choose to share with others you will know exactly what they are going through and how to hold space. Karen creates a very safe container, so this work is psychologically safe and there always is great support from the whole group of like-minded women.” - Benaifer

• “This is a journey of reclamation: reclamation of your body and emotions, reclamation of your voice and power, reclamation of your life. This is a guided path towards reclamation of your right to live a rested life, filled with the perfect balance of practical tools and imaginative, dreamy spaciousness.” - Leilani Jefferies

• “An immersion of living and learning what it feels like to truly lay down my armor and rest, and then wake-up to living rested, more and more, everyday. Learning alongside a sisterhood of women walking home to living rested together. Everyone coming from a different place, background, and color, leaving with a little piece of one another woven into each of us. Recognizing that no matter where we come from, how old we are and what we do for a living, we are all (women) dealing with the similarities of keeping up, grind and hustle culture, trying to be everything for everybody, and always feeling like it is never enough, we are never enough. Living this way for so long and repeating our ancestral lineage (and story) of what rest was like for those before us, wakes us up to releasing, letting go, the feelings of exhaustion and overwhelm. Finding the freedom and joy with the rhythms of nature and having tools, honing our skills and resources to practice and share with others who want to know what it feels like to live a rested life and still be productive and thrive without sacrificing ourselves in the process. This training is so much more than REST, it is a journey, not just forward but to look back to see how far we've come and let go of past, limiting beliefs that keep us, as women, stuck in our stories, helping us reclaim our voice (our new story) to take action and control of our life and be all that we are meant to be.” - Cathy Sullivan

• “The Rested Path Coach Training was the continuation of coming home to myself—not the version of me who had to hustle or prove anything, but the one who’s already worthy. As someone with ADHD who’s lived in survival mode for years, this training is helping me slow down, listen to my body, and trust rest as a powerful foundation. I’m still shifting, but it’s already changing how I show up—for myself, for my boudoir clients, and for other creatives with ADHD. I’m learning to lead from rest instead of burnout, and it’s reshaping everything.” - Natasha Kaufman

• “I would describe is as a reawakening to yourself. I would also say it is about learning how to live and be more rested life in all ways of your life. To me, it is about empowerment because you learn how to strengthen yourself from the inside out. This training helps you find the tone and rhythm that you want for your own life, and how to help others find that as well. Following the rested path isn't just about resting, it's about feeling rested and making decisions from a rested place in all parts of your life. I love the idea of living softer and more authentically. It's about learning how to show up for yourself, cherish yourself, and decide what you want and don't want for your life on your own terms. It starts with awareness. Awareness of what is working and what isn't, what you stand for and don't stand for, what you need and don't need to feel more at rest inside and out. It's about learning what exhaustion contracts or wounds you want to release/heal or let go of from your life/past, and rewriting your story to be free and to start living more in your own version of life. It's about learning what is unrested in your life in order to become more rested. It's learning all these things with tools that we can return to again and again, and at some point you just return to the rested path naturally. You learn how to be more present in your life by learning what feels right and what doesn't because you know the tone of the life that works best for you. A more rested, awakened awareness that lives within you is what I feel this training is about.” - Mary Jameson

• “This training is a journey into our own depth, and an invitation to facilitate this tender and empowering work in others. It's a homecoming for women - a return to and remembering of who we are beneath the noise, busyness, all the doing and holding. It’s a permission slip to live the rested, golden life we yearn for and a reclamation of the Rested Woman who lives within each of us.” - Isabelle Griffith

• “It's the get out of jail free card...we are not longer prisoners to our the busyness of the grind culture. this program provides a pathway to first a rested body, which creates a more responsive instead of reactive voice which creates healthy rested decisions. It is a design for living.” - Terri Scherer

• “The Rested Path has cleared the way for me to take up space in the world with rest. It has been a pure ecstasy to find and discover and explore more and more and more. It unfolds over time, so you won't know the fullness of what you get within the program until some time has passed. And in that time, you will change, evolve and create more fully than probably you have ever known before. I invite you to try this training on because it has had a profound effect on my life and I know it will on yours.” - Monique

• “The Rested Path/Rest Coach training is a brilliantly designed and thoughtful led process of learning to lead yourself and others to live more of our lives on a rested path. The training is full of tools and rest opportunities. I imagine the experience is unique for each participant because so much of the training is experiential. It's so beautiful to explore rest in community!” - Ali
