What is The Rest Method?
The Rest Method is rooted in the belief that rest and the mind-body connection are powerful drivers of focus and well-being.
Our method emphasises small, actionable steps that can be seamlessly woven into everyday life, whether you're navigating a major life transition or seeking more structure.
Our aim is to support gradual, sustainable changes that align with each person’s values and journey, making rest an integral part of both work and personal life.

Her holistic approach helped me tackle my stress and make small but impactful changes to my routine. Melanie truly cares, and it shows. I highly recommend TRM to anyone wanting to boost their well-being and productivity."
Emily R., Life Coaching Client

Melanie's years of HR experience shine through in her blend of corporate performance and holistic well-being practices. She's unbelievably professional and real. I highly recommend The Rest Method for any company looking to enhance workplace wellness."
John P., HR Director

"I reached out to The Rest Method for a workshop on self-love, burnout, and rejuvenation for my group of female friends. What an incredibly welcoming, supportive, and empowering session! The holistic relaxation workshops and activities were full of tips to manage stress and build meaningful connections. The focus on self-care and mind-body restoration rejuvenated my spirit and provided practical tools for daily life. I highly recommend booking a group session."
Sarah E., Group Session Participant

"I joined one of Melanie’s somatic experience sessions not knowing what to expect, and I left with so much more than I anticipated. She guided me through the meditation with such care and presence that I felt completely supported. By the end of the session, we talked about what I’d experienced, and for the first time, I started to understand the connection between my neck and back pain and how I was holding stress. I’m excited to keep exploring this work with her."
James T., Somatic Experience Participant -
"I was stuck. I had this great business idea, but I was paralysed by perfectionism and running out of money fast. A single observation from Melanie shifted everything. She posed one simple thought, and suddenly, all my procrastination and fear were gone. I got back on track, and within a month, I launched my business. I’m so grateful for her kindness, insight, and practical advice—I’ve already booked five more sessions!"
Alex R., Coaching Client -
"As a COO, I was skeptical when I first booked Melanie for a workshop. I wasn’t sure how wellness would translate into tangible results for our business. But Melanie’s deep understanding of people, drawn from her HR experience, combined with her genuine passion for well-being, completely won me over. The team left with new tools, insights, and a sense of renewal. It exceeded my expectations, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again."
Thomas B., COO -
"I’m in my late 20s, working crazy hours, and constantly feeling like something’s missing. I tried three somatic meditation sessions with Melanie, and wow—the clarity I gained was life-changing. Each session was not only deeply relaxing but also incredibly practical. She included simple movements to help release tension and reset my energy. I finally feel like I can pause my racing thoughts and start living with more intention. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for clarity and calm."
Sophie L., Somatic Meditation Client -
"Ten years into running my business, I was overwhelmed, struggling to sleep, and losing my grip on small decisions. Things felt like they were spiraling downward. A friend recommended Melanie, and I’m so glad they did. She’s practical, kind, and an incredible listener—I don’t think I’ve opened up like this to anyone. She helped me start to make sense of where I’d lost my way. I’m sleeping better, feeling more in control, and would recommend her to anyone under pressure."
Mark S., Business Owner -
"After attending Melanie’s team workshop, I’ve gained a new perspective on both work and life. Her ability to blend her corporate background with genuine care for people is remarkable. She created a safe space for the team to engage and learn, and her actionable tips were practical and easy to apply. It was refreshing, motivating, and so valuable for building resilience and balance in a fast-paced environment."
Rachel W., Senior Manager -
"I was at my wit’s end, juggling deadlines, a team that needed me, and family responsibilities. Melanie’s Rest Method workshop was the pause I didn’t know I needed. It wasn’t about dropping everything but finding small, manageable ways to reset during the chaos. My focus and patience have improved dramatically. It’s not just a method; it’s a lifeline."
Daniel W., COO -
"Our company had been dealing with increasing burnout, and as a Culture Manager, I needed a solution that wasn’t just a quick fix. The Rest Method workshop showed our team how to incorporate rest into their daily lives, boosting their creativity and focus. It’s incredible how small changes can make such a big difference. Melanie’s approach is practical, relatable, and real."
Julia M., Culture Manager -
"I never realised how much I was running on empty until I attended a nature therapy session with Melanie. Walking in nature, taking a moment to breathe—it sounds so simple, but it changed my perspective entirely. I feel more grounded, less reactive, and more present both at work and home. It’s not just a method; it’s a new way to live."
Michael R., Individual Coaching Client -
"As a Director of HR, I thought I understood workplace wellness—but The Rest Method took it to a whole new level. Melanie’s sessions aren’t about fluff; they’re rooted in real-life strategies that work. The team left feeling empowered to take charge of their well-being, and I’ve seen a noticeable improvement in morale and collaboration."
Sophia K., Director of HR -
"I’ve always been the type to put everyone else first—work, kids, partner—and I was completely drained. Melanie’s Rest Method sessions reminded me that small moments of rest aren’t selfish; they’re essential. Her gentle, no-judgment approach gave me practical tools that fit into my busy life. I feel like myself again."
Lily H., Restorative Yoga Participant -
"I was struggling with feelings of emptiness, loneliness, and constant struggle. It felt like I had lost all joy in my life. Through Melanie’s coaching and movement sessions, I began to feel empowered again. She helped me reconnect with myself and find joy in the simplest things. Colouring has become a big highlight of my life now—who knew it could bring so much calm and happiness? Melanie’s approach is gentle yet powerful, and I’m so grateful for the positive shift in my life."

Reshma K., Coaching and Movement Client -
"I had zero work-life balance and was about to become a dad. I knew I needed to do something differently for my family and myself. I’d tried therapy before, but it didn’t really work for me. A colleague recommended Melanie, and I decided to give it a shot. I’m so glad I did. No two sessions were the same—sometimes we talked, sometimes we did yin yoga, and other times she guided me through what felt like meditation. Each session left me calmer and clearer than I’d been in years. Melanie’s approach is practical, flexible, and genuinely life-changing."
Bojan M., Coaching Client -
"I joined Melanie’s cord-cutting meditation online, not knowing what to expect, and it turned out to be exactly what I needed. Her approach was both nurturing and fun, creating a safe and light-hearted space for what felt like a deeply personal process. By the end of the session, I felt a sense of release and clarity that I didn’t realise I was missing. Melanie’s guidance made it easy to follow, even from miles away. Highly recommend for anyone needing to let go and move forward."
Sam A., Online Meditation Client, Austria -
"I was procrastinating, enjoying myself, but with no real routine—I just felt like I was drifting. A friend who’d done some of Melanie’s somatic experience sessions suggested I give it a try, and I’m so glad I did. After just one session (and I’ve already signed up for five more!), I walked away feeling like it’s okay to be where I am. Melanie helped me see that I don’t need to judge myself and that it’s okay to take the time and space to figure out what’s next. Good times ahead, thanks to her!"
Mike W., Coaching Client, Thailand -
"I’ve worked in large companies as part of the HR team and, more recently, ventured out on my own. Melanie’s coaching sessions not only gave me the boost I needed to feel ready for 2025 but also led to unexpected breakthroughs. She created a space where I felt truly safe to explore things I hadn’t even realised needed my attention. I’ve had therapy before, this was different as its not therapy, less talking, more silence, allowing the words to surface naturally."
