MY APPROACH

Creating Spaces Where You Can Finally Exhale

At Holy Rest, you’re not just attending a retreat — you’re being held. Created by a woman, for women, these spaces are rooted in presence, not pressure. I lead with a grounded, intuitive approach that honors your body, mind, spirit, and soul. Every retreat is a warm, nurturing place to soften, exhale, and return to yourself. As a certified breathwork and cacao facilitator, I guide gentle practices to help you regulate, reconnect, and feel deeply seen — by God, your body, and the version of you that’s been quietly waiting to come home.

HOLY REST'S VALUES

Rest is how we practice being human, not machines

Holy Rest was born from the belief that pain is never wasted, that God turns ashes into beauty and weary women into witnesses. These retreats are not an escape from real life, but an invitation to recalibrate into stillness. And into a space where God can touch your soul. A sanctuary for heavy stories and tired hearts, where rest is not laziness but worship. Here, brokenness becomes testimony, the rescued become rescuers, and women remember they are more than what they produce. Each retreat is a safe place to lay down the weight, breathe deep, and return home, to God, to yourself, and to a sisterhood that reminds you you’re not alone.

Moments from My Everyday

Between Bali’s stillness and London’s rhythm, I spend my days building Holy Rest, creating slow, nourishing content, and sharing what I’ve learned about healing and womanhood with women who need it. I’m navigating this season gently, creating in alignment with God's will, living with intention, and letting my daily moments speak for themselves. Whether I’m filming content, journaling by the sea, or sipping matcha from a favorite mug (I have many) - I share it all to remind you you’re not alone.

Click me for a little extra something... 

My body is 90% matcha.

I drink it every day. And I will be a Karen if the barista serves a bad one.


I still watch old Barbie movies.

The classics only. And I listen to the Jonas Brothers on repeat. (Shout out The Album)

My heart lives in Hong Kong.

Even when I’m in London or Bali, that place holds a piece of me.

I dream of a cozy life

A reading room, and becoming a wife and a mother, with a cat, a dog, and maybe even a horse? If having dolphins as pets was legal I’d do that too.

I’m learning German...

One day I'll be able to speak to my boyfriend's parents, for now it's google translate and sign language.

I collect ceramic mugs

I collect mugs from all over the world (one day I’ll learn how to make my own)

A Note From Me to You

If You’ve Been Waiting for a Sign — This Is It.

If you’ve landed here, I don’t believe it’s by accident. Maybe you’re tired. Maybe you’re craving something slower, softer, and more meaningful. Maybe you’ve spent years holding it all together for everyone else, and somewhere along the way, you forgot how to hold yourself. That’s why I created Holy Rest. As a safe space to return to presence, to purpose, to peace. These retreats aren’t about fixing yourself. but rather, the path back to remembering who you are beyond the noise and chaos of modern life. You don’t have to earn rest. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to show up as you are. I’ll be right here to welcome you in.

Sian

With Love,
