You weren’t made to constantly be on the go, yet many of us feel as though rest is a luxury or even a weakness.
If you’re feeling burnt out, disconnected from your body, or find yourself unable to rest and take time for yourself, stuck in survival mode, this is your invitation to soften.
Rewriting Rest is a gentle, trauma-informed space for women who are tired of pushing through and ready to explore another way—one that honours their nervous system, invites calm, and reconnects them with themselves.
Through a blend of guided meditation, body-based (somatic) trauma-release practices, and honest, supportive sharing—you’ll be held in a space where rest isn’t something to earn… it’s something you deserve and need in order to thrive.

This is for you if:
✨ You’re constantly tired—even after sleep—and crave a deeper kind of rest
✨ You struggle to switch off or slow down, even when you want to
✨ You feel like you’re always “holding it together” for others
✨ You’re curious about somatic healing but don’t know where to start
✨ You’re ready for a space that feels safe, soft and real—without pressure or performance
✨ You want to feel more connected to your body and less stuck in your head
✨ You’re curious about gentle body-based ways to release stress, overwhelm, or held emotion
✨ You long for genuine rest, calm and clarity—not just surface-level self-care
✨ You want to leave feeling grounded, lighter, and more like you again
What to expect:
✨ A small group format to support intimacy, connection, and safety
✨ Gentle, trauma-informed guidance through meditation and somatic release
✨ A gentle introduction to TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises)—a body-based practice that helps you release deep tension and reconnect with calm
✨ Restorative sharing in a non-judgemental space
✨ Journal prompts to deepen reflection
✨ Tea + nourishing snacks
✨ No special equipment needed—just come as you are
Here's what you need to know:
✨ Saturday 18th October . 2:00pm – 5:00pm
✨ £40 per person
✨ Early bird offer: £37 per person if booked by 20th September
✨ Bad Hand Studio - 7 Norwich Road, Bournemouth, BH2 5QZ
