Resting in Nature. A Space to Just Be.
A nature inspired sanctuary in Treeby designed to care for your nervous system, prioritise your being, and restore meaningful connection.
Welcome to heART of Rest
A sanctuary for nurturers + busy humans to slow down, restore, and Be.
heART of Rest is a nurturing space designed for growth, creativity, and nature-loving individuals to be their true radiant selves. We believe busyness and exhaustion shouldn’t be your badges of success. Instead, we champion a life rooted in wholeheartedness, deep resilience, awe, wonder and self-compassion.
Each month, we offer grounding experiences to help you lower the noise of the world, care for your nervous system, and remember the richness of your own true nature.
What We Offer
Our monthly gatherings and workshops blend evidence-based somatic tools with soulful rituals. Step into a space of deep refuge and explore:
- Somatic & Restorative Practices: Gentle movement designed to release physical tension, create space for listening and care for your nervous system.
- Deep Rest & Esoteric Meditation: Guided spaces to unplug from the mental chatter and access your inner wisdom.
- Emotional Awareness & Mindset Training: Practical mindfulness, mind-body & self-compassion tools to help you navigate life’s transitions with ease.
- Nature & Community Rituals: Cacao ceremonies and nature-immersion experiences to connect meaningfully with yourself and others.
Our Core Intention
The philosophy behind heART of Rest is simple: to create a space where you can pause, receive genuine care, and pivot toward meaningful contribution and creativity.
Hit pause on the hustle. Step into a slower pace, connect with a like-minded community, and return home to your naturally radiant self.
Hi, I’m Lani.
I’m a Mental Health Practitioner, Yoga & Mindfulness Teacher and Deep Rest Coach. I blend evidence-based therapeutic practices with restorative movement and ritual to help you navigate stress, life transitions, and personal expansion.
Think of me as a compassionate guide for your nervous system and your soul.
From High Achieving Burnout to Heart Centred Balance
For years, I was a classic Type A personality—a high achiever driven by metrics, rapid promotions, and a fast-paced corporate career in the Tax Office. But beneath that external success, I was living the reality of chronic stress, disconnection, and burnout.
I used to believe that success meant moving fast, until burnout and the profound grief of losing a loved one stopped me completely. Loss initiated deep soul-searching and a decade of extensive academic and holistic training. In learning the science and art of safely slowing down, I began to know how to care for my own nervous system. Today, I share my lived experience and training to support you as you step off the treadmill of constant busyness and create space for wholehearted living grounded in naturalness, resilience and true wellbeing.
How We Can Work Together
Whether you are looking to care for your nervous system, navigate a major life shift, or connect/reconnect with your purpose, I offer grounded, heart-centered support through:
- Deep Rest Classes & Courses: Group practices designed to help you breathe and restore somatic safety.
- Women’s Circles & Seasonal Yin Nests: Circles of belonging, pausing and embracing your feminine wholeness.
- Retreats & Cacao Ceremonies: Immersive experiences to unplug, ground, and reset.
Ready to slow down? Join me for a session and let’s walk together toward a more radiant, regulated, and heart-led life.
A shared space for collective softening.
Join us in Treeby for upcoming workshops designed to ground and restore.

“Lani, you facilitate the most divine opportunities for us to come home to our body. I’m appreciative of the slow, gentle pace. The bush land location of your ceremonies adds another depth to the experience of reconnecting with the earth. Always grateful for your offerings, your presence and delicious cacao.” ~ Liz
