About
FOUNDER
The Rest Movement is my answer to a hustle culture that takes it out of us.
A cancer diagnosis in college led me to yoga and meditation, and I have experienced firsthand how the practice of deep rest can heal and restore the mind, body and spirit.
Half of my brain and energy are in the fast-paced world of software development as co-founder and CEO of RANA DEV, so I understand the world of productivity and hustle.
I’m Rae Helsel, and the Rest Movement is my answer to a hustle culture that depletes us.
A cancer diagnosis in college led me to yoga and meditation, and I have experienced firsthand how the practice of deep rest can heal and restore the mind, body and spirit.
Half of my brain and energy are in the fast-paced world of software development as co-founder and CEO of RANA DEV, so I understand the world of productivity and hustle. And I created the Rest Movement as my invitation to others to a restorative, seasonally rhythmic approach to existence– not as a replacement for hard work and a fast pace, but as a complement to help you reach your full potential.
I have over 2000 hours of education that remains ongoing, but my greatest project is ushering you into a next level of centeredness, wholeness, and vibrance.

OUR
MISSION
The Rest Movement is the antidote to hustle culture: a new paradigm of contentment and productivity that prioritizes deep rest, self regulation and alignment with natural rhythms.
Through a fusion of modern scientific methods and ancient restorative practices, we empower modern humans to live fulfilling and sustainable lives through deep rest.
THE PRACTICE PILLARS
Have you fallen out of rhythm with life?
We're made of the same elements that surround us. The seasons of the inner and outer worlds reflect one another, and their connection shapes our physical, spiritual, and psychological conditions.
This two week immersive journey is designed to help you re-align your intuitive sync with nature-- so you can feel better, even in a concrete jungle.
THE PRACTICE PILLARS
Have you fallen out of rhythm with life? We are made up of the same elements we see around us - our inner and outer worlds reflect each other in their cycles, and seasons, and insight. And the connection between them shapes our physical, spiritual, and psychological states of being. This two week immersive journey is designed to help you find an inner alignment of self with nature. A sync with her intuitive rhythms.
