Rise Into Your Leadership

Whether you’re stepping into leadership for the first time or holding space for others through coaching, facilitation, or peer support, Rise is where you deepen your capacity to lead with rest at the center.

Restful Leadership Institute is for people who feel called to support others—without burning out themselves.

We believe leadership doesn’t begin with performance. It begins with presence. With boundaries. With healing. With a deep understanding of how systems shape our experience and how we can move through them with care and clarity.

Rise is our learning and development arm. We offer coaching training, learning labs, and peer-to-peer support courses designed for those who support others.

Restful Leadership Institute is for:

  • Aspiring coaches and facilitators

  • Peer support professionals

  • Helping professionals (social workers, educators, counselors, and healers)

If you support others—you deserve support, too.
