If you’ve spent your whole life being reliable, ambitious, and always “on”— you’re in the right place.
That’s where I come in.
Meet Ula, Queen of Rest
I’ve been helping others spread their wings my whole life…
When I was ten, I found a crow chick that had fallen from its nest—small, fragile, and helpless. I didn’t know what I was getting into. I just knew I had to help.
Every day I woke up at dawn to care for it, and gently trained it to develop strength and coordination but I didn’t know if it would ever fly. One day, it pushed off and soared – strong, confident, and free.
I’ve been helping others spread their wings ever since. Even when I forgot how to care for my own.
I grew up in a household full of emotional tension. My father struggled with alcohol. My mother carried it all and passed much of that burden to me. As the eldest child, I became the reliable one, the strong one, the one everyone could lean on.
I made myself a promise: I will never be stuck. I will always find a way to grow.
And I did. I became the high achiever, the ambitious one, the always-needs-to-grow-and-give-more one. The woman who could hold everything and everyone – except, I disappeared from the equation.
In my corporate career as an investment manager, I was responsible for protecting and growing nearly £1bn of client wealth. Outwardly successful… but inwardly disconnected – drained, lacking inner confidence, and feeling like I was never quite enough.
I thought it would be different when I left and started my own business. I took a break to travel, then poured myself into purposeful work… but burned out again.
Even after becoming a certified Polyvagal-Informed Coach, I couldn’t see how much energy I was draining through constant output, emotional load, and old patterns of overgiving.
One morning, I woke with a deep sense of unease. I went to the woods, hoping for peace. Instead, nature mirrored everything I’d been holding: the fear, the grief, the helplessness.
But instead of retreating, I reached out. I connected. I let myself be seen.
In that space of presence and connection, I accessed something I’d never fully allowed myself before: a profound form of emotional rest – the kind that doesn’t just recharge you, but brings you back to the most grounded, wise, and powerful version of yourself.
That moment marked the beginning of a transformation and birth of The Queen of Rest.
Now, I guide others back to their rhythm, power, and purpose.
I’m here to help you reclaim your energy, your intuition, and your success – on your terms.
Because rest isn’t a reward for finishing your to-do list. It’s the fuel for everything you’re here to do.
My Credentials
My Approach
At the heart of my work lies a radical redefinition of rest. Rest isn’t a break from success – it’s the foundation of it. Because when we honour rest as a core resource, everything shifts:
Growth becomes exponential, success becomes sustainable, and fulfilment becomes the norm.
This is the heartbeat of my coaching, my programs, and my message.
And it’s embodied in the REST framework I developed to guide transformational change:
R – Regulate and rebalance your nervous system
E – Expand your energy and inner capacity
S – Shift into exponential growth and sustainable success
T – Thrive from aligned energy and empowered presence
My work is rooted in:
I don’t just teach rest — I live it.
I walk beside my clients as they reconnect with their nervous systems, reclaim their energy, and build lives where their dreams become reality.
I believe in power that comes from presence – and in the regenerative force of multidimensional rest: physical, emotional, mental, creative, spiritual, social, and sensory.
I believe that success doesn’t have to cost your wellbeing, your peace, or your relationships.
You don’t have to abandon yourself to achieve extraordinary things. You just need the right support, the right rhythm, and the right energy intelligence.
Ula is a unique coach focusing on rest. Just being in her presence is like being at a luxurious spa, it leaves you feeling relaxed and re-energised.

“Ula’s voice and presence have a profoundly calming effect. Every time she speaks, it’s as if the whole room exhales. The energy shifts, from stress and hyper-vigilance to hope, stillness, and deep ease. It feels like being gently guided into a relaxed, trance-like state, something the world desperately needs more of.”
