Reclaiming Rest

Through the Wisdom of Yin

I'm Hilary, a holistic Alchemy & Sleep Coach dedicated to guiding purpose-driven individuals back to the restorative power of sleep.

My journey began with personal struggles—nights filled with anxiety, restlessness, and a sense of disconnection. Through exploration and self-compassion, I discovered that sleep isn't something to force; it's something to allow.

This realization led me to develop the Sleep is Yin approach—a gentle, structured path that honors your body's innate rhythms and fosters emotional healing.

My Philosophy: Sleep as a Sacred Practice

 

In a culture that glorifies hustle and undervalues rest, many have forgotten the art of true relaxation. Sleep is Yin invites you to:

·       Embrace Receptivity: Let go of control and create space for rest.

·       Honor Stillness: Recognize the power of slowing down and tuning in.

·       Foster Balance: Align with your natural cycles for sustainable well-being.

This approach isn't about quick fixes; it's about cultivating a nurturing relationship with yourself and your sleep.

 
 

Fun Facts About Me

I am a cat person

I love cats and feel they express the independent personality that I cherish. When I was a child I was read Ruyard Kipling’s “The Cat Who Walked By Himself” and my father would tell me that I was that cat.

Free to Learn & Be

I am passionate about my personal freedom.

Embracing adventure, I have traveled the world. I care about learning, growing and becoming a more healthy, balanced and kind human being.

I love being outdoors

I also appreciate the mystery of nighttime. I love to watch the sunset over the river near where I live, and then the dwindling light of dusk, shadows darkening, stars appearing.
