The Rest Effect Podcast
The Rest Effect
Brought to you by Rest Easy Collective, The Rest Effect is your go-to podcast for practical rest in modern life. What began as the official podcast of Rest Easy Expo Podcast has now evolved into something deeper — a space to explore the everyday impact of rest, sleep, and self-care.
Hosted by Holly Allen, massage therapist and founder of Rest Easy Collective, each episode offers real conversations, expert insights, and supportive strategies to help you pause, reset, and feel more like yourself again.
From behind-the-scenes chats with wellness professionals to honest stories about burnout, boundaries, and nervous system support — this podcast is here to remind you: rest isn’t a luxury, it’s the starting point.
Because when you make space to rest, everything changes.
Whether you're a long-time listener or just tuning in, don’t worry — all previous episodes are still available, and there’s so much more to come.

Whispered Calm: ASMR Massage with Neeka
In this soothing episode, Holly chats with Neeka from ASMR Massage — Brisbane’s, and Australia’s, very first dedicated women’s-only ASMR massage experience.
With over 22 years in the wellness industry, Neeka shares her journey to discovering ASMR and how it inspired her to create a unique sanctuary for women seeking calm through sensory relaxation. She explains what ASMR really is, the difference between auditory and tactile sensations, and the array of tools and techniques she uses to create a deeply restful experience.
If you've ever been curious about the tingles, the tools, and the tranquillity behind ASMR, this episode is for you.
Neeka will also be joining us as a vendor at this year’s Rest Easy Expo — come and meet her in person, ask questions, and even get hands-on with some of the tools she uses in her one-of-a-kind massage experience.
