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.

Healing Through Clay: Creative Arts Therapy with Tanya Ramprasad
In this episode of The Rest Effect Podcast, I sit down with Tanya Ramprasad from Inner Atman Expressions to explore the healing power of creativity, presence, and expression.
Tanya shares the story of how she was called to become a Creative Arts Therapist and Holistic Counsellor, and why she believes art-making can reach places that words alone can’t. We talk about the benefits of her unique approach—how combining creative arts, somatic awareness, and counselling offers a safe, supportive way to release what’s been held inside and reconnect with your inner calm.
Tanya also opens up about the therapeutic power of working with clay—the grounding, tactile experience of shaping something with your hands, and how this simple yet profound process can unlock emotions, bring clarity, and create a sense of flow.
She’ll be bringing this practice to Breathe – Self Care in Practice on Saturday, 30th August, with her session Clay Mandalas. Tanya explains what participants can expect, what the process feels like, and why this is an opportunity to step out of your head and into a deeper connection with yourself.
If you’ve ever wondered how creativity can be a path to healing—or if you’re curious about Tanya’s beautiful session at Breathe—this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
