our story

We created rested: because we wanted the kind of reformer Pilates retreats we’d been searching for ourselves.

A weekend where movement feels joyful.

Conversations happen naturally.

Food is shared around one table.

And nobody feels like they have to “do wellness” perfectly.

Steph, rested: reformer Pilates teacher

steph parker

co-founder & reformer pilates instructor

I believe movement should feel welcoming, not intimidating. After falling in love with reformer Pilates myself, I’m passionate about helping others discover just how empowering and enjoyable it can be.

With over 15 years of experience in hospitality, I love bringing together joyful movement, thoughtful hosting and delicious seasonal food to create retreats where everyone feels relaxed, supported and completely at home.

Whether it’s your first reformer class or your fiftieth, my sessions are designed to build confidence, celebrate what your body can do and leave you feeling stronger, calmer and refreshed.

Natalie, rested: founder and retreat host

natalie robertson

co-founder & experience curator

My background in fashion, marketing and charity has always centred around one thing - bringing people together through meaningful experiences.

I believe life is made up of small moments worth celebrating, whether that’s flowers picked from the garden, long conversations around the dinner table, an evening swim, a creative afternoon or simply making time to slow down.

I love creating spaces where women feel comfortable enough to relax, connect and be completely themselves.

At rested:, I curate the guest experience behind every retreat to ensure every little detail helps you slow down, reconnect and feel completely at home.
