Held: Private Rest Coaching

As a visionary leader you hold a lot.

Where do you go when you need to put down some of what you are carrying? What do you do when you need to shift your weight, adjust all that you are holding, or even simply sort through the contents of what you are carrying?

Held : Private Rest Coaching is for the leader who has already made an incredible impact and set their sights on even more. Yet, they know that what got them where they are, won’t get them where they are headed.

You have led others to and reached a new summit. You have arrived at a place beyond the scope of your own detailed, intentional, and expertly designed map. What do you do when you reach the edge of your own expansive vision?

What do you do when there is no longer a map for where you are headed and you are carrying and holding a lot?

At this point who or what holds you?

Held: Private Rest Coaching is the sacred answer because it’s time to put something down, walk forward, lighter and in divine purpose.

We honor the map that helped us make it this far and we accept that we have entered a diverse new terrain. This private experience is rooted in your unique and specific needs, wants, challenges, and triumphs being held with meticulous attention and care.

Held is the most personalized, immersive, and depth rest experience offered.

We make this process of resting practical where by:

Together, we identify what gets in the way of you resting.
I support you in how to release obstacles to rest using my HELD methodology.
We create a rest plan that awakens more power, joy, and ease in your life work flow.

We take that process to a whole new level.

“What I loved most about my 1:1 Held Retreat was the feeling of bending time with Octavia. In 72 hours - I traveled back in time to celebrate, heal, and acknowledge mindsets I’m still working to shift, while also looking forward to clearly envision and feel where I want to be in building my legacy 10, 20, 50+ years from now. This bending of time felt natural, restorative, and nourishing because of the intentional focus by Octavia not only on logistics, but flow, feeling, and vibe. It is an investment I would make again without question because I know the power of the dreams that were seeded are still unfolding.”

- Gabrielle Wyatt, Founder and CEO of The Highland Project

“Octavia is a sacred seer, guide and steward of rest and restorative and creative practices. I’ve had the unique pleasure of being steeped in her teachings since 2021 in Devoted to Rest™ followed by writing mentorships and rest coaching that have been magically transformative. These experiences have led me to shape my creative and spiritual work with a commitment to being authentically rooted in love, beauty, truth, always centering a rested spirit. Octavia’s intuitive guidance has a way of unearthing more of my truest self & deepest heart’s desires which have made my doula offerings more expansive and powerful. I am eternally grateful for her gifts and the loving ancestors who have aligned our paths.”

- Cristina Aguilar - movement doula, activist, strategist, writer, Aguilar Strategies

“Over the course of life, I’ve had these “divine appointments” where my circumstances aligned in such a way to bring about deepened awareness, healing, or to usher me into a new season. My individual rest coaching with Octavia Raheem was a divine appointment. In three sessions, perfectly timed to coincide with a purging, clarifying, and grounding relocation, Octavia was much more than a rest coach, she was a doula. Under her artful and precise care, expressed as affirmations spoken over me each session, reflection assignments given, and supportive texts and songs sent between sessions, I journeyed through the labor, transition and birth of a new season in my life. It was a transmogrification (yesss thesaurus!), or transformation in a manner that was surprising and magical. She journeyed with me over and beyond this transition, and shed tears of joy with me at my arrival. If you are contemplating an individual session or two (or five), don’t delay what awaits you on the other side. It’s divine.”

- Traci Dove, Senior Vice President , Pahara Institute

You deserve a place to be held in confidence, with compassion, and unwavering care as you enter into and navigate uncharted and unmapped territory.

Held: Private Rest Coaching is it.

Held is a place where you can come and lean back. Be quiet, rest, reflect, and be witnessed as. Shed the baggage that has served your journey up to a point and no longer does.

Coaching that is simply about resting and being held? Like, what’s the point?

On the surface, this may seem understated and unproductive. Some part of you may even think it's unnecessary to simply rest with me vs work with me.

The simple truth is that embodying rest will transform your leadership.

Rest is a portal to a more sustainable way to build your leadership capacity.

Rest enhances your ability to vision, dream, and live + work on purpose.
Rest reveals the way to inspired action that aligns with your greater purpose, visions, and dreams.
At your level of leadership, rest is a bridge between where you are and where you want to be.
Rest is fuel. For where you currently are and where you are headed, you need more fuel, not less.
In the not so distant future, the most impactful legacies will point back to a soft place and a well rested leader like the one you will become as we rest together.
It’s not only your work that will change our world. It’s also your rest and healing that will positively shift the axis of all you impact, touch, and change.
In the words of Octavia E. Butler “There is nothing new under the sun, there are new suns.” You are approaching a new sun, a destination defined more so by how you journey to it versus when you arrive. Rest is the only suitable compass for the kind of journey you are on.

The shift from always being the holder to being The One who is Held is not a linear process. In my years of experience, the road to becoming a more well rested leader is not a straight line. And this is actually good news!

I mean, what a relief to know that you can weave, spiral, slow down, even twirl and still find your way as long as you are held.

You can rest and embody being held even if, especially if, you look at your calendar right now and feel overwhelmed by the lack of space and time.

We will make room for new strategies to emerge. You will also put down some things during your tenure of resting with me.

Together, we will find and create meaningful ways for you to rest and it will shift the way you hold and carry what is yours to carry. It’s important to note here and now that some of what you are holding is just really not yours to hold any longer.

As we rest together you will remember who you are and whose you are. This makes all of the difference in how you experience and express your leadership with empowerment and ease.

You will clarify life visions and goals, because your next level requires that you must see with new eyes. To have the greatest and most lasting impact, you and I must create a well rested way forward that centers your whole life, not only work.

Here’s what I want you to know:
