Deep Rest Studio
Rest. Restore. De-stress.
Real rest, deeply held. A nurturing space for nervous system restoration, somatic support and true de-stressing — where your body finally gets to soften, settle, and come home.
Book a SessionThe sanctuary
A sanctuary for rest, restoration, and quietly coming home to yourself.
Wherever you're arriving from — stress, exhaustion, a body that's been holding too much for too long — Deep Rest Studio offers a gentle, considered space to settle.
At the heart of every session is nurturing, trauma-informed care — client-led, somatic, and attuned to you — held throughout your time at Deep Rest Studio, including your experience on the ENTLE® acoustic dry float bed.
Nothing here is about fixing you. It's about giving your nervous system somewhere safe enough to remember how.
This isn't a service. It's an art form.
Rest, held by real care.
Our ENTLE® bed offers a new kind of relaxation and wellbeing experience. It is not a medical treatment, and it does not replace professional healthcare. Instead within Deep Rest Studio, the ENTLE bed creates a calm, supportive environment where the body can settle, soften and respond in its own natural way. During a session, you remain fully clothed and rest on a water-supported acoustic dry floating surface. Gentle acoustic vibration, stillness and sensory calm come together to create an environment that is different from ordinary relaxation.
The technology does not fix the body. It creates the conditions around the body — and the body finds its own way home to rest.
You'll feel it before you understand it.
A gentle, structured vibration fills the space — not stimulation, just a steady presence, like something holding you without touching you.
Held, quite literally.
You're resting on water. Water has always known how to hold weight gently — it carries that vibration evenly around your whole body, so nothing is left out, nothing is left tense.
It moves through you, not at you.
Underneath everything, you're a living, connected web of tissue and fluid — so the vibration doesn't arrive as sound. It arrives as sensation, the way warmth moves through a held hand.
Your body starts to trust again.
In the quiet, your cells and tissues do what they were always built to do — they notice, they respond. Nobody is telling your body what to do here. It's simply given the space to remember.
This is the part people struggle to put into words
Somewhere in all of this, often without warning, the vigilance drops. The shoulders soften. The jaw unclenches. Many people describe it simply as: I feel like myself again.
The technology creates the conditions. The care in our studio develops the trust to allow the body to surrender.
Why Deep Rest?
You want to rest.Your body wants to rest.
Let's give it the right conditions.
Nervous system calm
A quiet, unhurried space where overstimulation fades and the body can finally exhale.
When noise, decisions and feelings pile up all at once, there's nothing here you need to explain, and nowhere you need to brace. Just room for it all to quiet down.
You set the pace
Whether that's simply arriving, lying down, and letting the experience unfold — or being gently guided through deeper work, one honest layer at a time — nothing here is rushed, and nothing is asked of you before you're ready.
Sunshine Coast sanctuary
A gentle, welcoming space designed for people who are tired, stretched thin, or simply ready for something different.
Some people arrive here before they're ready to go looking underneath. Some arrive after. Either way, nobody carries it alone in this room.
More than one path to rest
Deep Rest Studio isn't just a float, and it isn't talk therapy either. It's a rest ecosystem — acoustic restoration, trauma-informed deeper work, and an ongoing circle of shared care — each one its own thing, and each one yours to explore in your own time.
How we support you
Rest, held three ways...and each one its own path home
The Float
The signature ENTLE experience — sixty minutes of warm, water-supported rest. Every float includes your choice of gentle add-on woven right into the hour: a softly guided settling to help you arrive, aroma touch — hand, neck, head, feet — grounding, or a warm consent-led touch to help you land afterwards. Nothing extra to add on, nothing extra to decide once you're here.
Signature Float $120 · 60 minutes
Rest Ritual (3 floats) $255
The Devotion (6 floats) $480
Mum + Bub Float $129
The Deeper Work
Deep work needs a genuinely safe place to happen in. Not just permission — a felt sense, in the body, that it is actually safe here to go looking at what is underneath. That is what our studio offers first. Trauma-informed, root-cause therapy, always client-led, always at your pace — but held inside our studio that already knows how to settle a nervous system, before it is ever asked to do anything harder. And when the deeper work stirs something up, as real work sometimes does, that same rest is simply here — not a rescue, just a return. A place to land, integrate, and let the body catch up to what the mind just found.
The First Session (2 hrs) $190
Ongoing Session (90 min) $160
The Gentle Path · 3 sessions $450
The Deep Journey · 6 sessions $840
The Co-Caring Space
Healing rarely happens in one hour, alone. This is where the work continues between sessions — a growing circle of people learning to hold steadiness for themselves and for each other. Anyone drawn to a little more intra-therapy support is welcome here, wherever you're doing your own deeper work. Some of it happens quietly, in your own time. Some of it happens together — including in person, just through the door at Still, where the same quiet philosophy lives. All of it is built on the same belief the whole studio stands on: that safety, and healing, are so much easier to find in numbers.
Twice weekly morning rituals
Twice weekly grounding in gratitude evening rituals
Monthly co-caring connections
Ease back gently
However you've arrived, and whatever's happened during your visit with us — a float, deeper work, or time held in the community — nothing here rushes you back out the door. Sessions close slowly, not sharply. You leave at your own pace, and you're welcome to carry the quiet home with you, rather than snapping straight back into the rest of your day.
Who This Is For
Rest isn't something we earn, it is something we need.
You're on holiday — give your body a holiday too.
Maybe you're staying just up the road and looking for something different to do with your afternoon. Not another thing to tick off — something that lets you properly stop. You came here to rest. This is rest your nervous system — your whole body — can actually feel.
You look after your body — but this is recovery your body hasn't met yet.
You already know that how you recover matters as much as how you train. The ENTLE® acoustic dry float is restoration on a different level — a chance for your whole system to drop into deep coherence, settle, and reset. Not effort. Recovery.
You're so busy, busy, busy — and quietly running on empty.
You've been holding it all together for a long time. You don't need to talk it through, unpack it, or perform being fine. You just need somewhere it's safe to stop. Here, rest isn't a reward you have to earn. It's the whole point.
You lie awake more nights than you'd like to admit — Sleep is a temptation you just can't reach.
Your mind won't stop turning things over, even when your body's exhausted. This isn't about trying harder to sleep. It's about giving your nervous system somewhere calm enough to finally let go — so rest can start before you even close your eyes.
You give care to everyone else — and rarely receive any yourself — Partner, kids, parents, clients, patients.
You're the one who holds it together for other people. This is a space that holds you for once — no performing, no managing anyone else's needs. Just yours.
You're doing all the things — and your energy is still slipping.
Moving, twisting, turning, lifting. Pilates, yoga, early morning gym sets. Reading labels and making really good food choices. You're doing great. But sometimes, despite all the things, you're just tired. This is self-care at the next level — teaching, encouraging and holding you to actually rest. Deep, restorative rest. Blissful.
Feel Safe Healing
For those ready to explore a little deeper, Feel Safe Healing offers Root Cause Therapy™ and gentle somatic support — held with the same care, at your own pace.
Root Cause Therapy™
Root Cause Therapy™ is a holistic approach that goes beyond surface symptoms to identify and address the underlying factors contributing to physical, emotional, or psychological distress. Rather than managing what shows up on the surface, it gently explores the deeper layers — past experiences, held traumas, thought patterns, and belief systems — to facilitate healing that is lasting and real.
Sessions are built around you, not a script — drawing on Root Cause Therapy, Somatic experiencing, Ho'oponopono EFT, Mindfulness, always moving at your pace, inside a space that feels safe before it ever feels deep.
The goal is not to fix you — you are not broken. It is to help you understand yourself more deeply, break free from patterns that no longer serve you, and cultivate a genuine, grounded sense of wellbeing.
About me
I'm Susannah.
Before I opened Deep Rest Studio, I spent over twenty years as a nurse — general wards, theatre, mental health, across private and public hospitals — learning, up close, what real care actually looks like when someone is at their most vulnerable. That's where this work truly began, long before I completed my Counselling Diploma, trained in somatic practice and meditation, deepened my trauma-informed foundations through Root Cause Therapy — with further study currently underway in EP and TIMC through The Centre for Healing — or became a certified ENTLE® Acoustic Restoration Therapist.
I built this space because I believe care is a craft, not a transaction — something practised and refined over a lifetime, the same way any art form is. Whatever brings you through this door, you'll be met by someone who has spent her whole working life learning how to properly hold a person, not just manage a service.
I'm an IICT-recognised practitioner, insured and accredited in Acoustic Restoration Therapy and Root Cause Therapy — so you can rest here knowing you're held both gently and properly.
My own compass, if you're curious: I feel deeply, I see clearly, and I love unconditionally.
