The need

So many women are quietly carrying more than they can hold.

Trauma, grief, abuse, anxiety, and exhaustion rarely announce themselves. They arrive slowly and stay silently — until the weight becomes unbearable. Rest House exists because healing shouldn't be a luxury. It should be within reach for every woman who needs it.

1.5

times more women experience anxiety or depression than men.

60%

of trauma survivors go without long-term support.

50%

of women report burnout so deep it disrupts daily life.

Our story

We combine trauma-informed care, evidence-based mental wellness, and faith-rooted community so women can return home to themselves.

Our first cohort

In January 2025, we served our first 20 women.

The In Vision Brunch launched Rest House with a founding cohort of 20 women, gathered for rest, resources, and restoration — and given early access to everything we build next.

Twenty women arrived carrying quiet weight — and found a table set, a prayer spoken, and no one asking them to perform.

The welcome

Each woman named what God is calling her toward this season, and left with resources and women committed to walking with her.

The visioning

Every prayer written that morning went into a gold box — prayed over by our team, and followed up on since.

The follow-through

Our impact

It began with 20 women and one table.

Our first In Vision Brunch served 20 women at no cost to them — rest, resources, and restoration in a single morning. Every dollar given today widens that table for the women still waiting.
