Roho means "spirit" in Swahili.
Michelle, a successful DEI consultant, was carrying the weight of resistance work—and it was taking a toll. The upheaval of 2024, especially the emotional impact of the presidential election, made one truth undeniable: rest wasn’t optional. Women everywhere were voicing the same truth, echoing movements like “Radical Self-Care” and mantras like “Rest is Resistance.”
In the midst of this chaos, Michelle felt a divine nudge—a vision for something deeply needed: a sanctuary where women could let it go... if only for ten minutes.
Roho Rest was the answer—an intentional space born from the belief that women deserve to lay it all down, without apology. A space not for fixing, achieving, or performing—but simply for being.
