This Is for You If… 🌿
You keep landing in the same painful places in your relationships.
Different people, different circumstances, but the same arguments, the same hurt, the same feeling of here we go again
Your mind won't stop running worst-case scenarios.
You've tried to think your way out of the anxiety and worry, but your nervous system hasn't gotten the message.
Life has changed, and you need to change with it.
A divorce, a loss, a career shift, an empty nest, and the old version of you no longer fits the life in front of you.
You're in the habit of being yourself (hat tip to Dr. Joe Dispenza), and you don't love the results.
We all run on patterns wired in long ago. You're ready to update the ones that no longer serve you.
You feel stuck, and you're ready for something different.
You know how you want to feel. You just haven't found a way to get there that actually lasts.
If you nodded at even one of these, let's talk. In your free Soul Strategy Session, we'll explore what's keeping you stuck and whether rREST is the right path forward for you. 💫
Meet Dr. Cindy Sholes
The woman behind a neuroscience-based technique that targets the root of stress.
I’m Dr. Cindy Sholes—a neuroscientist and transformational guide. I created rREST®, a proven method for reprogramming emotional stress at the subconscious level.
Through my approach, I help women identify and heal the root causes of perfectionism, anxiety, and chronic overwhelm. After each session, my goal is for clients to feel a sense of calm and clarity, connect with their purpose, and experience life as a flow of fulfillment and creative energy.
When you stop managing symptoms and begin the trauma processing work at the root, your life shifts for the better, and everything else follows through.

Hey, I wanted to explain what rREST does in terms that you will respect and understand.
Every time you react strongly, like frustration, embarrassment, or self-criticism, your brain is running an old program. It’s a program that was built to protect you when you were younger. That program lives deep in your subconscious mind, mostly in your limbic system, in your cerebellum, and it fires automatically before your logical brain even gets a chance to vote.
In neuroscience, we call this a memory trace or an engram, and it’s not a bad thing. It’s just outdated code that your brain never got around to debugging.
In a rREST session, we find where that code first got written, when those neurons first fired together and wired together. Then, using specific techniques, we help your brain reprocess that pattern by linking it up to the prefrontal cortex, the part that is handles logic, reasoning, and choice.
The result? The same situation might happen, but your emotional brain doesn’t get hijacked by your logical one anymore. You stay calm and clear and in control because your brain has literally rewired the old loop. That’s rREST, neuroscience for emotional optimization.
Real Client Experiences with rRest
For 3 months prior to seeing Dr. Sholes, I was having severe insomnia. I tried OTC medications and herbs but there was no significant relief. I started to get results with Cindy after the first visit. Now my sleep has been restored.

I am amazed by the results I have seen in my wife since she has been coming to Mind Wave Institute. I feel like I have the old Suzanne back but SUPERCHARGED. We are able to work happily and easily together in our family business. And, because of her newly energized contribution, we are seeing even greater success in our already successful business! She says that now that the blocks have been removed and the depression lifted, she is able to be more present and joyful with life.

“As someone deeply involved in coaching and exploring various modalities like energy work and mindfulness, I was fortunate to discover rREST through Dr. Cindy Sholes. Working with Dr. Sholes was eye-opening. She helped me uncover how childhood perceptions of danger and pain were shaping my adult life. Her guidance with rREST showed me that true strength comes from letting go, not from carrying past burdens. One of the most valuable lessons I learned was about my emotional connection to coaching women. Dr. Sholes helped me see that my passion for empowering women may have roots in childhood experiences. Her approach helped me untangle these emotions and gain clarity.
Thanks to Dr. Sholes, I’ve been able to release old patterns and move forward with a clearer perspective. I’m grateful for her expertise and compassionate support.”
– Renatta T.
Wow! So beautiful taking this journey with Dr. Sholes. As I have never done this before, I was very open minded with meeting her and experiencing her process. She is so kind and understanding. She is truly compassionate and listens to me . She reached deep areas within myself that I have never been taken before and never felt before. She brought out raw emotions and feelings within my chest that have been buried for so long. The feeling of releasing my past and bringing up traumatic experiences that I never knew existed in my life and being able to let them go, is the most humbling experience. I never thought my past had so much impact on my life today. Her way of releasing is a slow, gentle healing process for your mind, body and soul. It has brought me closer with my spiritual side. It has given me more passion and purpose in life. Thank you so much Dr. Sholes for freeing my mind, body and soul❤️
