Creator of Respite Play™ | Holistic Life & Wellness Coach | Author

I guide women through gentle, body-based practices including sound therapy, creative healing, and restorative experiences, while also supporting families and communities who need more steadiness, connection, and room to breathe.

Together, we create space for clarity, meaningful change, and a return to yourself.

I’m Lillian Murray, creator of Respite Play™, holistic life and wellness coach, sound practitioner, author, and creative guide.

My work is rooted in lived experience, deep listening, and the belief that healing begins when we feel safe enough to slow down. I support women, families, and communities through creative practices, embodied presence, meaningful connection, and the restorative philosophy of Respite Play™.

I believe wellness doesn’t require perfection or urgency. It requires space, curiosity, compassionate care, and sometimes a little play.

A Life Rooted in Creativity, Presence & Care

Creativity, nature, and movement were my first languages of regulation. Long before I had words for nervous systems or embodied healing, I intuitively knew how to listen to energy, emotion, and the unspoken cues of the body.

Over time, this intuitive knowing blended with education, certification, and hands-on work with individuals and families. Today, my practice bridges science and soul — honoring both the measurable and the felt experience of being human.

Supporting Nervous System Regulation Through Sound & Embodiment

Much of my work centers on the nervous system — how it responds to stress, how it finds safety, and how it restores balance.

Through sound therapy, vibrational practices, creative expression, and presence-based coaching, I support clients in moving out of survival mode and into states of rest, clarity, and connection. My approach is gentle, trauma-aware, and deeply respectful of each person’s pace and lived experience.

Respite Play™: A Philosophy of Rest, Creativity & Renewal

Respite Play™ is my signature philosophy and way of working. It invites rest and creativity back into daily life — not as indulgences, but as essential practices for nervous system health.

Blending sound, art, reflection, and playful presence, Respite Play™ supports individuals and groups in reconnecting with joy, meaning, and embodied wellbeing. It is spacious, non-performative, and intentionally human.

Who I Work With

I work with individuals, women, families, and communities seeking a more sustainable and connected approach to wellness. My clients are often sensitive, creative, deeply caring, and ready to explore healing that honors both structure and intuition.

Whether through one-on-one sessions, sound therapy, women’s circles, or group experiences, my work meets people where they are — without pressure to fix or perform.

Serving Florida, North Carolina & Virtual Clients

I offer in-person sessions and gatherings in Florida and North Carolina, as well as virtual offerings for clients anywhere. Regardless of location, my work remains relational, grounded, and centered on trust and presence.
