Meet Our Leaders
Martha Stuart Williams, PhD
Martha is a seasoned healthcare executive, leadership coach, and purpose-driven guide who knows burnout—because she’s lived it.
Over the past two decades, Martha has led large-scale operations and transformation efforts across the healthcare industry, from startups to public and private equity-backed companies. She’s held executive roles including President, COO, Chief HR Officer and Chief Administrative
Officer, overseeing $500M+ organizations and teams of over 16,000 people. Behind the impressive titles and big numbers, though, is a woman who learned—sometimes the hard way—how vital it is to care for your mind, body, and spirit.
After walking through her own season of deep burnout, Martha began shifting her focus to helping others reclaim their energy, purpose, and joy. She now coaches leaders, high performing teams, and Division 1 student athletes, blending her background in leadership development, performance psychology, and cultural intelligence.
With a PhD in Human Resource & Leadership Development and a heart rooted in faith, Martha brings a rare mix of strategy, soul, and warmth to everything she does. She’s deeply passionate about creating spaces for women to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the life they’re meant to
live. At Rest & Restore, you’ll find a facilitator who keeps it real, leads with wisdom, and walks the journey right alongside you—with a whole lot of heart (and a little bit of humor, too).
Stacey Moore, MPA, RN
Stacey Moore is a seasoned nurse and clinical health leader who brings over 25 years of clinical expertise, executive leadership, and soulful insight to the work of helping women heal—inside and out.
With a career that spans critical care, nursing administration, functional wellness and healthcare entrepreneurship, Stacey has worn many hats—but her mission has always been the same: to empower people to feel whole, seen, and well. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a Master of Public Administration, where she focused on healthcare policy and administration.
Stacey has led at the intersection of evidence-based care and holistic healing, from launching statewide wellness initiatives for the Louisiana Department of Justice to serving as Chief Nursing Officer at a national wellness spa. She is a highly respected teacher, author, public speaker, and industry consultant.
But what sets Stacey apart isn’t just her impressive credentials. It’s her presence. She knows what burnout feels like and how hard it can be to pause. And she understands how to guide others to a place of rest and renewal—a reset, because she’s done it herself.
At Rest & Restore, Stacey brings her deep knowledge, nurturing spirit, steadfast faith and positive energy to help you reconnect with your body, release the pressure, and begin the process of healing.
