How and why did Calme begin?

Calme is literally the French translation for Calm;  meaning to feel tranquil, quiet, soothed and without worry. Which seemed perfect of our interpretation to live well holistically.  Living well is important for our own mental and physical health and it often gets neglected or put as un-important,  It is a journey we are embarking on, one of wellness.  Part of living well is engaging in wellness activities such as walking in nature, playing a sport such as Padel or practicing Yoga, gardening, sleeping well, finding moments in everyday life which make us happy, planting a bee house, cooking nutritious and healthy meals, practicing gratitude and showing kindness to others. Each wellbeing journey is a personal one and we can support you to discover yours! 

 

Personally, I have always had a keen interest in Complimentary Therapies during my career and it was during following burnout that I realised what an impact it was having on my mental wellbeing. I then discovered Yoga. I attended a yoga class one evening and discovered the concept of 'self-compassion' This was very enlightening as I am a compassionate person towards others,  but in my journey of life failed to give this to myself.  It was a important turning point and I continued on this personal physical, emotional and spiritual journey attending yoga classes and it really enabled me to 'bloom from within'. I was so excited and wanted everyone that I knew, to know this beautiful practice as It helped me stay grounded when things became challenging or it helped me dispel negative thinking, I grew to love myself in a way, I never had before. I wanted to share this gift with others and decided to complete the 200hr Certified Yoga Teachers Training Course, so I spent many months trying to find a yoga teacher that aligned with my values and once found, then spent a year completing the 200hr training course and gained the certification.  I am currently studying MSc in Applied Positive Psychology at University, and will be going into my 2nd year as of October 2026. This moves away from traditional Psychology and seeks to explore what makes people flourish, thrive and promote hope, resilience and wellbeing.​
