She was really thoughtful with how she responded to everyone’s questions and needs.”
Why Calmer?
In her mid-twenties, Tania had launched and developed two successful businesses in the dance and international events industries. During the launch year of the latter, she took on greater responsibilities and challenges, which had a huge impact on her mental health and wellbeing, resulting in burnout and panic attacks.
Inspired by her experience and journey of learning how to manage her mental health in a way that works for her, she decided to explore the impact of stress and burnout on professionals, retrain in the field of mental health and burnout prevention, and the concept of Calmer, her third business, was born.
What sets us apart isn’t just our professional credentials and long-standing reputation - it’s also the lived experience, turning real-world insight into practical, meaningful results your team can actually use every day.
The Calmer team are passionate about working with business owners and their teams to sustain performance, through proactively reducing burnout risk and strengthening mental resilience. This results in higher productivity, improved retention, and happier, healthier teams.
At Calmer, Tania leads on training and facilitation and brings on board carefully selected experts to deliver unique and meaningful training experiences for our clients.
