The Chime and Calm Collective was created from lived experience.

After experiencing the long-term effects of emotional and mental coercion, and pursuing my own journey of recovery, I recognised the impact on my nervous system. It held stress, fear and hypervigilance deeply, even once I was 'safe'. Using sound, Reiki and meditation to develop regular self practice routines, I've felt lasting changes that lessen the fight-or-flight response. It's made a huge difference to how I'm living my life, moving from survival mode to feeling more like 'me' again.

My goal is to support others going through a similar journey of recovery, with what I've learned.
