She was really thoughtful with how she responded to everyone’s questions and needs.”
Why Calmer?
As a Business NLP Practitioner, Mindfulness Teacher and Mental Health Trainer & First Aider, Tania is passionate about supporting entrepreneurs, freelancers and business teams to balance their mental wellbeing with business success.
By her late 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 recovery, she decided to explore the impact of stress and burnout on professionals, retrain in the field of mental health and wellbeing, and the concept of Calmer, her third business, was born.
At Calmer, Tania leads on training and facilitation and brings on board carefully selected experts in coaching, mental health training and business development, to deliver unique and meaningful training experiences for our clients.
