Our Story

We’re Donna and Sarah Daisy – mother and daughter, and the founders of Calm & Cool. Our journey began in a time of transition, when life felt heavy and uncertain. Seeking a deeper sense of calm, we found comfort in mindful practices like Yoga and Soundbaths.

These practices offered us moments of stillness that helped us slow down and reconnect within. It was a way for us to stay close and grounded as we moved through life’s challenges together.

We now want to share that with you! Calm & Cool was born so that you too can feel supported and grounded as you go through the ebbs and flow of life.

A Shared Purpose

We believe that no matter your story, you are worthy of living a life beyond your fears and limitations. Living a life full of purpose, joy, and peace. We are here not just as practitioners, but as people still evolving and growing with lots of compassion and understanding as we share our wisdom, experience, and presence to guide you back to your own inner strength.

Let this be your space to reconnect, to grow, and to remember who you truly are.

Our Philosophy

We know healing doesn’t happen through force. It happens through softness, presence, and connection. Our approach is gentle, from the heart and inclusive for all. We create space for you to feel held, seen, and supported, whether you’re joining a weekly class, a private session, or an event.

Our Mission

At Calm & Cool, our mission is to create a safe and nurturing space for people to slow down, connect within, and find inner peace. We believe in the power of community, compassion, and presence.

Our intention is to support you in living a more meaningful life rooted in joy, gratitude, and kindness.
