A Little About Me

Hi, I’m Sami,

founder of Chaos to Calm.

Mum. Mental health advocate. Fierce protector of my daughter. And a woman who knows what it feels like to live in emotional chaos and desperately crave calm.

Why Chaos to Calm?

Because I’ve been there.

My daughter was diagnosed with EUPD (Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder), also known as BPD — a condition rooted in deep trauma. But that was just one part of the picture. Alongside emotional dysregulation, she also lives with complex physical and other mental health challenges, making daily life unpredictable, exhausting, and, at times, terrifying.

Nothing prepares you for that kind of rollercoaster. The fear. The outbursts. The guilt. The silence. The endless appointments. The systems that don’t join up. And the crushing loneliness that creeps in at 3am, when you're lying awake wondering if you’re doing enough or if you're getting it all horribly wrong.

That’s why Chaos to Calm exists.

Not to fix everything, because some things can’t be fixed, but to offer what I so desperately needed back then:

Understanding

Practical tools

Real talk

And a space where mums of emotionally dysregulated young adults don’t feel so alone

What I Offer

I support mums who are navigating life alongside a young adult with emotional dysregulation, BPD, or trauma-based behaviours. I understand how the lines blur between loving them and losing yourself, and how vital it is to find solid ground when everything feels unstable.

Through Chaos to Calm, you’ll find:

*Workshops, resources, and support that actually make sense in real life

*Guidance that’s trauma-informed, practical, and heart-led

*A compassionate community of women who just get it

*And a coach (that’s me) who’s walked this road and won’t ever judge you for struggling

A Bit About Me

I’m based in Yorkshire, where the humour’s dry and the people are real, a bit like me.

I’ve got two daft but loveable dogs, Keira and Biscuit, who are a constant source of muddy paws and emotional support.

When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me walking on the beach, binge-watching murder mysteries, or enjoying a glass of wine with some gloriously rubbish telly.

But more than anything, I’m a mum. And my daughter, her resilience, her chaos, her strength, is the reason Chaos to Calm exists.

From overwhelm to understanding. From chaos to calm and probably round again!

Florists are experts in helping you choose the right flowers based on the theme, colors, and style of your event. They consider factors like the season, budget, and personal preferences. By discussing your vision and needs, a florist can recommend flowers that align with your aesthetic and convey the desired emotions.

How far in advance should I place an order with a florist?
