Hi,
I’m Sami, mum, coach, and your calm in the chaos.
Hi, I’m Sami, founder of Chaos to Calm, mum, mental health advocate, and someone who’s been through more emotional storms than I can count.
If you’ve found your way here, you’re probably tired. Not just physically, but soul tired. That tiredness that comes from holding it all together while the person you love most is falling apart. I get it because I’ve lived it.
When my daughter’s mental health began to unravel, everything changed. Words like EUPD, trauma, and dysregulation became part of our everyday language. Hospitals, care plans, assessments, they all blurred into one long stretch of fear and waiting.
There were nights I sat outside her door just listening for her breathing, mornings I drove to visit her in units, and days where I smiled to the world while breaking inside.
For a long time, I felt like I was shouting into a void, trying to get help, to understand, to keep her safe. The truth is, the system doesn’t always catch you. And when it doesn’t, you have to find another way to stay standing.
That’s what Chaos to Calm became. Not a business, not a brand — a lifeline. A way to share what I’ve learned, to turn my pain into something that might make another mum’s path a little less lonely.
Now, I create resources, communities, and gentle tools to help you breathe again, even if it’s just for five minutes at a time. Because you matter too.
This space isn’t about pretending everything’s fine. It’s about finding a way through, one wave, one wobble, one bit of calm at a time.
How Chaos to Calm Began
Those moments: the Chaos, the Learning, and the Calm, became the heartbeat of Chaos to Calm.
It wasn’t born from textbooks or training manuals, but from a mum’s determination to keep her
child safe, seen, and supported.
Every tool I share, every story I tell, every resource I create comes from that same place, lived experience,
fierce love, and a refusal to give up.
This space is my way of turning pain into purpose.
It’s a reminder that even in the darkest moments,
there’s always a way forward and you don’t have to walk it alone.
🔵 The Chaos
When things first began to unravel for my daughter, it felt like living in constant crisis. Every day brought new fears, new words I didn’t understand, and a system that didn’t seem to have space for her. I was scared, angry, and exhausted, but I kept showing up, because that’s what mums do.
🔵 The Learning
Over time, I began to see the patterns, the triggers, the calm after the storms, and how much language and understanding matter. I discovered DBT, learned how to regulate my own emotions, and realised that supporting Sydni meant taking care of myself too. That’s when “chaos” started to shift into something I could begin to manage.
🔵 The Calm
Calm doesn’t mean everything’s perfect, it means we can breathe again. It’s quiet moments walking the dogs, laughing at something small, or simply not being afraid to face another day. That’s what I want for every mum who finds this space: a little more hope, a little more calm, and the reminder that you’re doing better than you think.
