Hi, I'm Barbara.
I started Calm by Design because I know what it feels like when your home works against you. I'm not naturally tidy, but I've learned to work within the constraints of my home to make it work for me.
With over 14 years in habit and systems coaching, I bring a practical, judgment-free approach to every space I work in.
