For Families
The Calm Home Reset, a science-backed program for busy women who want to turn their home into a place that restores the family, not exhausts it.

I help busy women, schools, and organisations create environments that restore the nervous system, support focus and recovery, and turn everyday spaces into a quiet engine for wellbeing, without renovations.
I believe the spaces we live in are shaping our stress, health, focus, and emotional wellbeing every single day, and most people were never taught how powerful their environment truly is.
The Work
Whether the room is a kitchen, a classroom, or a corporate boardroom, the same nervous system rules apply. The work changes the room, and the room changes the people in it.
The Calm Home Reset, a science-backed program for busy women who want to turn their home into a place that restores the family, not exhausts it.
Explore the Reset →Keynotes and professional learning days that show educators and leaders how the classroom is regulating, or dysregulating, every student in it.
Speaking for schools →Keynotes for leadership and team training days, the wellbeing layer underneath your engagement scores, retention numbers, and performance.
Speaking for organisations →The Book
Twenty years of designing learning environments for children, including award-winning facilities for neurodivergent students, distilled into a practical, evidence-based guide for educators, parents, and anyone who shapes the spaces children grow up in.
The book draws on research from Harvard's Schools for Health initiative, the University of Salford's HEAD Project, and Heschong Mahone's daylight studies, alongside two decades of in-classroom observation.
Keynote Speaking
Most workplace and school wellbeing programs focus on what people do, movement, mindset, mindfulness. Very few address what is being done to them, hour by hour, by the spaces they sit in.
Available in three formats: a leadership keynote, a team or educator training day, and a parent wellbeing keynote.

Real Support for Raising Calm, Carefree Children
"The benefits of this book begin as soon as you open to the first page. The colours, the layout, just sitting and taking in the wisdom offered by Etienny Trindade, it feels calming and nurturing. I wish I'd had it in my home as I raised my 3 daughters. The depth of knowledge and passion for children's wellbeing is so evident. No stone is left unturned in giving us the insight and tools to provide environments where our little ones can be supported in being wholeheartedly themselves. Sincerely, thank you Etienny."Di Russell · Verified Amazon Purchase, Australia · April 2026
Helpful advice for designing children's spaces
"A fantastic resource for parents wanting to design a healthy space for their children. My children are 10, 3 and 1 and I still learned quite a lot from this book and have already made some changes to my children's rooms as a result. A great easy read and easy to implement simple changes."Elizabeth Santos · Verified Amazon Purchase, Australia · September 2025
