Owner Chief Relaxation Officer

Welcome to Calm and Sense. I’m delighted you are visiting our Web site. If you live in the Raleigh, NC area I hope you will stop by the store but if you don’t, I hope this site can be useful to you in finding ways to reduce your stress and reach relaxation.

People have been asking me how I came to open a store focusing on stress relief, relaxation, and a healthier life. As a refugee of over 25 years of corporate life, I was ready to start a new chapter—something about reaching an age milestone and being laid off all within 12 months does tend to empower oneself! Because of my experience working in large corporations, as well as raising two boys and being involved in my community, I also knew something about how stress impacts the body and the soul. So I decided to manage my own destiny and open a store that helps others cope with life’s stresses. In fact, the title I chose for my business cards is not Store Owner, but Chief Relaxation Officer.

I’ll be posting blogs on this site and you can find me in the store most days. I would love to hear from you, whether to get your reactions to the products we are carrying, or to suggest additional relaxation ideas. I believe our customers are a wonderful source of shared wisdom and I look forward to the journey with you.
