About Us

Dear Reader,

Thank you for taking the time to read more about who we are. It is greatly appreciated. We all have our stories and I’d love to hear yours someday. In the meantime, here’s ours. My husband, Kevin, and I met when we were young – really young. By a prank call, no less. We fell in love and got married a month after my 18th birthday, in 2005. We’ve been partners in every aspect of life ever since. We’ve homeschooled our kids for years and we run Kevin’s web design and marketing company from home as well. We’re homebodies and we love it.

In 2016, we took the leap and moved 5 hours away from everything we knew, so that we could be closer to the ocean. Our happy place. We began to build the life that had been calling to us. One filled with acceptance, peace, and freedom. We slowly peeled back the layers of expectations, labels, and judgements put upon us by others and really embraced who we were, who we wanted to become, and the life we wanted to live. We found our sense of calm within ourselves and have leaned on that ever since.

This summer, after what started as a spark of bravery and excitement, Kevin and I started Calming Escape together. The healing energy crystals offer, paired with affirmations, intention-setting, and journaling has played a huge role in my own personal healing and growth over the past few years. The thought of offering that to others who are embarking on their own journey is heartwarming.

So, for the past six months, we have both poured our love, sweat, and creativity into this project. Designing, handpicking, website-building, photographing, recording, writing, etc. We’ve created this business from the ground up and are excited to finally share this labor of love with all of you. In support of you. ♥
