Calm & Centered exists to make nervous system regulation simple, accessible, and shared across generations. Through coloring, guided journaling, and in-person community programming, we help women and girls — from age 7 to 100 — build lifelong tools for calm, resilience, and connection.

Calm & Centered began with a simple observation: anxiety and nervous system dysregulation show up early, often as young as elementary school, and rarely get addressed with tools that are gentle, creative, and easy to return to. We created a coloring and journal book designed specifically around nervous system regulation — and quickly realized the book worked best as part of something bigger: real community, real conversations, and real practice.

Today, Calm & Centered operates as a program of It Starts With Us Foundation, International, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 93-4736970). This means gifts to Calm & Centered are tax-deductible, and our work is grounded in the Foundation's broader charitable and educational mission.
