About Ministry of Calm
Our mission
We believe that space can heal. Poorly designed, cluttered spaces are negative and destructive forces in our lives, draining rather than supporting us. Beautiful, calming and uplifting spaces can enhance our lives and improve our wellbeing.
Our mission is to ensure that everyone has access to quiet and healing spaces where they can pause and recharge, wherever and whenever they need.
We transform cluttered, poorly designed or under utilised spaces into beautiful places that uplift people and restore their wellbeing. We do this by helping people find space in their lives, by creating room for mindfulness and the rituals that give them meaning, and by designing places that revitalise them at home and work or help them heal at challenging times.

In her work on quiet rooms Helen has recognised the value of providing a special place to retreat to that facilitates the journey into stillness, contemplation or mediation and now offers sacred spaces for the home, meditation or yoga rooms.
Helen set up her professional organising business in 2008, having worked as a professional declutterer, personal organiser and coach for over ten years.
