Our Story

The Calm Sea Co. was birthed out of a place of passion, drive, and a desire to help others. We are sisters-in-law and we have both had our own mental health journeys! We decided to create an apparel brand that would bring awareness and support to those seeking mental wellness. Calm Sea Co. desires that those who are experiencing mental suffering would be reminded that Jesus is our hope, our peace, and our answer to all of life's un-answerable questions! When we struggle with mental wellness, our first instinct is to isolate, thinking that no one else could understand. Thinking that you have to be ashamed of your struggles. This is NOT the truth! Our desire is that the Calm Sea Co. would be a stepping stone to help guide people to Jesus' feet and to be a reminder that you are not alone in this journey or in life!

You are one of us! Welcome to the family!

Hi there! My name is Kayla and I am the Co-Founder and Designer behind our Calm Sea Co. brand! My family consists of my amazing husband Max and cat 'Tiny.' Over the past year, I have dealt with a variety of physical health issues that have seriously affected my mental health as well. After a lot of prayer and encouragement from my husband, I came to my sister-in-law with the vision and desire to bring awareness to the importance of our mental wellness and how Jesus brings us strength in our fight to stay well. We believe bringing fears, pain, anxiety and stress out in the open as well as everyone's unique faith journey allows us to gain strength from one another. Jesus came in to the world and formed a community. I believe he intended for us to lean on each other rather than walk through our trials alone.

Hello lovely! My name is Hannah and i am the Co-Founder and Wordsmith of the Calm Sea Company! I met my husband, Alex, while attending ministry school where I graduated with a degree in Worship Ministry. Music and the Creative Arts are my life and passion! In 2016, my life began to shift after I recieved a diagnosis of PTSD and began struggling with panic attacks and severe anxiety. Then in 2020, two major events occured in my life. I became a first time mom to our sweet boy Rowan, and I was diagnosed with OCD.

Since being diagnosed with two anxiety disorders, Jesus has put a deep passion in my heart for those navigating anxiety, depression, and any mental health diagnosis (both inside and outside of the Church.) I have felt shame & isolation, pain, confusion, anger, and fear in a very real way these past 7 years, and I want others to know that there is HOPE! Jesus is our Hope. He knows you, He sees you, and you can count on Him!

Jesus is our HOPE.
