Two women who got a bit obsessed with a wooden ball
Calm Companion began with a viral labour-support product and a simple realisation: people need something to hold onto. Turns out, that need doesn't stop at birth.
People don't realise they need it — until they try it.
We know Calm Companion will earn its place in your handbag, your pocket, your desk drawer and your glovebox—and we think you'll wonder how you ever managed without it.
Jess & Mikaelah
Jess is a registered midwife. Mikaelah is a primary teacher and photographer. Together, they're also mums, navigating the mental load of everyday life.
After creating Your Birth Weapon™ to support women through labour, they began hearing the same story over and over again. People weren't just reaching for it during birth—they were using it through blood tests, MRI scans, tattoo appointments, moments of anxiety, sensory overwhelm and stressful days at work.
It became clear that what started as a birth tool had become something much bigger.
So Calm Companion was born: the same simple acupressure concept, reimagined and rebranded for everyday life. A tool for anyone, anywhere, whenever they need a little extra grounding.
