Why I Started Calming Viggo: A Mother’s Journey of Purpose and Possibility

Hi, I'm Kristina—full-time registered nurse, full-time mum, and now, the proud founder of Calming Viggo. This little store is more than just a business. It’s a reflection of my heart, my hopes, and my journey with my son Viggo.

🌈 It All Started with Viggo

Viggo is my beautiful, curious, and sensitive boy. Like many children on the autism spectrum, he experiences the world in a unique and vibrant way. I’ve spent countless hours searching for toys and tools that truly support his sensory needs—things that help him feel calm, focused, and joyful.

But I often found myself asking:

“Why is it so hard to find products that actually work for our kids?”

That question planted the seed for Calming Viggo.

From Nurse to Nurturer of Calm

As a registered nurse working full-time in aged care, I’ve seen firsthand how sensory tools and calming activities can transform someone’s day—whether they’re 8 or 80. Many of the items used in our facility for residents’ activities are surprisingly similar to what helps Viggo thrive.

This gave me confidence. I realized I already knew what works. I just needed to bring it together in one place.

Why Dropshipping?

I wanted to try dropshipping because:

I need flexibility as a working mum.

I want to earn extra income to support my family.

I believe in taking chances—especially when they might help my son.

Yes, I know there are many stores with similar niches. But Calming Viggo is different. It’s personal. Every product I choose is something I would buy for Viggo. Something I believe in. Something I’ve seen work.

💖 What You’ll Find in My Store

Sensory toys that soothe and engage

Educational tools that support learning without pressure

Calming aids that help kids feel safe and regulated

Motor skill builders that are fun and functional

I’m not here to sell everything—I’m here to offer only what I trust.


🌟 Taking All the Chances

Starting Calming Viggo is my way of taking all the chances that might help my son and increase our family’s income. It’s a leap of faith, but it’s one filled with love, purpose, and hope.

If you’re a parent, caregiver, or educator looking for tools that truly support neurodivergent kids, I invite you to explore my store. Every item is chosen with care, and every purchase helps me continue this journey—not just for Viggo, but for families like ours.

Thank you for being here. 💙
