The Story Behind Calming Viggo
A mum, a nurse, and a boy named Viggo.
“Every product in this store is chosen with care — based on what I would buy for my own son.”
— Kristina, Founder & Mum
Hi, I’m Kristina
I’m a registered nurse working in aged care, and a full-time mum to a wonderful boy named Viggo. Viggo is on the autism spectrum, and from early on I found myself searching for sensory tools and calming aids that could help him feel safe, focused, and happy — and coming up mostly empty-handed.
At the same time, I noticed something at work. Many of the tools we used in aged care to help residents with anxiety, restlessness, and sensory needs were remarkably similar to what helped Viggo thrive. Fidget tools, weighted items, tactile toys — the connection was impossible to ignore.
That’s when Calming Viggo was born.
Why Calming Viggo Exists
I started this store because I couldn’t find everything Viggo needed in one place — products that were genuinely effective, thoughtfully designed, and worth the investment. I wanted a shop I could trust. So I built one.
Every single product at Calming Viggo is hand-selected by me, personally. If I wouldn’t buy it for Viggo, it doesn’t make it into the store. That’s my promise to you.
Chosen by a Mum
Every product is personally selected based on real experience with a child on the spectrum.
Backed by Clinical Care
As a registered nurse, I understand sensory needs across all ages — from children to elderly residents.
Trusted & Tested
No filler products. If it’s here, it’s because it genuinely works and I believe in it.
Who We’re Here For
Calming Viggo is for parents who are navigating the same journey I am — looking for tools that actually help, from someone who actually gets it. It’s also for occupational therapists, educators, and aged care professionals who need reliable, effective sensory resources.
You don’t have to figure it all out alone. I’ve done the searching so you don’t have to.
Our Mission
To make it easier for families, therapists, and carers to find sensory tools that truly calm, engage, and support — chosen with the same love and care as if they were for our own.
Thank you for being here. Whether you’re a parent, a therapist, or a carer — I see you, and I’m so glad you found us.
With love,
Kristina & Viggo 💕
