A story told honestly, because honesty is where the real work begins.
My Story Conscious Calm™ didn’t start as a business idea — it started as the only explanation that ever made sense of my own life. I grew up in a home where violence and fear were normal, where love had to be earned through performance, and where the people meant to keep me safe were the ones causing harm. I learned early to survive by fighting, achieving, and staying in control, and I carried that pattern into adulthood without knowing it was a pattern at all: into a punishing work ethic that nearly cost me my health in my twenties, into a marriage that echoed the very dynamics I’d sworn I’d never repeat, into a mistrust of people that quietly shaped every relationship I had. At nineteen, my brother’s death broke something open in me that achievement could never touch, and for years afterward I kept functioning, kept succeeding, while carrying pain I didn’t have words for. The shift came not from trying harder, but from discovering that the patterns running my life weren’t my fault, weren’t fixed, and weren’t even fully conscious — they were beliefs laid down in early childhood that my adult self had never questioned. Learning to work with the subconscious directly, rather than just the behaviour on top of it, is what finally let me release decades of fear, mistrust, and self-abandonment. I raised three children alone in a country with no family nearby, broke a generational pattern of harm in the process, and built a life defined by the peace I’d never been shown how to have. Conscious Calm™ exists because I am living proof that a person can look composed, capable, and successful on the outside while quietly white-knuckling their way through life — and that the way out isn’t more willpower, it’s awareness. I teach what I had to find for myself, the hard way, with no map.
For over sixteen years I have guided thousands of women — and many wonderful men — through this same process. My Northern German honesty means I cut to the chase. My lived experience means I never ask you to go anywhere I haven't already been.
I'm Catrin Jacksties — founder of Conscious Calm™, intuitive mentor, and consciousness teacher. I grew up with domestic violence and abuse, and for a long time I carried those family patterns quietly into my own life, until I realised I was passing them on. That moment of clarity changed everything.
Living alone in a foreign country with three children and no support network, I devoted myself to two things: raising my kids and finding a method that actually worked. Not another book half-read on the nightstand. Not another course opened four times. Something that reached the patterns underneath — the nervous-system reactions, the inherited stories, the exhaustion that no amount of self-care language ever seemed to touch. I found the Conscious Calm™ method, and I have never looked back.
What drives me is simple: I know what it costs to stay stuck, and I know what becomes possible when you don't. Over sixteen years I have helped thousands of women — and many wonderful men — release the fear, guilt and shame that keep them small, so they can show up present, clear and genuinely themselves. That is what Conscious Calm™ is built to do for you.

Supporting women to move from exhaustion and reactivity to clarity and calm
You are carrying stories, nervous-system reactions and family patterns that once helped you survive — but now keep you small and exhausted. The Conscious Calm™ method works at the level where those patterns actually live, so change is real and lasting, not just intellectual.
I explain complex concepts in plain language and give you clear, honest directives you can use the same day. My intention is for this method to become part of who you are — woven into your everyday life, not saved for a retreat or a crisis.
Willpower and mindset tips rarely shift what is unconscious. The Conscious Calm™ method works in the quantum energy field to release the emotional load underneath your reactions — the impatience, the sleeplessness, the feeling you can't switch off — so calm becomes your natural state, not a goal you chase.
