About GoCalm

Making sensory support more accessible, one community at a time.

GoCalm was created with a simple belief: everyone deserves access to practical sensory support whenever and wherever they need it.

As an initiative of Fidget Dash, GoCalm combines thoughtfully curated sensory products, accessible technology, and fully managed support stations to help organizations create calmer, more welcoming environments for people of every age and ability.

Our Mission

Support should be part of every public space.

Our mission is to make sensory regulation, comfort, and emotional wellbeing as accessible as water fountains or first aid stations in public spaces.

We believe that simple, thoughtfully designed solutions can help reduce anxiety, encourage emotional regulation, and create more inclusive experiences for patients, visitors, commuters, families, students, employees, and community members.

By making sensory support readily available, organizations can demonstrate a meaningful commitment to accessibility, dignity, and inclusion.

Meet Our Founder

Antonietta Vivanco

Founder, GoCalm Support Stations

Antonietta Vivanco founded GoCalm through Fidget Dash with a vision to make sensory support more accessible in everyday public environments.

Working alongside therapists, rehabilitation centres, hospitals, inclusive community organizations, educators, and families, she recognized that many individuals experience moments of anxiety, sensory overload, or emotional dysregulation while navigating public spaces. Yet practical sensory tools were rarely available when they were needed most.

That realization inspired GoCalm.

Through ongoing collaboration with healthcare professionals, accessibility advocates, and community partners, Antonietta has helped develop a practical sensory support solution grounded in real-world experience, empathy, and inclusive design.

Today, GoCalm Support Stations are helping organizations create calmer, more welcoming environments by providing immediate access to thoughtfully curated sensory products that promote comfort, focus, self-regulation, and emotional wellbeing.
