The name “Calm Catalyst” was a deliberate choice, reflecting the essence of Erin’s vision. “Calm” signifies stillness, tranquility, and a sense of quiet amidst the storm. “Catalyst” represents a force of positive change without undergoing a permanent transformation itself. This duality resonates deeply with Erin’s philosophy: to be a catalyst in people’s lives, offering selfless help, guidance, and inspiration both professionally and personally.

At Calm Catalyst, our mission is to empower individuals to find that sense of calm within, to inspire positive changes, and to make life’s journey more fulfilling and better. We invite you to be a part of this transformative journey with us. Every page in our products are an opportunity for growth.

In 2016, from the humble confines of our one-car garage in Topeka, Kansas, Curb Appeal Power Wash was born. We had a simple goal: to clean up our community one project at a time. We had a guiding principle I learned from serving in the US Army Reserves: “You never get ahead by doing the minimum.” As we began to solve more problems for residential and commercial customers, we started adding wash technicians to serve our customer’s needs.

We would send wash crews from Wichita to Kansas City to clean up parks and playgrounds, parking garages, and commercial properties. We learned by working in all temperatures and long days to complete our customers’ goals that our guiding principle became a badge of honor: Wash On.

The principle became a slogan, “Even when the situation may not be ideal, we have been given a talent and called to a mission, so Wash On.”

From wash trucks, Christmas lights installers, and gutter installers, we remain steadfast in our resolve to Wash On, affirming our dedication to excellence and service to the community.

8 Iron Therapy

Matt Vanderpool has golfed since childhood.  Playing courses throughout the East Coast and Midwest, golf has always been his “therapy”.  Kansas weather is notoriously unpredictable, and a regular golf season typically only spans 6 to 7 months.  In his office on a cloudy October day, pining for the course, Matt had the idea for an indoor golf facility.  His career in technology, as well as advanced education (BIS and MIS, plus the decade of military training), provided him the background and experience to open 8 Iron Therapy.
