When you're overwhelmed, “just calm down” doesn't work.
Stress lives in the body — a tight chest, a racing mind, a strange numbness. Talking yourself out of it rarely helps. What does help is gently working with your body to tell your nervous system it's safe. That's what Soma is built to do.
How it works
Three taps to a calmer body
No journaling streaks, no pressure. Open the app, and it meets you exactly where you are.
-
01
Tell it how you feel
Pick what's strongest right now — anxiety, numbness, self-criticism, or “not sure.” No quiz, no account needed to start.
-
02
Get a matched practice
Soma calibrates to your state and pace, then hands you one practice — not an endless library to scroll.
-
03
Follow it step by step
Clear, gentle guidance one step at a time. Move at your own pace and pause whenever you need to.
Why Soma
Designed to actually feel different
Reconnect with your body
Body scans and somatic tracking to come back from numbness and feel present again — at your own pace.
Be gentler with yourself
Self-compassion practices that quiet the inner critic and help shame loosen its grip.
Trauma-informed by design
Practices are gently paced and safety-rated, with cautious options for tender moments. You're always in control.
A few minutes, not an hour
Short sessions built for real-life days — between meetings, before bed, or in the middle of a hard moment.
Quiet by design
No streaks, no badges, no noisy notifications. Just a calm space that respects your attention.
Personalized every time
It adapts to the day you're having
You're not the same every day, so Soma doesn't treat you that way. Each session starts by asking how you feel and what would help most — then matches the practice, pace, and intensity to your current state.
- Matched to your emotional state, not a generic plan
- Choose to calm down, reconnect, or be kinder to yourself
- Gentle intensity that meets you where you are

FAQ
Good questions
What is a somatic practice?
Somatic practices work through the body — breath, attention, gentle movement, and relaxation — to calm your nervous system. Instead of analyzing your thoughts, you give your body signals of safety, which is often a faster route to relief.
Do I need any experience?
None at all. Every practice is guided one step at a time, and Soma starts gently. If you've never meditated or done breathwork, you'll feel right at home.
Is this therapy?
No. Soma is a self-help wellness tool built on trauma-informed, body-based methods. It can be a wonderful companion to therapy, but it isn't a replacement for professional care or a crisis service. If you're in crisis, please contact local emergency services.
How long does a session take?
Most practices take just a few minutes. They're designed to fit into real life — a quick reset between meetings, or a way to wind down before bed.
How does the free trial work?
You get full access free for 3 days. We'll remind you before it ends, and you can cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings — you won't be charged if you cancel before the trial is over.
Which devices are supported?
Soma is launching on iPhone first. Join us at launch to be among the first to try it.
