When the day piles up, make a little room to breathe

Stress has a way of filling every corner. A slow breath, a few quiet minutes or a steady sound won’t clear your to-do list — but many people find it helps them meet the day with a bit more space.

  • Breathing in 1, 3 or 5 minutes
  • Therapy sessions $20 each
Meditations and breathing in the app: box breathing, 4-7-8 calm and slow exhale, plus morning grounding, anxiety relief, body scan and sleep wind-down.

How the app can help

Short pauses for full days

You can’t always change what’s causing the pressure. But you can take a few minutes in the middle of it — and many people find that changes how the rest of the day feels.

Breathing · 4·7

Slow exhale

Breathe in for four and out for seven, following a calm circle. A longer out-breath can help you slow down when everything feels rushed.

Meditation · 5 min

Morning grounding

Five minutes to arrive in your day before the messages and the list take over.

Meditation · 12 min

Body scan

Travel slowly from head to toe and notice where you’re holding on — shoulders, jaw, hands. Just noticing can help you let go a little.

Sounds · Calm, Sleep, Focus

Wellbeing sounds

Ocean waves, rainfall, crickets at night, white noise. Loops that keep playing while you rest, read or work.

Journal · Private

Free write & Gratitude

Get it all out of your head with a free write, or take three minutes for Gratitude. Your journal is private to you.

Therapy · $20 a session

A therapist, when it’s too much

Choose “Anxiety & stress” when you request a session in the app, and our care team matches you with a licensed therapist.

How therapy works

Try this now

A longer out-breath

About a minute, anywhere — at your desk, in a queue, in the car before you walk in. No one needs to know you’re doing it.

  1. Drop your shoulders

    Let them fall away from your ears. Unclench your jaw and let your hands rest.

  2. In for four, out for seven

    Breathe in gently through your nose for a count of four, then breathe out slowly for about seven.

  3. Repeat five to ten times

    If seven feels long, just make the out-breath a little longer than the in-breath. That’s the part that matters.

Go gently

If you feel light-headed, stop and breathe normally. In the app, Slow exhale guides you through the same 4·7 pattern with a calm circle to follow.

When to talk to someone

When stress starts to spill over

Stress is part of life, but it isn’t meant to be constant. If it’s following you home, keeping you up at night, or wearing on your health or relationships, talking to a licensed therapist may help you untangle it. You don’t have to be at breaking point to ask.

$20 a session, paid when you book

How therapy works

In crisis right now?

Therapy through the app isn’t emergency care. If you’re in crisis or immediate danger, call your local emergency number, or find a helpline near you.

Questions

Stress, answered

I only have a couple of minutes. Is it worth it?

It can be. Breathing exercises in the app come in 1, 3 or 5 minutes, and Morning grounding takes five. Many people find that a short pause they actually take does more for them than a long one they keep putting off.

Do I need Premium?

No. The free plan includes box breathing, daily mood check-ins, limited journaling, a taste of everything else, and you can book therapy sessions at $20 each. Premium unlocks the full meditation and breathing library, all wellbeing sounds and unlimited journaling — $12.99/month, or $69.99/year (save 50%). Compare plans.

Can I talk to a therapist about stress?

Yes. You don’t need a diagnosis or a crisis to ask for support. When you request a session, choose “Anxiety & stress” as your focus — or “Not sure yet” — and our care team takes it from there. Each session is $20, paid when you book.
