Our Approach
Biofeedback-based breathing techniques in your pocket
We work with naturopathic doctors and utilize biofeedback — a clinically-used mind-body tool — to put you in the driver's seat of your own wellbeing! Komi helps you learn about your body's signals and recommends breathing exercises that enhance your ability to self-regulate.
According to research, consistent breathing practice is reported to:
Reduce mental and physical manifestations of stress
By activating the body's relaxation response, diaphragmatic breathing can help to reduce muscle tension that may be contributing to chronic pain, headaches, and digestive problems. Reducing stress through breathing can also improve sleep and emotional regulation.
Increase focus, concentration, and productivity
Deep breathing increases flow of oxygen to the brain, which can make you feel more focused and alert! A consistent breathing practice also improves present moment awareness, helps you pay attention longer, and reduces disruption from distractions.
Improve overall health
Increasing relaxation reduces blood pressure, which improves circulation and overall heart health. Diphragmatic breathing also increases expansion of the lungs and improves respiratory function.
