Description
Baseline helps you regulate your nervous system in real time so you can return to yourself when stress takes over. It isn’t another meditation app or a streak to maintain. Baseline is for the exact moments when your mind is racing, foggy, overwhelmed, or shut down — the moments when you can’t think your way out of stress.
What Baseline is
Baseline is a somatic, science-informed nervous system regulation app. It gives you short, guided tools that match your current state and help your body downshift so your prefrontal cortex — the part of your brain that thinks clearly — can come back online. Instead of asking you to remember strategies when you're overloaded, Baseline meets you where you are and walks you through one simple reset.
Who it’s for
Baseline is designed for people who function at a high level but feel dysregulated underneath, including:
• Professionals who feel “always on”
• Founders, managers, and leaders navigating constant demands
• Sensitive or neurodivergent nervous systems
• People who freeze, shut down, or spiral under stress
• Anyone who knows tools in theory but can’t access them when it matters
If meditation apps never worked for you or felt like “another thing to do,” Baseline is built with you in mind.
How it works
1. Check in with your state
A quick, low-effort check-in helps you identify what your nervous system is doing right now — wired, overwhelmed, foggy, scattered, shut down, etc.
2. Get one matched tool
Based on your state, Baseline suggests a short somatic practice. Tools draw from:
• Breath and pacing
• Orientation and sensory grounding
• Micro-movements and muscle activation
• Gentle self-contact and body awareness
Each reset is 1–3 minutes and fully guided so you don’t have to think or plan.
3. Feel the shift
After each tool, you can notice what changed — tension, breath, clarity, emotional intensity. Over time, you’ll build the ability to return to a steadier baseline more quickly.
Key features
• State-based check-in with minimal cognitive load
• 2–3 minute somatic resets for real-life moments — between meetings, after hard conversations, before sleep
• Personal “My Baseline” toolkit to save your favorite practices
• Short science notes explaining why each tool works
• Gentle, optional reminders without pressure or gamification
• Simple reflections to help you notice nervous system patterns over time
What makes Baseline different
• Somatic-first: works with the body, not just thoughts
• In-the-moment: usable during real overwhelm
• Low cognitive load: no big menus or decision fatigue
• Non-performative: no streaks, badges, or pressure
• Created by a therapist with a background in neuroscience and somatic practice
Baseline makes regulation possible in the middle of real life — at work, on the sofa after a long day, before an important call, or when you wake up already tense.
What Baseline doesn’t do
Baseline is a wellbeing app, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, or cure medical or mental health conditions, nor does it replace therapy or professional care. It simply provides practical, somatic tools to support everyday regulation.
Why this matters
Stress drives many physical and mental health challenges, and many people feel they “should cope better,” adding shame on top of overwhelm. Baseline removes that pressure and gives you something practical and compassionate to reach for — a way to come back to yourself in a few minutes when it matters most.
Spend more time at your baseline
Use Baseline whenever stress takes over — before meetings, after difficult conversations, during moments of shutdown, or anytime you feel “off.” A few minutes at a time, you can build a steadier baseline to return to again and again.
