Somatic therapy measuring tool

Body helps psyche heal –
but how do we measure it?

There is a DSM for talk therapy.

But how do we measure the healing of the nervous system – especially vagal tone and autonomic balance?

We're building a research-backed tool that gives body-oriented therapists objective data on nervous system change during somatic therapy.

Designed for somatic practitioners who want objective, nervous-system-level feedback.

Objective windows into the nervous system

Three views that give you clinical clarity and the evidence to show real change over time.

01
See client risk profile before you start
High
Moderate
Low
Chronic loadSome dysreg.Robust ANS

Understand your client's autonomic risk level before the first somatic session.

High risk – Signs of chronic stress load and low nervous system flexibility. Likely to benefit from gentle, titrated somatic work.

Moderate risk – Some dysregulation, but basic capacity to self-soothe and recover is present.

Low risk – Relatively robust autonomic health. Somatic work can deepen resilience and refine regulation skills.

02
Make the "window of tolerance" visible
Hyperarousal  ·  too activated
Inside window  ·  present & regulated
Hypoarousal  ·  shut down

You already work with your client's window of tolerance. We give you a simple visual of how much time they spend inside their window versus in dysregulation.

Based on short self-reports plus physiological patterns, so you can point to concrete changes:
"Look, your system spends more of the week in the green zone now."

03
Track the dynamic: is therapy changing the system?
Wk 1 Wk 8 Wk 16

See whether somatic work is actually reshaping the nervous system over weeks and months.

Does the risk profile shift from high → moderate → low? Does the window of tolerance expand – more time in regulation, quicker recovery after spikes?

Do sleep, resting HRV, and daily arousal patterns move in the expected direction?

Process

How it works

We use consumer-friendly wearables to map the state of the autonomic nervous system.

"Think of this as having a caring, invisible assistant who never sleeps. Your client wears a comfortable device that gently monitors their body's natural rhythms throughout the week."
1
Your client gets a device
We provide a comfortable, non-intrusive wearable (smart watch or smart patch) that collects physiological data on an ongoing basis.
2
📡
The data streams to your dashboard
The platform automatically syncs the data, so there's no extra work for you or your client.

🧠
AI translates data into insights
Our AI processes the raw data and highlights key trends in an intuitive, easy-to-read format. This is not about diagnosis—it's about giving you more information to inform your expert judgment.
4
🧭
You guide the therapy with confidence
You, the therapist, are always in control. Our platform is a co-pilot. It gives you the objective data needed to make informed decisions and demonstrate the tangible results of your work.

Is it scientific?

We use scientifically supported proxies for autonomic state and vagal regulation.

❤️
Heart rate (HR) & heart rate variability (HRV)
HRV reflects vagal tone and flexibility – how well the system can move between stress and rest.
Electrodermal activity (EDA)
EDA reflects sympathetic arousal – how "revved up" the system is.
🌡️
Skin temperature
Peripheral temperature reflects vasoconstriction vs. vasodilation – are we in "threat" mode or "rest-and-digest"?
🌬️
Respiration rate
Breathing speed changes with arousal and regulation – slower, more even breathing is linked to greater calm and higher HRV.
Our methods build on established psychophysiology research and are being validated in collaboration with clinical scientists.

Get involved

We're looking for practitioners, clients, and early adopters to shape the platform from the ground up.

For practitioners
Join research as a practitioner in somatic approach
You'll collaborate with our scientific team to refine the research protocol and contribute your real-world somatic expertise. You don't need to be a researcher, but you do need to be a licensed mental health practitioner.
For clients
Join research as a client in somatic approach
If you're in somatic therapy – or about to start – you can join our study alongside your therapist, or be matched with one later. You'll wear a comfortable wearable device and complete short weekly questionnaires. In return, you'll receive personal nervous system insights and directly advance our understanding of how somatic therapy creates lasting change.
Early access
Join the waitlist to test the platform
You'll be among the first body-oriented practitioners to try the platform in real practice and help shape which features we build next.
