Problem

Did you know that stress and burnout cost U.S. businesses over $300 billion annually? The mental health and wellness crisis disproportionately impacts Gen Z and Millennial women, who report record levels of anxiety, emotional exhaustion, and disconnection from their bodies. The key problems Nervana is solving are:

Mind-Only Solutions Fall Short: Most wellness apps (like Calm & Headspace) focus on meditation and mindfulness alone. While helpful, these do not address the body where stress and trauma are actually stored.

Lack of Real-Time, Personalized Support: Current apps offer static meditations or generic playlists, leaving users unsupported when stress peaks in the moment.

Disconnection & Isolation: Stress and burnout thrive in isolation. People crave safe spaces for shared healing, yet most digital platforms are missing community and real human connection.

Overlooked Women’s Needs: Gen Z and Millennial women face unique stressors including cycle fluctuations, perimenopause, and caregiving. Few platforms personalize wellness around women’s bodies and lived experiences.

Solution

Nervana is building a somatic wellness platform for personalized, body-based and accessible nervous system regulation and stress/burnout relief.

Somatic First: Beyond meditation, we guide users in breathwork, sounding, and movement—proven practices that release stress from the body, not just the mind.

Real-Time AI Co-Regulation: Our conversational AI (Nova) breathes with you, guides you through personalized practices, and checks in—supporting nervous system regulation when it matters most.

Women-Centered Personalization: Users can sync menstrual cycles for tailored practices, with future expansion into perimenopause and menopause support.

Community & Events: Digital engagement meets in-person connection through co-regulation sessions, wellness events, and an ambassador model that empowers local leaders to host Nervana gatherings worldwide.

Freemium → Subscription Flywheel: Users start with a 7-day trial, then unlock the full app, events, and community via subscription ($9.99–$19.99/mo or $179/yr). Events monetize separately for non-members, creating natural incentive to join.

Nervana is not just an app—it’s a movement to make nervous system regulation accessible, personalized, and embodied for millions of people, especially women.

Market

The global wellness market is $1.5T (McKinsey, 2021), with digital wellness tech valued at $300B TAM. Our SAM is the $15B U.S. segment of Gen Z and Millennial women in wellness tech. Our SOM is conservatively $200M, representing <1% of SAM.

This market is primed for disruption: Gen Z and Millennial women are the largest adopters of wellness apps, yet remain underserved by mind-only platforms. Nervana is strategically positioned to capture this demand through a body-first, AI-personalized, and community-driven model that no competitor is addressing.

Nervana AI is more than an app—it’s the future of embodied wellness. We invite you to join us in building the movement that will help 1 billion people feel more regulated, rooted, and radiant.
