Our Mission, Vision

Our mission is to provide people with smart and simple technologies to efficiently improve their breathing behavior. Slowly our users learn to face stress without distorting their breathing pattern resulting in a calm, relaxed and healthy behavior. Our vision is to slow down the pace of breathing in a society as we see it as a main contributor to physical and emotional distress resulting in many illnesses. Our corporate responsibility is to encourage people to incorporate Pursed Lip Breathing into their self management repertoire without developing any dependence on technology.
