About this app
SOMA is a 28-day mind-body program designed to support people living with chronic pain and related symptoms. If you’re dealing with persistent back pain, migraine, headaches, pelvic pain, jaw pain, fibromyalgia-like symptoms, or recurring stress-related physical symptoms, SOMA offers a structured daily practice built around pain education, emotional awareness, meditation, and reflection. SOMA is more than a symptom tracker. It is a guided recovery experience focused on the connection between the brain, nervous system, stress, emotions, and chronic pain. With SOMA, you can: - Learn the science of chronic pain and the nervous system - Practice somatic tracking and guided meditation - Reflect with structured journaling prompts - Track pain, mood, and flare-ups over time - Access support tools during difficult moments - Follow a step-by-step 28-day journey Each day includes three core practices: - Coaching to help you understand key mind-body concepts - Journaling to explore emotional patterns, stress, and symptom triggers - Meditation to support nervous system regulation and a greater sense of safety in the body SOMA is built around a biopsychosocial view of chronic pain. Research in pain neuroscience suggests that chronic pain is influenced not only by tissues and injury, but also by the brain, nervous system, learned pain pathways, stress, emotions, attention, and expectation. SOMA is designed to help users better understand these patterns and develop supportive daily practices. Whether you are new to mind-body approaches or have been searching for answers for years, SOMA provides a clear and supportive framework for learning, reflection, and recovery. Your pain is real. Recovery is possible. SOMA is intended for wellness, education, and self-guided support. It does not provide medical diagnosis or treatment and is not a substitute for professional medical care.
