Stress again?

Try StressAway VR: for 60 seconds, look at what stresses you, then intentionally step into a stress free world. Notice what changes first: your breathing slows, your jaw loosens, your body unclenches.

That “workday replay” hits right when you try to sleep.

You’ve got stress you can’t clock out of—so we use a 5-minute VR guided reset to help you mentally close the loop on unfinished thoughts. Then you map 3 calming anchors for your next sleep cycle, so your brain has something soothing to grab onto instead of spiraling.

Quick check-in before you drift off: On a 0–10 scale, how heavy is your mind right now?

Based on sound psychological techniques (with Dr. Sandra Thébaud’s expertise in mind), StressAway makes it easier to manage stress and support better sleep—no complicated routine required.

Tight chest? Racing thoughts? Before you put on StressAway VR, try this 30-second “name the feeling” check-in.

Quietly label what you’re carrying (even if it’s messy): “tight chest,” “restless body,” “worried mind.” Then put the headset on and notice how the VR breathing/grounding cues meet you where you are. You’re not forcing calm—you’re training awareness first, so your response has a chance to shift.

This is the kind of science-backed regulation Dr. Sandra Thébaud teaches: noticing the emotion before you react.

Your stress isn’t just mental—it shows up in your body’s threat alarm.

When your brain flips into fight-or-flight, your muscles tighten like they’re bracing for impact. Hypervigilance follows. Even when nothing is “wrong,” your body keeps scanning—and sleep pays the price.

That’s why StressAway VR uses science-based psychological tools (including guided calm) in a “safe place” reset. With a few minutes of VR-led breathing and soothing scenes, you help retrain the threat response—so you can feel quieter, sleep easier, and focus clearer.

What’s your most stressful moment: winding down at night, commuting, or work meetings? 👇

Night anxiety won’t quit—so why are you still starting from scratch?

StressAwayVR gives you a choose-your-calm reset that adapts the same evidence-based relaxation routine to what you need right now. Anxious at night? We guide slower breathing and soothing scenes. Overstimulated after work? You get a quicker, downshift style reset—without hunting for a “new routine” every time.

Science-backed techniques matter, and VR makes them easier to stick with: you’re in the right environment, guided step-by-step, in minutes.

Want your go-to moment to be bedtime, commute, or after-work decompression? Try it on Oculus: https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/24974341555545357/ 😊

Your “full day reset” never sticks—by noon, your anxiety is back.

So we changed the plan to a “3-sit balance shift.”

Run StressAwayVR in the morning, afternoon, and evening—then log how your anxiety/depression feel after each immersive session.

In a 2-week case study using a similar morning/afternoon/evening schedule, participants saw significant reductions after even a single immersive session, with bigger clarity over time.

One session can help. Three shows what really shifts for your body and your day.

What would change for you if balance became something you practice 3 times a day?

“Where do you feel stress taking control?”

Before StressAwayVR, that question often brings people back to tight shoulders, a racing mind, the feeling they can’t switch off.

After one VR session, we hear something different: “My focus got clearer.” “I relaxed faster than I expected.” “It felt like my body finally exhaled.”

We call it a “one-session reboot” because you don’t have to wait weeks to notice the shift—just try the moment, then check in with what changed.

Start today on Quest: oculus.com/experiences/quest/24974341555545357/

What’s the first thing you want to change—focus or calm?

Your body hits the alarm… then your brain keeps treating it like danger.

We built StressAway around an approach that doesn’t just calm breathing—it trains threat response. Try our “compassion breath” in VR: pair slow, breath-focused mindfulness with loving-kindness, then answer this 30-second prompt:
“When stress hits, what would you say to a person you care about?”

And yes—research on compassion training and loving-kindness meditation has shown mixed results overall, but loving-kindness practices are often linked with meaningful benefits. We focused on making that practice feel tangible in the moment.

What would you say to someone you care about when you notice stress rising?

Nearly 30% of adults report high stress—and it shows up in the body, not just the mood.

When stress hangs around day after day, our systems don’t just “feel bad.” The body shifts toward inflammation, and that can raise cardiovascular risk over time—through stress hormones, nervous system strain, and the habits stress tends to pull us into.

That’s why StressAwayVR focuses on more than calm thoughts. We help your stress response reset in a guided VR session, so you can train your body to come back to baseline.

Which part of your stress response do you want to interrupt first—your body’s tension, your racing thoughts, or your breathing?

Try StressAway.

We’ve seen the moment people tense up.

Then their breathing slows in StressAway.

UCLA Health’s JMIR Cardio pilot found that a 30-minute VR relaxation session reduced anxiety and heart rate in cardiac patients with elevated stress.

So stress relief isn’t just “in your head”—your body gets the message too.

Would you try VR relaxation if it could calm your body, not just your thoughts?
