About NuCalm
Our mission is simple: make a balanced nervous system your default.
NuCalm is the world's only patented neuroacoustic technology clinically proven to relieve stress, improve sleep quality, and accelerate recovery, without drugs, wearables, or willpower.
Where it started
Born in a clinic. Built for everyone.
NuCalm was developed by Dr. Blake Holloway, a neuroscientist and clinician who spent decades treating patients suffering from acute PTSD and other trauma-related conditions. He understood that the nervous system, not willpower, was the true gatekeeper to mental health, sleep, and vitality.
Working with Solace Lifesciences, Dr. Holloway translated complex neuroscience into a simple, drug-free experience: put on headphones, press play, and let patented neuroacoustic signals guide your brain into restorative alpha and theta states.
What began as a clinical tool for patients with anxiety, insomnia, and PTSD is now used by elite athletes, executives, first responders, and anyone who wants a safe, predictable way to feel better, perform better, and live better.
Our history
From a clinical machine to an app.
NuCalm's journey is one of simplification: take a powerful clinical technology and make it accessible to anyone, anywhere.
2009
The clinic years
A room-sized nervous-system reset
NuCalm began as a clinical system: a dedicated computer, proprietary software, light-blocking glasses, and headphones. Patients sat in a chair while the technology guided their brains into restorative alpha and theta states, no drugs, no wearables, just sound.
Designed for patients with anxiety, insomnia, and PTSD.
2016
The breakthrough
From patient rooms to locker rooms
Elite performers discovered what clinicians already knew. Pro athletes, surgeons, and executives started using NuCalm to recover faster, sleep deeper, and stay sharp under pressure. The demand grew beyond the clinic.
Adopted by 79+ professional and collegiate sports teams.

The app era
Calm, in your pocket
We rebuilt the experience for the device you already carry. The same patented neuroacoustic physics, nonlinear oscillations, frequency-following response, and binaural engineering, now fits in an app. No hardware required.
Millions of minutes of calm delivered on phones worldwide.

Your personal calm operating system
NuCalm learns what you need. Sleep tracks for deep rest. Rescue tracks for acute stress. Focus tracks for flow. All personalized through a simple stress test and delivered wherever you go.
From a machine in a clinic to an app in your hand.
The science
Sound that changes your state.
Your brain naturally follows rhythmic stimuli. NuCalm uses precisely engineered audio to guide you from high-beta stress into alpha and theta, the same frequencies your body visits during deep, restorative sleep.
Patented physics
NuCalm's neuroacoustic tracks are engineered using nonlinear oscillations and frequency-following response, not generic relaxation music.
Clinically validated
Research partnerships and independent studies have shown NuCalm reliably increases parasympathetic tone, improves HRV, and deepens restorative states.
Drug-free by design
No pills, no wearables, no side effects. Just sound frequencies that work with your brain's natural biology.
