Soma Circuit: Nervous System

Soma Circuit is a nervous system regulation app built by a clinical psychologist. It uses short, body-based somatic practices to support you when you feel overwhelmed, steady, flat or in shutdown.

Instead of assuming every difficult state needs calming, Soma Circuit starts by asking how your body actually feels. Nervous system regulation can mean settling excess activation, building on a steady state, or gently reconnecting when you feel flat, numb or shut down. The app then matches you with a short practice suited to that state.

THREE NERVOUS SYSTEM STATES

Overwhelmed — wired, anxious or racing. Practices may include grounding, tense-and-relax, extended-exhale breathwork and progressive muscle relaxation.

Steady — present, connected and grounded. Practices may include rhythmic breathing, body scans, safe-place resourcing and open awareness.

Flat — tired, foggy, numb or disconnected. This may resemble a dorsal vagal shutdown state. Practices focus on gentle activation, somatic movement, up-regulation breathwork and self-havening touch.

HOW IT WORKS

Soma Circuit brings together nervous system regulation, somatic practice, breathwork, grounding and gentle movement. Some practices focus on settling stress and overwhelm. Others help when you feel flat, disconnected or caught in shutdown.

The app is informed by polyvagal theory and the window of tolerance, including ideas such as ventral vagal regulation, sympathetic activation and dorsal vagal shutdown. Practices also work with breath, body awareness, the vagus nerve, orienting and interoception.

BUILT BY A CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST

Gerry Bronn is an AHPRA-endorsed clinical psychologist and executive coach with more than ten years in clinical practice and over 10,000 hours of meditation, yoga and embodied practice. Soma Circuit is also shaped by training in Hakomi, Somatic Experiencing and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy.

A GARDEN, NOT A STREAK

If you have tried meditation apps, breathwork apps or sleep apps and found they mainly help when you are already calm, Soma Circuit is built differently. It starts with your current state rather than assuming you need the same thing every time.

There are no badges, leaderboards or streak pressure. Practice days bloom, rest days stay as buds, and each day is its own practice.

NO ACCOUNT. NO ADS.

You do not need to create an account to begin. There are no ads. Your practice history stays on your device. If you allow location access, it is used on-device only to decide day or night appearance.

FOR REAL MOMENTS

Use Soma Circuit before a meeting, after a difficult conversation, on the commute home, at bedtime when your body will not switch off, during a 4am wake-up, or between therapy sessions.

It is designed for people navigating everyday stress, burnout, overwhelm, flatness and shutdown, and for people who want to build more capacity for nervous system regulation through somatic practice.
