The Self-Care Sanctuary is designed for simplicity and ease. You won’t be overwhelmed with endless choices, and the interface is easy to use, so you can quickly access the support you need in the moment.

The practices are research-informed and expert-designed, grounded in mind-body science and real clinical experience. The Self-Care Sanctuary is created by Dr. Ami Kunimura, and her practices are not available on any other platform.

While relaxation is part of the journey here, the practices go beyond creating momentary calm, offering tools to support nervous system regulation, emotional processing, resilience, and long-term well-being. These practices are designed to be repeated and revisited so your body and mind learn safety, regulation, and restoration over time.

The Self-Care Sanctuary can be beneficial for anyone who wants support for their nervous system, emotional well-being, and capacity to move through life with more steadiness and care.

It’s especially supportive for people who give a lot to others and don’t always have space to receive support themselves. These practices are meant to help you shift from self-abandonment to self-connection.

This may be especially helpful for:

• Helping professionals (therapists, clinicians, healthcare providers, educators, etc.) These practices help you regulate, reset, and sustain your energy so you can continue doing meaningful work without burning out. You are also welcome to use these practices with your clients.
• Caregivers and parents. Constant giving can be exhausting, and the realistic, accessible practices here can help you rebalance and refuel.
• People experiencing stress, burnout, grief, or life transitions. These practices are designed to meet you where you are and support your body, mind, and emotions in real time.
• People who feel overwhelmed by other wellness or meditation apps. The Self-Care Sanctuary is intentionally simple, curated, and easy to navigate, so you can find what you need without decision fatigue.
• People who want self-care that is research-informed and practical. The practices are grounded in mind-body science, nervous system regulation, and real clinical experience.

The practices in The Self-Care Sanctuary are organized into 5 categories:

1. Everyday Self-Care
Daily self-care practices to support your overall well-being and to help you stay grounded, resourced, and connected to yourself.

2. When You’re Feeling…
Practices for emotional self-care that address specific feelings (such as anxiety, overwhelm, or burnout) so you can quickly get support that meets you where you are.

3. Destress & Soothe
Self-care practices for your nervous system to help calm stress responses, release tension, and bring your body and mind back to a state of regulation and ease.

4. When You Need…
Supportive self-care practices for healing, recovery, clarity, realignment, and reconnection during challenging moments or transitions.

5. Take a Moment
Short, accessible, micro self-care practices that are 5 minutes or less. Perfect for busy days, between meetings, or when you need a quick reset.

The practices in the Self-Care Sanctuary are compassionate, guided, and designed for real-life application. They’re easy to drop into and return to, and created to support your nervous system, emotional health, and well-being.

You’ll find practices that include:

• Guided breathing techniques for regulation and emotional support

• Mind-body and somatic practices

• Guided imagery and reflective experiences

• Nervous system soothing and capacity-building practices

Each practice is intentionally designed using research-informed mind-body approaches. These practices are short and accessible (ranging from 3 to 25 minutes), so you can use them anytime you need support.
