Who we are
Emotional wellbeing is an Art of Living.
We are convinced that our mental health is essential and crucial for the overall well-being as a human. We think this should be central to how we organize our society.
We are a collective of experts, who are researching cutting-edge topics of the mind-body connection with our human consciousness.
We believe that our daily experiences construct the knowledge we have of our life and our place in it. Often, we are unaware of the perceptions that hugely impact the way we interact with the world around us.
Our aim, is to support companies to get deeper insight into the psyche of their employees and customers. To strengthen the bond between people who collaborate together, towards a shared vision.
We have built a philosophy on the Art of Living by creating a design principle that is called "Somatic Design". Soon published here.

Sensory cuddle to give autonomy to children in medical context
Medical encounters can leave a deep mark on the psyche of a child. They are often unnecessary frightening and stressful. The main aim is to bring autonomy back to the child by giving them a method of expression. The child receives the cuddle that will give them supported breathing throughout the examination. Rhythmic breathing exercises can have a long-term positive effect on our well-being. It stimulates brain regions that enable us to regulate our emotions.
The object is designed to connect children and doctors towards a trusting relationship. Being medically trained, pediatricians are in need of empathy tools and resources to read the emotional state of a child. Aiki gives the doctor visual cues to understand the height of fear the child is residing in. Measuring the child's breathing tempo which translates into gradually changing the color of the object.
