How it works
Four small steps. As often
Four small steps. As often
as your body asks.
Open the app, choose how you feel, listen to one practice, notice what may have shifted. Two to twelve minutes. No login. No setup.
Step 01
Choose how your body feels.
Three honest cards: Overwhelmed, Steady, Flat. Pick the one that fits today, not the one that sounds best.
Step 02
Rate the intensity.
A gentle 0–10 body slider. Wired, settled, or numb — your scale, not a clinical score.
Step 03
Listen to a sequence of practices.
Short, audio-guided practices — breath, sound, grounding and movement — engineered to complement each other. Two to twelve minutes, in Gerry's voice.
Step 04
Notice what may have shifted.
Rate again. The garden grows quietly. No streaks, no scores, no shame for skipping a day.
Inside the app
Quiet on purpose.
Quiet on purpose.
Real practice, not another dashboard.
Audio-guided practices timed to the rhythm of the breath, not the clock. No badges, no leaderboards — just a calm voice and a place to come back to.
Gentle consistency
A garden,
A garden,
not a streak.
No fire emoji. No guilt. No leaderboard. Just a quiet record of the days you came back to yourself.
Practice days bloom. Rest days stay as buds. The week rolls forward whether you tend it or not. Each day is its own practice.

Built by a psychologist
Built from 10,000+ hours of embodied practice and more than a decade as a clinical psychologist.
"I created Soma Circuit because nervous system support should not be limited to a weekly therapy session. It should be there before the meeting, after the argument, during the sleepless night, or whenever the body feels overwhelmed, disconnected or shut down."
Over more than two decades I have completed over 10,000 hours of meditation and yoga practice and teaching, and spent more than ten years as an endorsed clinical psychologist in private and public settings. Soma Circuit brings these two worlds together — the depth of clinical psychology and the immediacy of embodied practice.

Body-aware.
The check-in language changes with your state. Wired isn't the same as flat. Activated isn't the same as numb.

Each practice is timed to the rhythm of the audio guidance — breath, sound, orientation, gentle movement, attention.
You'll hear a calm voice, a metronome of breath, occasional silence. Nothing flashy. Nothing performative. The practice is the practice.
- · Breath-led settling for sympathetic states
- · Orienting and grounding for steadiness
- · Warming, sound and movement for dorsal states

Boundaries
What Soma Circuit is —
What Soma Circuit is —
and what it isn't.
The right tool for the right job. Soma Circuit is a body-first companion, not a clinical instrument.
What it is
- An audio-guided practice app for nervous-system regulation
- Designed by a clinical psychologist
- Body-first, polyvagal-informed
- An educational wellness tool
- Useful between therapy sessions, or on its own
- Quiet, slow and offline-friendly
What it's not
- Not a replacement for therapy
- Not a crisis service
- Not a diagnosis or assessment tool
- Not a medical device
- Not a clinician dashboard or data-sharing tool
- Not a streak-based habit app or social platform
Science
The ideas beneath
The ideas beneath
the practice.
A plain-English introduction to the body, the nervous system and the science that informs Soma Circuit. Written by a clinical psychologist, with clarity, care and no exaggerated claims.
1 · What we mean by nervous system regulation
Your nervous system is doing work all the time — reading the room, the day, the people you're with. Sometimes it's well-matched to what's actually happening. Sometimes it's responding to old patterns or accumulated load.
Regulation isn't about staying calm. It's about being able to move between states — to mobilise when you need energy, to settle when you need rest, to come back to yourself after something difficult.
2 · The three-state model
Polyvagal-informed approaches describe three broad nervous-system states. We've translated them into language you can feel rather than diagnose:
Overwhelmed · sympathetic mobilisation — too much energy, too fast.
Steady · ventral vagal — present, social, resourced.
Flat · dorsal vagal — shut down, low energy, distant.
3 · The window of tolerance
The window of tolerance, named by Dr Dan Siegel, describes the zone in which we can think, feel and respond without being hijacked. Above the window: overwhelm. Below it: shutdown.
Soma Circuit is designed to support the skills that help people return toward their window — through breath, orientation, sound and gentle movement.
4 · Why body-first practice can help
Somatic and polyvagal-informed approaches share the view that the body is part of regulation — not an afterthought to it. Talking is powerful, but a body that is wired or shut down is sometimes more responsive to slow breath, weight, sound and posture than to thinking.
With repeated body-based practice, many people can build capacity to notice their state and choose a small, supportive action. That's the modest, well-supported claim we're making.
5 · What Soma Circuit does — and doesn't
A measured note
Soma Circuit is an educational wellness tool. It is not therapy, diagnosis, treatment, crisis support or a medical device. It does not claim to treat, cure or fix anxiety, trauma or depression.
What it does aim to do is offer a short, consistent body-based practice — a place to come back to between everything else.

About
Built from 10,000+ hours of embodied practice and more than a decade as a clinical psychologist.
Soma Circuit started as a series of short audio practices Gerry Bronn made for his clients to use between sessions. It became an app when too many of them began asking to keep them.
My work began with embodied practice.
Across more than twenty years, I have completed over 10,000 hours of yoga and meditation practice and teaching, including many years as a yoga and meditation teacher. Through embodied breath, movement, and stillness, I came to understand the body as more than something we carry.
That understanding led me toward mindfulness-based psychotherapy and somatic approaches including Hakomi, Somatic Experiencing and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy.
These traditions share a simple principle: lasting change does not happen through insight alone. The nervous system also needs new experiences of safety, connection, movement and choice.
Soma Circuit brings these worlds together. Each practice is informed by clinical psychology, contemplative training and decades of embodied experience.
Soma Circuit is not about perfecting meditation or maintaining a streak. It is about learning to listen to the body — and giving it practical ways to respond.

Suggested use
How clients tend to use it well.
Field notes from clinicians already using Soma Circuit with their clients.
One set of short exercises per day
Encourage one practice in a state that fits the body that day — not a long sequence on Sunday. Short, consistent practice beats long, occasional effort.
Before or after our work
A grounding practice on the way to a session, or a settling one on the way home. The app doesn't replace the session — it bookends it.
When the body asks
Before a meeting, after a difficult call, when waking at 4am. The three-state model is designed to be useable in moments, not just rituals.
Bring noticing back to the session
Ask what the client is observing about their state across a week. The most useful thing the app generates isn't a score — it's something to notice.
Recommendation scripts
Copy-paste wording for your client.
Three versions, three contexts. Lift them as written or rewrite in your voice.
10-second version · in the room
"Try Soma Circuit between sessions. Choose the state that fits your body and do one short practice a day. We'll talk about what you notice."
Text-message version
"Here's the app I mentioned: somacircuit.com. Start with Overwhelmed if you feel wired, Flat if you feel shut down, or Steady if you want to build capacity."
Clinical version · for letters and notes
"Soma Circuit is a psychologist-designed nervous-system regulation app based on somatic and polyvagal-informed practice. It is intended as a between-session educational tool, not a substitute for therapy. We will use it gently and review what the client notices."
Cautions
Where it isn't the right tool.
Please share these with clients alongside the recommendation.
Please share with clients
Stop a practice if it feels overwhelming. Orient to the room, name three things you can see, contact a trusted person. Don't use Soma Circuit while driving or operating machinery, and don't use it as the only support during acute crisis or in place of contacting your therapist, GP or crisis service.

No data flows from the app to anyone — including us.
- The app collects no personal data and requires no account.
- There is no clinician dashboard. We do not see, store or share client information.

How to read this library
Soma Circuit organises practice into three modules, one for each nervous-system state. Within each module a training journey unfolds across numbered levels, and every level guides the user through a short sequence of exercises. The same exercise can appear in several levels.
- Modules — Overwhelmed (sympathetic activation), Steady (within the window of tolerance), and Flat (dorsal shutdown).
- Levels — Overwhelmed and Flat run L1–L11; Steady runs L1–L9. Each level has a name and a set sequence.
- Access — Levels 1–3 are free; Levels 4 and above require Soma Circuit Plus.
- Audio — Audio · m:ss means a bundled recording ships with the app. Streaming means the guided audio is delivered remotely.

Pricing principles
What we will and won't ever do.
Plain commitments. Not marketing language — operating rules we'll hold ourselves to.
Free tier never gets worse
Levels 1–3 in all three states stay free, forever. We will not move a free practice behind the paywall.
No upsell nags
The free experience won't be peppered with paywall prompts. Plus is offered once on first open, then quietly available in settings.
Never ads
Not banners, not interstitials, not sponsored practices. Your nervous system isn't ad inventory.
If you need it, ask
Students, low-income users, refugees and people in care — email us and we'll comp you a year of Plus, quietly.
You get
A creator kit, not a brand deck.
High-res screenshots, 15-/30-/60-sec audio clips, vertical video assets, approved one-liners, founder photo — drop straight into Reels, TikTok or Substack.
Your audience gets
A free tier that's actually free.
Levels 1–3 across all three states. No account. No ads. No subscription required to start. Send followers in confident they'll get something real.
We give back
50% recurring, 12 months.
Personal link, transparent dashboard, monthly Stripe payouts. Half of every subscription you bring in, for a full year.
Commission tiers

Library
Slow reading on the body
Slow reading on the body
and the nervous system.
Short essays from the founder and clinical contributors. Educational, careful, never prescriptive.
What we mean when we say a body is "wired"
Sympathetic activation, in plain language — and why naming it changes how you respond.
Steady is not the same as still
Steadiness is a moving target. A quiet note on the difference between regulated and serene.
When the body goes flat — and how to warm slowly
Numbness is a strategy, not a flaw. What it's protecting, and how to thaw without forcing.
A garden, not a streak
Why we built Soma Circuit without a fire emoji, a leaderboard, or a single nudge to do more.
Recommending an app without losing the room
Notes on between-session tools, transference, and keeping the work in the consulting room.
Why we kept the app accountless
The privacy decisions baked into Soma Circuit, and what they cost us in convenience.

Issue 14 · On waking at 4am
Sent Sunday, 4 May 2026 · 2 min read
If you've ever woken at 4am with your jaw tight and your mind already three meetings ahead, this letter is for you. There's a particular kind of activation that happens in the small hours — half-asleep, half-bracing — and it almost never responds to thinking.
What it does respond to, often, is one slow exhale. Then another. Then the felt-sense of the mattress under your back.
This week's practice
Long Exhale · 3 minutes. Inhale to four. Exhale to seven. Three breaths, then rest the count and let the breath find its own length.
"You don't have to be calm to come back. You only have to notice you've gone."

Soma Circuit is a nervous system regulation app designed by a clinical psychologist.
In one paragraph
Soma Circuit is a body-first practice app built by Gerry Bronn, an endorsed clinical psychologist based in Byron Bay, NSW. Three states — Overwhelmed, Steady and Flat — guide users to short audio practices for breath, orientation, sound and gentle movement. The app is accountless, ad-free and collects no user data. It launched in May 2026.
Founder bio
Gerry Bronn is an endorsed clinical psychologist based in Byron Bay, NSW, with more than ten years in clinical practice across private, public, hospital and community settings. He is AHPRA-endorsed, a member of ACPA, trained in CBT, DBT, ACT and trauma-informed care. Soma Circuit grew from the short audio practices he recorded for his clients to use between sessions.

Privacy policy · Last updated June 2026
Privacy Policy.
Soma Circuit is built privacy-first. We do not sell your data, show ads, or run third-party analytics. Most of your practice data stays on your device.
Summary
Soma Circuit is built privacy-first. We do not sell your data, show ads, or run third-party analytics. Most of your practice data stays on your device.
What the app collects
Practice data (on your device only). Your training progress, session check-ins, favorites, and settings are stored locally on your phone or tablet. We do not operate a user account system and we do not receive this data on our servers.
Location (coarse, on-device). If you allow location access, the app uses your approximate position only to decide when to show day vs night appearance (based on local sunrise and sunset). This calculation happens on your device. We do not store or transmit your location to our servers.
Purchases (Apple + RevenueCat). If you subscribe to Soma Circuit Plus, Apple processes payment. We use RevenueCat to verify your subscription and unlock Plus content (Levels 4 and above). RevenueCat receives purchase and subscription status tied to an anonymous app identifier — not your name or email from us, because we do not collect those.
Guided audio (streaming). Levels 4 and above stream guided audio from our content delivery network (Cloudflare). Requests fetch audio files only; they do not include personal identifiers.
Optional reminders. If you turn on daily reminders, notifications are scheduled locally on your device. We do not use remote push notifications.
What we do not do
- No advertising SDKs
- No behavioral tracking across other companies' apps or websites
- No sale of personal information
- No requirement to create an account to use the free tier
Soma Circuit Plus
Levels 1–3 in each module are free. Soma Circuit Plus is an optional subscription that unlocks Levels 4 and above (up to 11 levels per module for Overwhelmed and Flat; up to 9 for Steady) and expanded library access.

Children
Soma Circuit is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes
We may update this policy as the app evolves. Material changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date.
