NÜMA: SQUISH | RELAX | REPEAT
Born from Real Struggles, Built for Real Relief
Life gets heavy sometimes—work stress, endless notifications, a million things pulling you in different directions. It piles up until your mind feels like a tangled mess.
That’s why NÜMA exists—to help you shake off the stress, lift the weight, and bring you back to a sense of lightness.
For me, it started with anxiety—mine—and watching my wife navigate the ups and downs of mental wellness. While I tried to push through and act "normal," she faced it head-on. Regular doctor visits, long waiting times, expensive care, and daily medication became part of her routine.
I saw firsthand how difficult it was—not just the financial and time burden, but the emotional toll of constantly managing it. Meanwhile, as an introvert, I took the opposite route: I hid. I avoided clinics, avoided talking about it, and convinced myself that if I just acted like I was fine, I would be.
But stress doesn’t just disappear. It lingers, it builds up, and sooner or later, it needs an outlet.
So I started asking myself:
"Isn’t there another way?"
Because while medication and therapy have their place, what about the everyday moments? The stress that hits mid-meeting? The anxiety creeping in on your commute? The frustration bubbling up at 3 AM?
What do you do right now, in this moment, to feel better?
That’s where NÜMA was born.
What Does NÜMA Mean?
NÜMA is inspired by the ancient Greek word "pneuma" (πνεῦμα)—which means breath, spirit, and life. Just like a deep breath can reset your mind, NÜMA is here to bring lightness and calm into your everyday moments.
The "Ü" in NÜMA is a smile—a little reminder to embrace joy, find relief, and smile through life’s ups and downs. Because happiness isn’t about having a perfect life—it’s about finding simple, feel-good moments in the chaos.
At NÜMA, we believe that stress relief should be easy, playful, and always within reach. No pressure, no judgment—just a little squeeze, a deep breath, and a fresh start.
