Breaks when I need them

I've stopped forcing myself to stick to fixed breathing schedules that I never ended up following. Now, I simply give myself breaks when I need them... and the difference is noticeable. In the end, there's a difference between spending time on yourself and dedicating time to yourself, like what happens with Pausa

My day has different vibes

Since I stop when I need to, my day has different vibes. It's not about stopping at the end of the day, it's about stopping at key moments like after a complicated meeting. And I don't feel like I'm stopping doing things, I feel like I'm doing things while choosing how to be.

How Pausa was Born

From panic attacks to finding calm

Pausa was born after two panic attacks that changed everything. In those moments of intense anxiety, when the heart beats too hard and breathing becomes impossible, we discovered something powerful: conscious breathing can transform stress into calm.

During months of stress and anxiety, we tried different breathing techniques and mindfulness. What worked wasn't complicated apps or long meditations, but simple breathing exercises that anyone can do, without needing to meditate.

Pausa is the result of that search: an app designed for people struggling with anxiety, stress and depression, but who need something simple and effective. Science-backed breathing techniques that really help you feel better.
