Hi, I'm Sarah- Founder of Healium

For years, I worked as a TV journalist and news anchor, telling other people’s stories. But stress, anxiety, sleepless nights, and a heart attack in 2024 nearly took my life. Stress can kill you. I wanted a drugless way to self-manage my stress—not just for myself, but for the 41 million others who also struggle with anxiety and insomnia.

That's why I created Healium: a clinically validated biofeedback platform built for the therapists, clinicians, and VA programs treating those struggling with stress, anxiety, and insomnia. By translating EEG brainwaves and heart rate from any wearable into immersive, real-time visuals, Healium gives patients something self-report scales can't — a way to see their nervous system respond and learn to self-regulate.

Today, Healium lives in clinics, therapy practices, and VA programs around the world — wherever practitioners need a measurable, drugless way to help patients downshift.

What We Do

We are scientists, clinicians, and storytellers united by one mission: to give healthcare providers a measurable, drugless tool for the patients they serve. Our team combines neuroscience, immersive technology, and clinical research to equip therapists, hospitals, and VA programs with something the field has been missing — proof that patients are actually downregulating, not just reporting that they feel better.

Through relentless curiosity and collaboration, we craft immersive experiences that merge science and creativity, providing a new category of tool for mental healthcare. Everything we do is driven by one commitment: making calm measurable — so providers can see what's working.

SOCIAL PURPOSE

Honor Everywhere

We believe in using immersive technology to foster healing, empathy, and connection. That's why our team built Honor Everywhere, a program offering aging Veterans the opportunity to see their WWII, Vietnam, Korean, & Women’s Memorials.

If you know a Veteran who would like a 360-degree tour of their memorial, which they may never visit in person, please contact your local Honor Flight hub or email honoreverywhere360@gmail.com.
