Awakened Beats
About Us
At Awakened Beats, we believe any lasting change starts with awareness. That’s why we created two powerful tools to support your growth and wellness, the Awakened Beats music and the Awakened App.
🎵 Awakened Beats music
Music that speaks to your emotions.
Our music is more than sound. Each track is designed to speak to your emotions, calm your nervous system, and help you reconnect with yourself during stressful moments.

Practical support for your daily life.
Alongside the music, the Awakened App gives you practical support for your daily life. Twelve connected tools, from breathing, mood tracking, sleep, and journaling to habits, goals, planning your day, calming music, coloring, tools for an overactive mind, anxiety and OCD skill building, and discovering more of what makes you happy, help you stay grounded and move forward with clarity and calmness.

Our story
From our family to your everyday life.
Awakened brings together two parts of my life that mean a great deal to me: helping people and creating something with my son.
🤝Helping people
👨👦Creating something with my son
🌿The Awakened app
I have a Ph.D. in Psychology, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) as well as a National Board Certified Counselor (NCC). For about two decades, I have been supporting children, teenagers, adults, and older adults through many kinds of challenges using counseling, coaching, and mindfulness.
The purpose behind my work has stayed the same. I want to contribute more happiness, meaningful success, health, and peace of mind to more lives. I want to create value that stays with people over time.
That purpose now takes shape in the Awakened app and Awakened Beats music.

The moments between sessions matter.
Over the years, I’ve come to appreciate how much of the work of therapy, coaching, and mindfulness happens beyond the session itself. What people practice between appointments, after a course of therapy has ended, or following a workshop or seminar can make a meaningful difference.
In my own search, I found apps focused on meditation, sleep, or individual parts of wellbeing. I couldn’t find the kind of connected, therapist-created system I wanted to offer.
I wanted to create an authentic, holistic system people could return to, with tools that work as a team around their emotions, thoughts, routines, and goals.
That became an important part of why we kept building Awakened.

Today
One summer after the pandemic, my son was fourteen and had about twenty days before school began. Our vacations were over, and he wanted to do something that could help people. I offered him a few ideas, and he chose to create a breathing app.
By the time school started, he had built five breathing exercises.
We returned to the project over the following summers. I brought my professional knowledge and experience to the practices, guidance, and app design. My son and co-founder built the early app, writing the code for its original set of tools himself. We kept learning as we went.
Today, my son is in college. Our roles have evolved, with me taking on more of the ongoing development and him contributing through testing and feedback. We work as a team, continually improving Awakened and finding new ways to add value to people’s lives.

A real person behind the guidance.
Some AI chatbots and apps
Some AI chatbots and apps create answers on the spot. They can make up information that sounds true, sometimes called an AI hallucination.
🌿 Sage
Sage’s practice guidance is already written. Every exercise, prompt, practice, and line of her guidance is written and approved by me, a licensed therapist, before it reaches you. She reads those words, so there is no AI inventing advice during your practice.

Sometimes, the message finds its way into a song.
The principles I share in sessions also inspire the lyrics I write for Awakened Beats. Our songs are an invitation to pause, reflect, and come back to yourself.
The music and the app share the same purpose: to help you come back to yourself and turn awareness into meaningful practice in everyday life.

What I hope you find here.
I hope you find a practice you want to return to, a song that stays with you, or a small way to make room for what matters. I want the value you receive to reach beyond what you pay.
That is why Awakened includes a Forever Free plan, alongside monthly, yearly, and lifetime options. It is also why we keep returning to the details and looking for ways to improve them.
What began with twenty days and five breathing exercises continues with the same wish: to create something that earns a meaningful place in your life.
