InnerGarden is a psychology-based guided audio app for everyday recovery, emotional resilience, and meaningful self-care. InnerGarden offers nature-inspired guided audio visualizations that help you slow down, turn attention inward, and work with stress, emotions, and inner patterns in a gentle way. It is designed for both personal and professional use, including individuals, helping professionals, teams, and organizations.
Guided visualization is an audio-based self-care practice where a calm voice guides your imagination through a restorative inner experience. In InnerGarden, guided visualizations are nature-inspired audio exercises. While listening, you imagine a garden scene, notice your senses, and turn attention inward. This can help your nervous system slow down, support emotional regulation, and create space for recovery, reflection, and resilience.
Not exactly. InnerGarden is more than relaxation and easier than meditation. You do not need to empty your mind, sit perfectly still, or meditate in a traditional way. InnerGarden is built around psychology-grounded guided imagery. The audio guides you through images, metaphors, and gentle reflection that help you work with stress, emotions, and patterns of thinking, feeling, and behavior.
InnerGarden is audio-first, psychology-grounded, and designed to reduce passive screen time, not increase it. Many wellness apps rely on tracking, clicking, scrolling, or completing tasks. InnerGarden is different. It invites you to close your eyes, listen, and turn attention inward. Instead of simply distracting you for a moment, the guided visualizations help you build recovery, emotional resilience, and healthier inner patterns over time.
Yes. InnerGarden can support both personal and professional use. InnerGarden can be used by individuals, helping professionals, teams, and organizations. We also create custom guided visualizations, educational programs, webinars, workshops, and workplace burnout prevention programs for specific audiences, psychological themes, and professional contexts.
Yes. InnerGarden is designed to support everyday recovery and emotional resilience before stress turns into exhaustion. Burnout prevention is not only about reducing workload. It is also about regular recovery, emotional regulation, self-awareness, and healthier ways of responding to pressure. InnerGarden offers short audio practices that help you pause, restore focus, process stress, and build a more sustainable relationship with your energy and performance.
Yes. InnerGarden is created by psychologists and grounded in evidence-informed psychological principles. InnerGarden combines guided imagery, nature-based metaphors, emotional regulation, self-reflection, and principles inspired by CBT and mindfulness-based approaches. The app is designed to be gentle and accessible, while still supporting deeper work with thoughts, emotions, behavior patterns, recovery, and resilience.
Yes. You can register and start with a 14-day free trial. For the first 14 days, you get access to the full InnerGarden library, including AI-personalized journeys. After the trial ends, you keep free access to a selected part of the library, so you can continue using InnerGarden even without upgrading to Premium.
Premium gives you access to hundreds of guided psychology-based practices, AI-personalized journeys, and your personal activity overview. Premium includes the full InnerGarden experience: a broad library of guided practices for stress relief, energy balance, sleep, emotional processing, healthier relationships, burnout prevention, resilience, and more. It also includes selected AI-personalized journeys and your personal activity overview within your Inner Garden.
AI helps personalize selected guided journeys to your needs, preferences, time, and pacing. InnerGarden uses AI thoughtfully as a support tool, not as a replacement for human psychological expertise. Selected journeys can be adapted to your preferred visualization environment, audio length, voice, and pacing. The goal is to make the experience more accessible and relevant to your current state.
No. InnerGarden can support self-care, but it does not replace therapy or medical care. InnerGarden is a self-care and psychological skills support tool. It can be used alongside therapy, coaching, workplace wellbeing programs, or personal reflection. If you are dealing with severe distress, trauma, crisis, or mental health symptoms that feel too difficult to manage alone, we recommend seeking professional support.
Yes. InnerGarden is designed to be gentle, flexible, and respectful of your personal boundaries. You stay in control of the experience. You can choose a shorter session, keep your eyes open, change the voice, pause, stop, or return to a more grounding practice whenever needed. If you have a trauma history, we recommend starting slowly and choosing practices that feel safe and supportive. InnerGarden can support self-care, but it is not a replacement for trauma therapy or professional mental health care.
Use it whenever you need to slow down, recover, process emotions, or reconnect with yourself. InnerGarden can support you in many everyday moments: before a demanding task, after a difficult conversation, during stress, before sleep, when you feel emotionally overloaded, or when you need a short pause. Some people use it for calm and focus. Others use it for emotional processing, burnout prevention, recovery, or moments of gratitude and joy.
Choose by your current need, mood, theme, or the image that naturally draws your attention. You can choose a visualization for calm, focus, recovery, sleep, emotional support, grief, change, joy, or another intention. You can also follow what visually speaks to you. There is no wrong choice. Over time, you will learn which types of visualization support you best.
No. You do not need to see clear images in your mind to benefit. Some people imagine vivid scenes. Others sense only a mood, a shape, a color, or a feeling. All of that is okay. Guided visualization can work through images, sounds, body sensations, emotions, memories, or simple attention. The goal is not to visualize perfectly, but to stay open to the experience.
That is completely normal, and it does not mean you are doing it wrong. Attention naturally moves around, especially when you are tired, stressed, or overloaded. When you notice your mind has drifted, simply return to the voice, the image, your breath, or your body. Each gentle return is part of the practice and can strengthen your ability to stay present over time.
No. Closing your eyes can help, but it is not required. You can close your eyes, soften your gaze, or simply look at something calming, such as a plant, a view from the window, or the landscape around you. The most important thing is to feel comfortable and safe enough to turn your attention inward.
No. Please do not use InnerGarden while driving or doing anything that requires your full attention. Many guided visualizations invite you to relax, turn inward, soften your focus, or close your eyes. For your safety, use InnerGarden only when you can pause safely. Do not use it while driving, cycling, operating machinery, or performing tasks where reduced attention could be dangerous.
