Stress and burnout have become all too common, but a Boston-based health-tech startup is breathing life into ancient practices. Founded in 2024, Tattva operates at the intersection of neuroscience and holistic health practices, providing a unique approach to wellness.
Tattva’s solutions are rooted in the power of conscious breathing, an ancient practice revitalized with technology. The company empowers individuals to unlock their full potential and achieve a state of optimal well-being by harnessing the mind-body connection.
Simran Kaur and Ishneet Kaur: The Sisters Behind Tattva
Leading Tattva are Simran Kaur and Ishneet Kaur, two sisters driven by a shared passion for personal growth, community and well-being.
With her Master’s in Public Health, Bachelor’s Degree in Pharmacy, and extensive background in business development, Simran brings a wealth of industry knowledge to the company. She is also a certified breathwork instructor and holistic health coach.
Meanwhile, Ishneet has a Master’s Degree in Applied Economics from Cornell University and brings a unique blend of corporate experience and a deep appreciation for the healing power of nature. Ishneet is currently working for a climate-tech venture capital fund. Together, they have created a powerful combination that changes people’s lives.
VitalBreath: A Transformative Breathwork Program Rooted in Neuroscience
The cornerstone of Tattva’s offerings is VitalBreath, a transformative breathwork program that catalyzes emotional release and inner transformation. This program is deeply rooted in “transient hypo-frontality,” where the prefrontal cortex, the brain’s rational part, temporarily downregulates.
Inducing this state through conscious breathing helps individuals dive deep into their subconscious minds, releasing limiting beliefs and traumas holding them back. Consistent practice of this technique builds mental fitness and resilience, addressing that 90% of behavior, actions, and beliefs are driven by the subconscious mind formed before age six.
According to Simran, many people have lost touch with the most essential biological function of breathing. “Breath is the key to our overall well-being. No matter how well you eat, exercise, or how resilient your genes are, none of it matters if you’re not breathing correctly,” she shares.
Tattva’s integration of best-in-class electroencephalogram (EEG) technology sets it apart from other wellness startups. This technology provides real-time insights into brain activity during breathwork sessions, allowing individuals to achieve “peak mental state on-demand” by monitoring and optimizing their brain’s response to the breath and sound practices. Through this solution, Tattva offers a personalized and data-driven approach to well-being.
An Immersive Wellness Retreat in the Magical Costa Rican Cloud Forest
The startup’s offerings extend beyond breathwork workshops; it also offers immersive wellness retreats that enable driven, ambitious individuals to shatter limiting beliefs and craft an upgraded version of themselves. This upcoming exclusive retreat, in partnership with the Imiloa Institute, takes place on a 100-acre property in the heart of Costa Rican rainforest from September 22-28, 2024. With only 15-spots, this is once in a lifetime experience.
“We have chosen the location very carefully—it is the world’s first fully regenerated eco-luxury location in the beautiful rainforest of Costa Rica. This is an extremely intimate, luxurious, invite-only retreat,” explains Simran. “You see this land isn’t just any piece of land,this land has been lovingly stewarded and regenerated by a Costa Rican family for the past 50 years. The harmony and balance that has been cultivated between humans and nature is incredible. If you have been living life uninspired – on overdrive or autopilot, then this retreat will empower you to design and live your best life.“
Surrounded by the stunning natural beauty of the cloud forest, participants can disconnect from the stresses of daily life and immerse themselves in a transformative journey of self-discovery.
The all-inclusive 6-day retreat offers a combination of breathwork, hiking, sound healing, and gourmet plant-based cuisine, enabling participants to shed anger, frustrations, and disappointments, uncover subconscious patterns, and equip them with the tools to live with ease and resilience.
Tattva has garnered much praise from individuals who have experienced the power of their breathwork sessions and wellness retreats.
This feels like years of therapy in a single session…
