Three‑minute mastery

Reset between shifts, during a break, or right before a call—calm that fits real life.

English & Spanish written for equivalence and dignity—not just translation.

Low‑tech friendly

No logins, light on data, big tap targets, clear words. WhatsApp & SMS on the roadmap.

Our stance
Every breath deserves a mother tongue.
Access beats perfection. Kindness beats complexity.
Calm should be three minutes away, not three months.

Founder’s Story

Gagandeep

I grew up in rural villages in Punjab before moving to the U.S., where family work eventually brought me to the Yakima Valley. CalmaLink began as something simple I could give back—especially to farmworkers and caregivers who rarely get a quiet minute.

I’m a 4th‑year medical student and a member of the Asylum Medicine Society. This is a solo, grassroots project—meant for anyone who needs a calm minute, in English or Spanish.
