Music directly impacts brain networks controlling stress, emotions, and reward. Spiritune harnesses this through a scientifically rigorous approach developed with Stanford University and NYU researchers, using neuroscientific music parameters along with the ISO principle—music that matches your current emotional state, then gradually transitions you to your desired state.
Our 30+ professional composers create therapeutic music following strict "sonic recipes" with precise parameters for rhythm, tonality, harmonic progression and more. We use AI-supported analysis to ensure therapeutic specifications are met, delivering consistent results backed by decades of music therapy research.
I’ve been committed to unlocking music’s therapeutic power for people and organizations ever since facing my own struggles with stress during a decade in the high-pressure world of NYC finance. I realized firsthand how limited and impersonal most mental health resources can feel — and how many people, like me, were searching for solutions that were both accessible and truly effective.
“When I understood that this wasn’t just my problem, but a global one, I knew I had to act — and I believed music could be part of the solution.”
Music is one of the most powerful stimuli we have. It activates the same brain networks involved in stress regulation, emotion, motivation, and reward.
That insight, combined with my lifelong personal experiences — growing up with a mother with severe hearing loss and a sister who studied music therapy — shaped my understanding of how deeply sound affects our health and our lives.
That’s what inspired the creation of Spiritune: a way to merge the clinical benefits of music therapy with the everyday accessibility of audio, helping people manage stress, regulate emotions, and feel better — naturally.
In a world where the majority of people wear headphones and listen to music every day, Spiritune is reimagining audio as a tool for better health — enabling people to support their emotional wellbeing and performance, every day.
Spiritune partners with organizations that prioritize wellbeing
From innovative employers enhancing their wellness offerings to healthcare providers seeking complementary approaches to traditional care. Together, we're making impactful, accessible support available to more people.
After spending a decade navigating the high-stress world of NYC finance, I realized the stress and anxiety I was experiencing wasn’t unique — it was part of a much larger, global mental health challenge. That realization, combined with my personal connection to sound and health — shaped by growing up with a mother with severe hearing loss and a sister who studied music therapy — led me to launch Spiritune.
Spiritune brings together neuroscience, music therapy, and digital technology to create a modern, evidence-based approach to mental wellness. Our goal is to help people manage stress, regulate emotions, and enhance focus through the power of sound. I am also honored to serve on the Executive Council for the Yale Child Study Center and the Board of Directors for the Institute for Music & Neurologic Function.
Dr. Tomaino is a pioneer in the field of music therapy. In addition to co-founding the IMNF in 1995, Dr. Tomaino was President of the American Association for Music Therapy, a founding board member of the International Association for Music and Medicine , and, Senior Vice President for Music Therapy at CenterLight Health System, (formerly Beth Abraham Family of Health Services). Internationally known for her research in the clinical applications of music and neurologic rehabilitation, Dr. Tomaino lectures around the world to help students and doctors alike to understand the healing powers of music.
Dr. Bowling is Director of the Music, Brain & Health Lab at Stanford School of Medicine. His translational research harnesses the neural effects of music to develop personalized music-based treatments for health and wellness, with a particular focus on anxiety and depression in young adults. His approach integrates expertise in neuroscience, bioacoustics, and psychiatry to apply insights from music's biological foundations to medicine. Dr. Bowling earned his PhD in Neurobiology from Duke University School of Medicine and holds graduate certificates in Cognitive Neuroscience and Translational Medicine. He has authored over 40 peer-reviewed publications in leading journals including Science, PNAS, and Molecular Psychiatry. His research program has been funded by a combination of federal and private sources, including the National Institutes of Health, NeuroArts Blueprint, and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
