When you breathe better, you feel better. This is your Shift.

The Shift slows your breath to reverse anxiety in seconds.

Patent Awarded design, the Shift silently guides long exhales that trigger the vagus nerve to calm the mind and body. Wearing the Shift creates the habit of breathing better so you can do life better.

The Fastest Calm Down
Formula.

Stanford University tested the physiological sigh
as the fastest way to calm the nervous system. The
Shift makes it easy and habitual.

1 DEEP inhale through nose

2 INHALE again sharply

3 EXHALE through the Shift to release tension

Hear what the experts are saying.

Dr. Sara Rabinovitch, PHD

“I have found this to be immensely beneficial. What I think is brilliant about the Shift is that you can feel it around your neck and you get into the habit of using it to feel calm. I would recommend this product times 5,000 to anyone.”

She was drowning in anxiety.
He was stressed out.

Meet Todd and Vanessa Steinberg, co-founders of Komuso Design. They created the Shift because they felt like passengers in their own lives: overwhelmed by anxiety and stress, feeling disconnected, searching for answers.

This is their story

Got questions?
We’d love to help.

For example: why do I need help breathing if it happens automatically; or, couldn’t I just breathe through a straw and receive the same benefits? Here’s a list of the most common questions we get about the Shift, and our answers.

If you have more questions, hit us up on social. We are committed to supporting your breathing journey every step of the way.

Most people know that slower breathing works to relax them, yet still don’t do it. Why? Because we take 23,000 breaths per day and they’re all unconscious. The Shift is physical and because you’re wearing it, those slower breaths become more consistent as a daily practice. Whether you’re stuck in traffic, can’t sleep at night, or simply have an anxious mind…The Shift is there to immediately bring you back to calm.

Think of your inhalations as the gas pedal and your exhalations as the brakes. Stress triggers short inhales which launches you into ‘fight or flight’ mode. With 50,000 thoughts and 150 phone notifications everyday, we enter this state of mind too often which makes us feel tired and tense. Extending your exhales immediately reverses this state within two minutes by lowering cortisol (stress hormone), blood pressure, and heart rate. We used this proven science to engineer a tool that allows you to access these longer exhales more often which makes you breathe better as a habit.

The Shift is the first of its kind so we can appreciate the initial confusion. We were inspired by a proven straw breathing technique to silently calm the mind but wanted to design something more practical and worn as a commitment to breathing better. We use medical grade 316 stainless steel with precious metal colors baked though so it can be used safely everyday. We also tested and patented the tube length and diameter in order to create ideal exhalations that physiologically trigger calm. You could absolutely use a straw but we found that random sizing can be ineffective and flatten in your pocket. Wearing The Shift as a necklace is a commitment to breathing better as a daily habit which makes you feel better whenever you need a breather.

You can test drive The Shift for 30 days risk free. If it hasn’t changed the way you feel, we’ll send you a free postage label (if located in the US) to ship it back for a full refund. You have nothing to lose, except anxiety.
