VeRelief was born from the founder’s personal battle with intense performance anxiety as a competitive golfer. Despite trying traditional methods like breathing techniques, medications, and mindfulness, nothing effectively calmed the panic he experienced on the tee. This frustration drove him to pursue a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering , where he combined personal experience with scientific innovation to develop VeRelief—the world’s first device designed to instantly interrupt panic and spiraling stress, providing immediate mental clarity and calm.
