I originally created neoflo for myself
For years, I lived with intense stress and paralyzing anxiety. As a biomedical engineer, I eventually built the tool I wish I’d had: a belt that guides breathing through touch.
Here's how neoflo came to be, and everything that's happened since.
My problem wasn't the technique. It was actually practicing
Stress and breathing
A racing heart, rumination, insomnia... To ease these symptoms, many people advised me to try slow deep breathing.
Too many difficulties
Slow deep breathing is simple: just slow your breathing to about 6 breaths per minute. But on my own, using just an app, I stayed tense and lost focus after a few minutes: counting, staring at the screen, concentrating… exactly the things that are hard to do when you’re stressed.
The idea
What if the body, not the mind, guided slow deep breathing? After years in the medical device industry, I designed a belt that guides breathing through touch and sets the rhythm with gentle vibrations on the abdomen.
From the idea to your living room
The choice to change course
After 12 years in the medical device industry supporting cardiologists during procedures, I left my job to dedicate myself to a more personal project.
A thesis on breathing and stress
MBA in Healthcare Marketing and Communication at IAE Paris-Sorbonne. My thesis focused on stress management through breathing, that’s where neoflo took shape.

After months of fine-tuning the vibrations and testing, neoflo reached its first users.
In the press
neoflo is the "hidden gem" of the show "La France bouge" on Europe 1 radio and is featured on "Le Magazine de la Santé" on France TV.

Designed with a Doctor
From the very beginning of neoflo, Dr. Thomas Cantaloup has contributed his clinical expertise. He created the way you learn to breathe with the belt.

In my practice, I saw how underused breathing is as a tool for regulating stress.
Built to the highest standards
The belt design is protected by a European patent and was awarded a prize at the Concours Lépine.
The programs were developed with haptics specialists, then adjusted session after session.
Hundreds of people tried the belt before its launch, including at our stand at the Concours Lépine.
The breathing training and support programs were developed with Dr. Thomas Cantaloup.
