solu’s mission is to bring peace and healing to people through sound.
We’re succeeding at this with our Tone Therapy technology. Tone Therapy is available in our hardware-based n.o.w. Tone Therapy System which has helped thousands of people better handle the stress and anxiety in their lives.
Soon, Tone Therapy will be available as a SaaS solution on the iOS, Android, and Alexa platforms, giving us the opportunity to help millions more.
We’re raising an angel round to accelerate our self-funded and bootstrapped success.

Tone Therapy by Solu is the simplest and most effective way to meditate.
A differentiated product to beat the competition.
How does Tone Therapy work?
Tone Therapy transcends the limitations of all current meditation products by offering the benefits of a meditation practice with no human-guided voice or body-worn device calibration. Just press ON, and listen.
Why is Tone Therapy more effective?
By eliminating a users propensity to judge the meditation app’s guide voice, or endure a body-worn device calibration process, Tone Therapy makes the present moment invitingly familiar, intriguingly different and judgment-free. This leads to easier and quicker user engagement, greater user retention and more benefits for the user.

“Amazing. The 3-minute-miracle! The N.O.W. system is easy to use, portable and most of all it works! A few minutes of “tones” provides me with positive energy to re-focus my day. It helps to relax when feeling stressed and helps to energize when feeling low. I have used this product for several months in both my personal and professional life. Finding a tool that is effective has been difficult until N.O.W. My clients and coworkers ask to use N.O.W. both children and adults alike. “

“We have been using this for a few days now and feel a sense of well being afterward. It’s hard to explain. We will keep using it. It’s super easy and very relaxing and refreshing.”
“I bought these after an accident in which I was trapped partially under a horse against a wire fence (my ankle was also dislocated by the horse). During the accident, I could not move or get a full breath and afterward, I started having acute panic symptoms of not being able to breathe. I would sit between the speakers and listen to 3 minutes of sound as many times as I needed during the day. It calmed me more than anything else. It is coming up on two months from the accident now and I am not having very much panic at this point. I still use them several times a day for calm.”
Korky
“I love these! I use them every night before sleep. Since I starting using them my fitness tracker confirms that I transition very rapidly to deep sleep and stay there several minutes longer than was normal for me before I started using them. They run for 3 minutes and I typically initiate them twice, but there are some occasions that I am asleep after the first 3 minutes.”
“Blood pressure is now controlled with much less medication due to using these once or twice a day…very pleasant experience every time. Thanks Michael Joly!”
“I keep these in my office to alleviate anxiety and reset my racing mind. I frequently got overwhelmed by stress at work and these are effective at calming me down and bringing me back into the moment. I also use these to restore focus before starting a task like writing or problem solving.”

Our technology is proprietary and portable with new products on the horizon.
solu’s proprietary aural neuromodulation content and composition engine delivers a different, individualized experience to each listener every time a Tone Therapy session is initiated. We have filed a provisional utility patent for this technology, and have made significant progress in porting our hardware product to multiple software platforms.
With Tone Therapy for Alexa, we’ve taken the proven success of our hardware-based n.o.w. Tone Therapy System and ported it to the Alexa platform. We’re about to release free and also affordable subscription-based versions thus enabling SaaS with MRR.
Our success on the Alexa platform will inform future efforts to deploy Tone Therapy on the iOS and Android platforms. We’re particularly excited about our special 1-minute, reset-the-day version of Tone Therapy that helps people use their ears to get away from the stress of what they see on their phones (or hear in their minds).

We are a team with experience and passion.
Founder / CEO
Michael Joly has a track record of success in professional and consumer audio product development, psychoacoustics and new business development (as former founder of OktavaMod). He is the co-developer of the n.o.w. Tone Therapy System, and led our first product’s reduction-to-engineering practice through to manufacture and marketing. Prior to solu, he pioneered the business concept of modifying inexpensive recording studio microphones to deliver results rivaling microphones costing 10 times more, turning Octavamod into an internationally recognized brand. Additionally Michael has long immersed himself in the study of Perennial Philosophy and Sound & Consciousness. He believes the heart must lead the mind; in that race, he claims he’s neck and neck.
n.o.w. Co-Developer & SVP
As an intuitive coach for individuals, Alene Sibley has spent over twenty years immersed in the psychology of chronic, problematic worry. Working with clients vulnerable to and preoccupied with a variety of stressors, she developed tactics for mindfulness through listening techniques. Practicing numerous healing modalities as applied for her clients (always with a preference for an effective hack), Alene explored ways to make healing and growth easier and faster. Her knowledge of the human condition combines at solu with communication and design skills, product innovations, and a steering of the company’s mission and messaging. In other words, she is the vocal—and effective—backseat driver at solu.
Customer Success Lead, Voice Content Talent & Developer
Ruane is an empathic leader with a passion for people and customer success. With over twenty years in design consultation, conference and event planning, and business development, Ruane has demonstrable achievements as a “Chief People Officer.” Ruane is active in community outreach, and brings to solu a history as an exceptional communicator capable of creating and maintaining connections at all levels. Ruane is also solu’s in-house voice talent––lending her uniquely mellifluous sound to our Tone Therapy for Alexa and other voice-based SaaS products.
A better future will come from compassionate hearts and calm minds. Try our demo and see the possibilities for yourself. Then contact me to explore how, with your help, we can make this happen.
