About Headspace
Headspace is a leading meditation app founded by a former Buddhist monk, offering guided meditations, sleep sounds, focus music, and mindfulness exercises. The app features structured courses for beginners through advanced meditators, covering stress, anxiety, sleep, focus, and relationships. Animations explain meditation concepts accessibly. Headspace for Work serves employers, and Headspace Health (acquired Ginger) offers clinical mental health services. The consumer app costs about $70/year after a free trial. Research studies show Headspace reduces stress and improves focus. Like Calm, it's a wellness tool rather than clinical treatment.
