Somatic UX + Behavior Design Audit
Abstract Spirals
Somatic UX + Behavior Design Audit
A nervous-system–aware way to increase engagement, retention, and user trust.
Most digital-health products are built to change behavior.
Very few are built to support the nervous system doing that work.
A Somatic UX + Behavior Design Audit reveals where users feel overwhelmed, confused, or unsupported — and shows you how to create an experience that feels safer, clearer, and easier to stay with.

Why Somatic UX?
Design for what people feel, not just what they click.
Behavior change is not purely cognitive — it’s somatic.
When tension rises, clarity drops. When a user feels rushed, unsure, or overloaded, their nervous system quietly exits the experience.
Somatic UX helps you see:
Where overwhelm happens
Where cognitive or sensory load causes drop-off
Where safety signals are missing
Where small shifts in tone or pacing create ease
Where users need more capacity-building, not more instructions
When the body feels supported, behavior change becomes possible.
What You Receive
A gentle, thorough audit grounded in polyvagal science + behavior design.
Somatic UX Review
A full analysis of safety cues, pacing, overwhelm triggers, tone, and sensory load.
Behavior-Design Analysis
Where habits break down, where motivation doesn’t match capacity, and how to rebuild behavior loops.
Onboarding & Engagement Audit
Clarity, first impressions, cognitive and emotional load, and where users disconnect.
Trauma-Informed Communication Review
Consent, micro-repair opportunities, supportive language, and emotionally grounded instructions.
Somatic Behavior Map
A visual map showing how users move between states: safety → curiosity → engagement, or overwhelm → freeze → exit.
Actionable Recommendations
5–12 clear improvements you can implement immediately to support retention and user trust.
How It Works
A simple four-step process
1. Intake Call
A soft, pressure-free conversation about your product’s goals and challenges.
2. Full Audit
A deep review of your product using somatic UX, polyvagal science, trauma-informed design, and behavior-change frameworks.
3. Roadmap Delivery
A clean, organized document outlining insights, rewrites, design recommendations, and somatic behavior pathways.
4. Walkthrough Session
A 60–90 minute live session to review findings, prioritize changes, and translate everything into immediate next steps.
Optional add-on: Implementation support + team training.
Who This Is For
This audit is ideal for:
