Who am I
Behind Calmena
A personal project turned product
Understanding emetophobia from the inside means knowing exactly what you need to move forward.Affected by emetophobia
Calmena was born from personal experience. I live with emetophobia and I know how isolating it can be.
Developer by trade
I built the tools I wish I had: structured, progressive, respectful of everyone's pace.
Scientific foundations
The protocols are based on CBT literature on emetophobia (Craske, Boschen, Veale), not improvisation.
You are not alone
If you're reading these lines, you or a loved one may be living with emetophobia. I know what it's like. And I know that well-being is possible.
My promise: to give you the tools to regain control of your life, while respecting your privacy and at your own pace.
