WONE | Where Stress Science Meets Soul to Redefine Resilience
Our purpose
To build stress intelligence in 100M lives; and inspire a more preventative model of health.
Our belief: We have lost the ability to read our body’s signals and have been taught that stress is the currency of success which is leading to chronic illness and low performance. By reading our stress signals clearly, we attain health longevity and our true potential.
Our founder
Reeva Misra began her journey in a neuroscience lab at Oxford, before moving into tech applications of AI in healthcare, becoming VP Strategy at BenevolentAI. There, she saw a stark truth: while most diseases are chronic and stress is a leading risk factor, healthcare overwhelmingly focuses on treatment rather than prevention.
In 2020, to close this gap, Reeva founded Walking on Earth, blending neuroscience, AI, and behavioural science with the ancient wisdom of her Indian heritage. By starting in the workplace, where stress is most acute yet often ignored, Reeva is pioneering a new model of preventative health to help people build resilience and thrive.
Our name
Our name, WONE, is derived from “Walking on Earth”, inspired by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh’s teaching: “People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is to walk on earth… Every day we are engaged in a miracle we don’t even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves… our own two eyes. All is a miracle.”
Walking on Earth is more than a name, it is our philosophy. A daily reminder that true health begins with connection: to yourself, to others, and to the world we share. Modern life trains us to override these signals. To push harder and grind though. Inspired by the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, WONE is an invitation to listen again. The wisdom invites us to listen and the science helps us listen earlier.
Our vision
What if artificial intelligence didn’t just help us understand stress, but changed how we respond to it? What if we could intervene before pressure hardens into burnout, before stress becomes illness, and before performance quietly erodes?
We believe the future of human health begins here: where stress is mapped, measured, and managed in real-time. Where the right micro-intervention shifts your state in the moment, reshapes the rhythm of your day, and protects the course of your life.
The philosophies we live by
-
Campaign with compassion
We lead with values and are bold in our conviction. Our number one value is authenticity. Our values and beliefs shape how we show up for one another, and how we lead the change we believe the world needs.
-
Human expert and impact led
We don't launch features based on trends, we validate with scientific research. The WONE Index sets the gold standard in stress science, with breakthrough integrations turning signals into insight, and insight into action.
-
Ancient practice, modern science
We present a new model of health, by combining ancient practices like breathwork, meditation and nutrition, with neuroscience, behaviour science, AI and data. We believe this intersection is where excellence exists.
-
Live and breathe by example
We are building a new model of the future workplace. One that sustains longer and grows faster by putting health and values first. We track our own stress intelligence, model recovery and embody the culture we champion.
