SoliVana Wellness Lab is marking three years in Redwood City while sharpening its focus on stress, burnout and anxiety relief for Silicon Valley workers. The center is also offering corporate resilience programs for Peninsula and South Bay technology employers, reflecting a workplace wellness market that now reaches beyond gym stipends and meditation apps.
The business operates at 1922 El Camino Real and was founded by Natasha Berness and Anna Berness, two former enterprise executives. SoliVana describes itself as the Bay Area’s first dedicated nervous-system recovery center.
The center’s model is built around 16 therapies delivered across nine private treatment rooms. Its services include float therapy, fire-and-ice contrast therapy, PEMF sessions, red light therapy, NeuroVIZR Brain Reset, infrared sauna, halotherapy, pressotherapy, Bowen therapy and energy healing.
SoliVana says the therapies were selected for their effects on the parasympathetic nervous system, cortisol regulation and recovery from accumulated physiological stress. The company positions the center as a structured recovery setting for high-performing professionals, rather than a conventional day spa or general wellness studio.
Natasha Berness, co-founder and chief executive, said the business grew out of her own search for recovery after 25 years in high-pressure enterprise roles. Her background includes enterprise transformation work spanning Big Four management consulting and Silicon Valley companies, according to SoliVana.
Anna Berness, co-founder and chief marketing officer, leads brand, marketing and client experience for the center. The founders have framed the business around a workplace-performance lens, with services arranged for clients seeking recovery from sustained stress.
The company says it has served more than 500 clients since opening and has a 5.0-star rating across more than 300 verified reviews. Its new corporate programs are designed for local tech employers seeking structured recovery and resilience protocols for teams.
The nervous-system recovery programs in Redwood City extend the center’s consumer services into the employer benefits space. For companies trying to address burnout, offerings like these sit in the growing area between clinical mental health care and consumer wellness.
