Wellness without Borders, Powered by VR

Our mission 
At VRenity, we bring wellness to our frontline heroes with a revolutionary approach to well-being. We empower military personnel, law enforcement, first responders, doctors, nurses, air traffic controllers, and others in high-stress roles through immersive virtual reality experiences designed to combat burnout. By fostering mental, physical, and emotional balance, we ensure those who protect, heal, and serve have the tools to restore their strength, resilience, and focus—enabling them to continue their vital work with renewed energy and purpose.

I’m Nolie MacDonald, a Seattle-based founder and passionate advocate for workplace wellness and innovation. With a background spanning AI, digital marketing, and workplace analytics, I founded VRenity to transform how we approach well-being in high-stress environments. My career began as a Crime Analyst for the Port of Seattle Police, and through a series of roles in technology, I’ve been committed to advocating for mental wellness—a cause close to my heart as a trauma survivor.

VRenity is a revolutionary VR platform designed specifically for high-pressure roles such as law enforcement, military, healthcare, and air traffic control, where burnout rates are significantly higher than other fields, yet resources for detecting and preventing burnout remain limited. Through immersive, AI-powered experiences, VRenity empowers individuals in these critical roles to decompress, build resilience, and regain a sense of well-being.

VRenity key differentiators:

  • AI Life Coaches with Unique Personalities

VRenity’s AI life coaches are trained with distinct personalities, each tailored to provide specific emotional and mental health support. From upbeat and motivating to calm and reflective, these life coaches cater to diverse needs, creating a truly personalized wellness experience.

  • Mental Health Focus at the Core

Unlike traditional AI companions, VRenity’s life coaches are specifically designed to foster emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and resilience through therapeutic dialogue and guidance.

  • Future-Ready Workforce Dashboard

Our Workforce Dashboard provides organizations with anonymized insights into employee wellness, helping identify stress and burnout trends while promoting proactive mental health strategies at scale.

  • Therapist Marketplace with Full-Body Avatars

A planned feature on our roadmap, the Therapist Marketplace will connect users with certified human therapists for virtual talk therapy, complete with full-body avatars to create an engaging and immersive therapeutic experience.

  • Immersive Wellness for Any Environment

With controller-free navigation and multilingual support in over 50 languages, VRenity ensures accessibility for users across industries, from healthcare to corporate sectors, providing stress relief, mindfulness, and emotional support anytime, anywhere.

  • Innovation in VR Therapy and Wellness

As a platform blending AI, NLP, and VR, VRenity uniquely combines immersive experiences with data-driven insights to address burnout, improve well-being, and enhance emotional intelligence at both personal and organizational levels.

Contributors to VRenity aren’t just supporting a product; they’re joining our mission to make wellness accessible, impactful, and transformative. Every contribution drives us closer to launching VRenity globally, reaching those who need it most. Thank you for considering this journey to make a lasting impact on workplace wellness.

Help Us Transform Workplace Wellness

We’re raising $100,000 to launch VRenity, a revolutionary VR platform that addresses burnout and mental fatigue in high-stress professions. These roles, from healthcare and law enforcement to air traffic control, face intense demands with limited resources to manage burnout—making our work both urgent and impactful.

Why We’re Raising Funds

Our mission is to support those who protect, care for, and guide us by providing immersive experiences that help them manage stress, build resilience, and find wellness in their daily lives. With $100,000, we’ll fast-track development, expand our offerings, and bring VRenity to platforms like Steam and the Meta Quest store. These funds will allow us to:

Launch Globetrotter as an exciting addition to our existing experiences (8D Soundbath, Trailblazer, and Teleport to Tranquility). Globetrotter allows users to virtually explore lush, calming properties worldwide, including tranquil retreats in India, Bali, and beyond.

Develop a Workforce Dashboard that captures in-app insights, tracking stress levels over time to support proactive wellness initiatives.

Conduct Beta Testing with target audiences to fine-tune our platform and ensure it meets the specific needs of high-stress roles.

Build our Infrastructural Team with essential roles in sales, HR, and customer support to ensure strong growth and user support.

Expand our Product Library to include a range of AI-guided experiences and tools to enhance user engagement.

Go-to-Market (GTM) Strategy to launch VRenity for individual and organizational use on a monthly or annual subscription, available on both Steam and Meta Quest.

Contributor Perks

Contributors at the $100 level will receive an exclusive early access to the VRenity platform and the opportunity to contribute feedback that could be implemented in future platform enhancements. Those investing $500 or more will enjoy six months of free access to the platform plus VRenity swag bag.

Thank you for helping us make a meaningful impact on workplace wellness.

Risks & Challenges

As we bring VRenity to life, we’re navigating a few significant challenges. Here’s a transparent look at the risks involved and how we’re prepared to overcome them:

1. VR Adoption

VR is still an emerging technology, and we recognize that adopting it may be gradual, especially in professional environments. Our plan includes launching VRenity across platforms—Meta Quest, Steam, and PC desktop—to increase accessibility and ease users into VR experiences at their own pace. Additionally, our intuitive design prioritizes user-friendly navigation to make the transition into VR smooth and inviting.

2. Comfort with AI Agents

VRenity includes interactions with an AI guide, Nerdle, designed to foster openness and engagement. We understand that speaking with an AI can feel unfamiliar, so we’ve developed Nerdle with a warm, approachable personality to build trust and encourage users to share their experiences in a safe, judgment-free environment. Our AI guide has been carefully designed to feel natural, comforting, and genuinely supportive.

3. Financial Constraints

Building and scaling VRenity requires substantial resources, and we’re committed to ongoing fundraising efforts to support our growth. Once we establish 3-6 months of steady revenue, we will pursue a VC seed round to provide VRenity with a 12-24 month runway. This seed funding will enable us to continue development, expand our reach, and bring VRenity’s wellness solutions to more users and organizations.

4. Competitive Landscape

In a crowded wellness and VR market, VRenity stands out through unique, advanced features. Our predictive analytics Workforce Dashboard enables proactive support by tracking stress levels and offering insights over time. Additionally, our phase 3 roadmap includes a multiplayer mode with full-body avatars, allowing users to participate in virtual sessions with human therapists. This planned functionality will make VRenity a versatile platform for both self-guided and therapist-assisted wellness, setting us apart as a comprehensive, future-ready solution in VR wellness.

By focusing on these differentiators, we are well-positioned to offer unparalleled, innovative wellness support and stay ahead in a competitive landscape.
