About us

The artist and author behind this book began creating her own self-care journal two years ago as a way to find structure and meaning during a challenging time.

The result is a thoughtfully designed blend of practical structure, inspiration and self-reflection exercises to inspire people to live a life in balance and health.

The word “Urban” is English and refers to city life, symbolizing the modern person living in an urban, fast paced environment.

The word “Ohm” comes from Sanskrit and can also be spelled “Om” or “Aum.” Ohm is said to be the primal sound of the universe, the original vibration behind all that exists.

While not tied to any particular religion, Ohm appears in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Ohm is often used as a mantra in meditation, and many yoga classes begin and end with the group chanting “Ohm” three times to tune in and tune out. The sound of Ohm is believed to help create focus, calm, and presence.

Through thoughtfully designed journals that blends modern Scandinavian aesthetics with the timeless importance of self-care, we aim to support people in creating meaningful, mindful moments in their daily lives. By cultivating analog habits and deliberate moments of stillness in a fast-paced digital world, we can reconnect with our inner core and experience greater calm, presence, and focus on what truly matters.

Welcome to the grounding world of Urban Ohm.
