Cool Koala: Bedtime Meditation

We have tried many different methods of helping our boys calm down before bedtime. Cool Koala is the only meditation app that has resonated with my boys and has become an essential part of our bedtime routine. The meditations rotate with nightly themes, but follow the same structure so my kids know what to expect (so important!). Additionally, it is not too long or too short, introduces social-emotional coping strategies and wraps with quick affirmations. Highly recommend!!

I cannot say enough good things about cool koala! My 6yr old son looks forward to bedtime every night and always looks forward to meeting cool koalas friends in each meditation! We have found it has helped him relax and he has woke up in the middle of the night and has wanted us to put it back on to help him go back to sleep. So far it has been very helpful with his anxiety and has been relaxing him right to sleep!

Fantastic podcast we do this 80% of our nights! We even set the smart lightbulbs to get the perfect mood lighting every night. The kids love it (imagination time is their favorite) and my wife and I love the wind down it provides. We really appreciate the thought you’ve put into this app.

Our 4 year old has ADHD and bedtime was such a struggle. Sometimes lasting 2+ hours. We were tired, frustrated, and hopeless. After adding Cool Koala to our routine, he’s usually asleep after the music finishes. We love the characters, the lessons, and the music. We also requested the personalized meditation which was a huge win with our son.

Thank you Ryan and Cool Koala for such a beautiful addition to our bedtime routine! Not only do these meditations help my son relax into sleep, they provide him with helpful tools he can use during his day to deal with stress, anxiety, worry, frustration and to help cultivate a grateful heart. My son regularly asks to listen to Cool Koala before bed! Thank you so much!

This app put me to sleep! Most nights I have trouble sleeping but with this I was asleep as soon as they stopped speaking and I the next morning I felt so refreshed and ready to go. I haven’t slept so well in a long time. Love this app so much and I’m so grateful for it!

My brother loves this app! Me and him use it every night!

Ryan & Cool Koala have become part of our bedtime routine & we couldn’t be happier. My 7 year old daughter is in the 2nd grade & she’s definitely a busy body... Sometimes it’s hard to get her to calm & wind down at night because her brain is still going going going. Ever since Ryan & Cool Koala have become a part of our bedtime routine, our nights have been more peaceful, more loving, more calm, & more beautiful. My daughter requests it every single night without fail. Not only do the meditations get her to sleep fast 100 percent of the time, but they’re also very informative & teach kids about beautiful things like… Positive feelings & emotions, being loved, empowerment, being grateful, letting go of negatively, finding inner peace & so much more. Ryan’s voice is so inviting & so soothing that even I have found myself dozing off quite a few times. Lol. The icing on the cake was when I sent Ryan a request for a “personalized meditation” for my daughter & he emailed us one back fairly quickly! My daughter was so surprised when I played it for her that night. “Mommy OMG they said my naaaaammme OMG” & she jumped out of bed with excitement lol. That was the only night where it took us a bit longer to get to sleep because she insisted on me playing the part where they said her name over & over again. What joy! We are very grateful to have found an app that can truly integrate into our lives. Give this app a try. It’s amazing, it’s simple, it’s user friendly, & so very rewarding.

I downloaded the Cool Koala app in order to help my son calm down at the end of the day and prepare for bedtime. After using this app for several months, I have seen a remarkable positive impact not only at bedtime, but throughout the day. The meditations offer breathing and visualization techniques which prove to be helpful in various situations (for example, imagining your worries put into a balloon and drifting away into the sky), and our son now asks to listen to Cool Koala every night. From Ryan's calm voice to the relaxing accompanying guitar music, we have found this app and the meditations it provides to be the ideal way to close each day with our son. We highly recommend this app!

Highly recommend! My son loves it and it helps him fall asleep quickly
