Remie the Red Panda Weighted Animal

Pookie the Panda uses Deep Pressure Therapy (DPT) a calming technique that applies gentle pressure to the body, similar to the feeling of a hug. This pressure activates your parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for helping you relax, recharge, and feel safe.

When you hug Pookie or let his weighted arms wrap around you, it sends a signal to your brain that says:

"You're safe. You can slow down now."

This physical cue helps:

• Lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone)
• Reduce anxiety and overwhelm
• Calm racing thoughts
• Boost serotonin and dopamine (your happy and feel-good chemicals)
• Support better focus and sleep

Whether you’re at your desk, in bed, or on the couch, Pookie provides an instant wave of calm when you need it most.
