The MindTastik Editorial Team: Who Writes Our Guides and How They Are Checked
MindTastik guides on meditation, sleep, anxiety and everyday calm are written by a small in-house editorial team at ATN Marketing SRL, the company that develops the MindTastik meditation app (listed on the App Store as Breathe Meditation for Sleep). This page explains how the team is organized, how an article moves from a reader question to a published page, which sources we accept, and where our guidance stops.
The short version: every guide belongs to one section team, every study or statistic links to its original source, every page shows when it was last updated, and nothing on this site is medical advice.
Our section teams
Instead of one generic byline, each article is owned by the desk that covers its topic. The desk is responsible for keeping the page accurate and current.
| Team | What it covers | Start here |
|---|---|---|
| MindTastik Sleep Team | Sleep meditation, bedtime routines, waking at night, sleep sounds and soundscapes | Sleep meditation and bedtime routines |
| MindTastik Anxiety and Stress Team | Meditation and breathing for anxiety, stress, worry, panic and negative thinking | Meditation for anxiety and stress |
| MindTastik Meditation Techniques Team | Beginner guides, specific techniques, mindfulness exercises, quick calming tools and the research behind them | Meditation techniques |
| MindTastik Mindful Living and Work Team | Mindfulness at work, focus, procrastination, mindful eating, gratitude and daily life | Mindfulness at work |
| MindTastik Family and Pregnancy Team | Meditation for kids and families, pregnancy meditation and hypnobirthing | Pregnancy meditation |
| MindTastik Hypnotherapy and Mindset Team | Hypnotherapy, self-hypnosis, identity change, affirmations and manifestation practices | Hypnotherapy |
| MindTastik App Reviews Team | Meditation app comparisons, alternatives, pricing and feature checks | Meditation app alternatives |
How an article goes from question to published page
- Pick a real question. Topics come from questions readers ask in search, app reviews and support messages, such as how long a beginner should meditate or whether white noise helps sleep.
- Build a research brief. The desk collects primary sources first: systematic reviews, randomized trials, PubMed records, and guidance from health bodies such as the NIH, NCCIH, NHS and national sleep and psychology associations.
- Draft for the reader. The writer explains the practice in plain steps, says who it suits, and states the limits. Claims are worded to match the strength of the evidence.
- Fact-check. An editor checks every number, study description and quotation against the source it links to. A claim without a working source is cut.
- Safety review. Pages about anxiety, panic, trauma, pregnancy, insomnia or medication are checked for wording that could delay professional care, and include when to seek help.
- Publish with dates. Each page shows when it was written and when it was last updated. The updated date only changes when the content changes.
- Review and update. High-traffic guides and app comparisons are revisited regularly, and any page is reopened when new research, a price change or a reader report makes it necessary.
Which sources we accept
The source has to match the claim. A health benefit needs research; a feature or price needs the official listing.
- Health and benefit claims: peer-reviewed studies, meta-analyses and systematic reviews, PubMed records, and government or academic health pages.
- Practice instructions: established programs such as MBSR and guidance from clinical and professional bodies, explained in our own words.
- App facts: App Store and Google Play listings, company pricing pages and help centers, each checked on the date shown on the page.
- Not accepted as evidence: marketing pages, anonymous forum posts, or articles that do not name their own sources.
When the evidence is thin or mixed, the guide says so. "May help some people wind down" and "treats insomnia" are different claims, and we only make the first kind unless research supports more.
How we handle app reviews when we make an app
We develop MindTastik, so we have a commercial interest in meditation apps. To keep comparisons useful, every review and alternatives page follows the same rules: competitor facts come from official sources and are dated, each page states plainly who should choose the other app, and drawbacks of MindTastik stay visible. If you spot a competitor detail that has changed, tell us and we will update it.
Why we use team bylines
Our writers and editors prefer not to publish their personal names, so articles carry the name of the responsible section team. This keeps accountability with a desk that maintains the topic over time. A team byline is never a claim of clinical authorship: when a licensed professional reviews a page, they are named on that page with their role.
Medical disclaimer
MindTastik content is wellness education. It does not diagnose, treat or prevent any condition, and it is not a substitute for therapy, medication guidance or medical care. If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, contact local emergency services or a crisis line in your country right away. Persistent insomnia, panic attacks, depression or trauma symptoms deserve assessment by a qualified professional.

FAQ
Who writes the articles on MindTastik?
Articles are written and edited by the in-house editorial team at ATN Marketing SRL, the company that develops the MindTastik app. The team works in section desks such as Sleep, Anxiety and Stress, and App Reviews, and the byline on each article names the desk responsible for it.
Why do articles show a team byline instead of a personal name?
Team bylines protect the privacy of staff and make one desk accountable for each topic. A team byline never means a clinician wrote the article. If a licensed professional reviews a page, that person is named separately with their credentials.
Are MindTastik articles medical advice?
No. The guides are wellness education about meditation, sleep habits, breathing and relaxation. They do not diagnose, treat or replace therapy, medication guidance, crisis support or emergency care.
How do you check statistics and study claims?
Every statistic or study result in a guide must link to its original source, such as a journal article, a PubMed record or a health organization page. Links are checked before publication and again when a page is updated, and claims without a working source are removed.
How are app comparisons kept fair when you make your own app?
We disclose that we develop MindTastik on every comparison. Competitor prices, platforms and features are taken from official app store listings and company pages, dated, and refreshed when they change. Each comparison also says who should pick the other app.
How can I report a mistake?
Use the email address on this page or the contact page. Reports are checked against the original source, and when a correction is material the page is updated and its updated date changes.
