BrainTap & Vibroacoustic
BrainTap and Vibroacoustic Relaxation Sessions
BrainTap is a guided audio-and-light relaxation session; the vibroacoustic mat adds gentle sound vibration you can feel. Both are ways to wind down. Neither is care for anxiety, depression or sleep disorders.
The Basics
About stress and relaxation
Everyday stress builds up: busy weeks, long commutes, never quite switching off. Some people find it hard to relax on cue, even when they try meditation. A guided session gives you a set time and a set routine to wind down. If stress, low mood, anxiety or poor sleep is affecting your life, talk to your doctor or a mental health professional. Those are health conditions, and a relaxation session isn't a substitute for care.
What a Session Is Like
What happens in a session?
For BrainTap, you lie back with a headset that plays a guided audio track while light glasses show gentle pulses of light. You just listen. On the Wave Oasis vibroacoustic mat, you lie down and feel soft sound vibrations through the mat while music plays. Many clients use either one as quiet time in the middle of a busy week.
The Evidence
What does the research show?
The research on BrainTap is very thin. One randomized trial, in women with fibromyalgia, found that both BrainTap and music therapy improved outcomes; it didn't show BrainTap was better than music, and it wasn't a study of everyday stress. We don't cite any studies for the vibroacoustic mat. We offer both as relaxation sessions, not as care for any condition.

FAQ
Common Questions: Stress and Relaxation
Does BrainTap work for stress?
Many people find it relaxing. The research is very thin: one small trial in women with fibromyalgia found BrainTap and music therapy both improved outcomes, and it wasn't a study of stress. We offer it as a relaxation session, not as care for anxiety or any other condition.
What if I can't meditate?
That's who tends to like it. You don't need to do anything but lie back and listen to the guided audio. If it isn't for you, that's fine too.
Can BrainTap help with anxiety or sleep problems?
We don't make that claim. If anxiety, depression or poor sleep is affecting your life, please talk to your doctor or a mental health professional.
Who shouldn't use BrainTap's light glasses?
Anyone with epilepsy or a history of seizures, and anyone with a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, should skip the light glasses and talk to their doctor first. If you're pregnant, check with your doctor before booking.
