iMUSE - iMUSE for Wellbeing

iMUSE is a 1-to-1 therapeutic multi-sensory experience. It provides a safe space where you can relax, forget the outside world, feel anxiety and stress levels reduce, and take control of your wellbeing. 

iMUSE uses interactive technology to help you:

  • Relax – a vibrating mattress gently massages the body to a soothing rhythm. This helps calm and focus the mind, relax the muscles, and reduce anxiety and stress.

  • Make or listen to music –  you don’t need any previous musical experience to make your own music with iMUSE. Motion sensors detect your movements and turn them into sounds. Or you can just listen to some of your favourite music.

  • Create visuals –  visuals respond to sounds in the room and iMUSE transforms them into calming moving images. Or you can choose your favourite images or video.

iMUSE is totally customisable, so you can design your experience to support your wellbeing, depending on how you’re feeling on the day.  

Each 1-to-1 session lasts for 30 minutes. Our facilitator works with you to find out which sounds, music and visuals help you relax and focus. They then use these to personalise your iMUSE experience so it’s tailor-made for you.
