Much like a musician who tunes their instrument to keep it in a state of exemplary performance, these proprietary frequency compositions are designed to shift the body from a fight-or-flight state to a rest-and-recovery state, reset stress hormones, and balance the left and right hemispheres of the brain during an immersive, sensory experience. The 15-minute process “tunes” the body and mind on a physiological level, switching the body to an optimal functional and emotional state and facilitating presence, relaxation, and happiness. After the session, the mind is clear, the body is relaxed, and guests feel like their best self, the way the body is designed and intended to feel. See attached for more info.
