iMUSE for Mental Wellbeing
Description
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 has been shown to bring a range of benefits including:
- feeling more relaxed
- reducing feelings of stress and anxiety
- enhancing communication and talking therapies
- feeling more grounded
- finding enjoyment in being creative
iMUSE is open to anyone who needs it. See below for more information about the different iMUSE programmes we run.
Individual sessions last for 30 minutes and our facilitator works with you to find out which sounds, music, and visuals work best for you. These are then used to personalise your iMUSE experience so it’s tailor-made for you.
We also offer additional support so you can continue your iMUSE experience by building it into your regular self-care routine at home.
