Deep Relaxation Therapy
Use the Power of Sound Healing and Vibration to Calm and Relax your Body in Minutes....
At Shine Health & Wellness, Deep Relaxation Therapy isn’t just about feeling relaxed — it’s about signalling safety to your nervous system so your body can finally begin to repair, regulate, and restore itself.
Restore balance. Calm the nervous system. Heal at the deepest level.
The Problem with Modern Living: A Nervous System That Never Switches Off
Most people today live in a constant state of fight-or-flight — often without realising it.
Work pressure. Emotional stress. Information overload. Screens. Poor sleep. Constant stimulation.
Over time, the nervous system becomes stuck in “on” mode:
Elevated stress hormones
Shallow breathing
Tight muscles
Digestive issues
Poor sleep
Brain fog
Emotional overwhelm
Slower healing and recovery
When the nervous system never switches into rest-and-repair, the body cannot heal — no matter how healthy your diet or lifestyle is.
Deep Relaxation Therapy is designed to interrupt this cycle at its root.
What is Deep Relaxation Therapy?
Deep Relaxation Therapy is a form of vibroacoustic sound therapy delivered through a specialised waterbed with speakers underneath.
During a session, you lie fully clothed on a warm, supportive waterbed while carefully selected sound frequencies and tones are transmitted through the water and into your body.
This creates a deeply calming, full-body experience that works below conscious thought, directly on the nervous system and brain.
Why Sound + Water is so Powerful
The human body is approximately 70% water.
Sound travels five times faster through water than through air, which means these frequencies move effortlessly through your tissues, muscles, organs, and cells.
Unlike hands-on therapies that work from the outside in, sound therapy works from the inside out.
This creates what researchers call cellular resonance — where cells begin vibrating at healthier, more regulated frequencies.
This is not surface-level relaxation.
It is deep, structural regulation happening at a cellular level.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Absorb oxygen deeper into your body to heal faster
Short-Term Benefits of HBOT
HBOT has developed a successful track record of helping patients who have been diagnosed with numerous conditions.
Outside of the FDA-approved uses for HBOT therapy, there are now over 120 internationally recognized indications for which hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been shown to be effective and beneficial according to numerous published medical studies.
Here is a list of some the short-term benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment that can be experienced after just a few sessions. This is based on clinical studies and proven scientific data.
Accelerates wound healing and tissue repair
Enhances sleep quality
Reduces inflammation and swelling in affected areas
Increases energy levels and mental clarity
Improves white blood cell function within hours of treatment
Speeds up recovery from physical exertion or injury
"THE FUTURE OF MEDICINE IS FREQUENCIES"

The Key Mechanism: Vagus Nerve Activation
The primary mechanism behind Deep Relaxation Therapy is vagus nerve stimulation.
The vagus nerve is the master regulator of the autonomic nervous system and controls:
Stress response
Heart rate
Digestion
Immune function
Inflammation
Emotional regulation
Sleep
Healing and repair
When the vagus nerve is under-stimulated, the body remains stuck in fight-or-flight.
The sound frequencies used in Deep Relaxation Therapy gently stimulate this nerve, signalling the body to shift into parasympathetic mode — also known as rest, repair, and healing.
This isn’t something you “try” to do.
The nervous system responds automatically.
Many clients describe this as the deepest sense of calm they’ve felt in years.

Gentle Emotional Release at the Cellular Level
One of the most profound — and often unexpected — effects of Deep Relaxation Therapy is its ability to gently release stored emotional and energetic blockages from the body.
Over time, stress, grief, fear, anger, resentment, and emotional overwhelm don’t simply disappear.
They are often held in the nervous system and tissues, sometimes for decades, especially when there was never space or safety to fully process them.
The vibrations and sound frequencies delivered through the waterbed work at a cellular level.
As they move through the body, they help soften and release areas of tension where emotional energy has been held — not by force, but gently, naturally, and safely.
Clients often describe this experience as:
Stress response
A wave of emotion rising and passing
A sense of “something lifting”
A deep exhale they didn’t know they were holding
Feeling lighter, clearer, calmer afterwards
Importantly, this release does not require talking, analysing, or reliving past events.
There is no need to recount trauma or explain emotions.
The body simply processes what it is ready to let go of.
Because sound works below conscious thought, emotions are allowed to move through the system organically — bubbling to the surface and dissolving through the vibrations — without overwhelm or re-traumatisation.
We tailor the frequencies used in each session to suit the individual, supporting whatever the nervous system needs most at that time — whether that’s calming, grounding, emotional release, or deep restoration.
In our clinic, we regularly see people release long-held grief, anger, fear — and sometimes even joy — for the first time in years.
They often leave feeling lighter, more present, more themselves… without having said a single word.
This is what makes Deep Relaxation Therapy so powerful:
It releases blocked energy and trapped emotions at the cellular level, while simultaneously calming and regulating the nervous system.
And this experience aligns closely with what the science tells us about trauma.
Trauma Lives in the Body — Not Just the Mind
Research from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs revealed something critical about trauma:
Trauma does not only live in memory.
It lives in the body and nervous system.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has found that trauma isn’t only stored in memory — it lives in the nervous system and body. That’s why traditional talk therapy doesn’t always work — especially for PTSD, chronic stress, and long-held emotional patterns.
Research into vagus nerve stimulation demonstrates the potential for this nerve to support recovery from trauma, including PTSD, by influencing neural plasticity and stress regulation.
Sound-based stimulation that affects nervous system regulation is supported by broader research into non-invasive vagus nerve interventions and autonomic balance.
Brain imaging studies show that sound therapy activates key areas involved in emotional regulation:
Amygdala (fear and threat response)
Hippocampus (memory processing)
Prefrontal cortex (emotional regulation and reasoning)
Sound therapy has also been shown to reduce cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone.
In studies with veterans, rhythmic sound and drumming allowed participants to physically release anger, grief, and fear — without needing to verbalise or relive the trauma.
After sessions, veterans reported:
Feeling calmer
Improved emotional regulation
Greater connection with others
If sound therapy can support combat trauma, imagine what it can do for the stress and emotional weight carried by everyday life.
Long-term Benefits of HBOT
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy becomes the most effective by stacking multiple sessions back-to-back to build up the oxygen concentration in your blood stream high enough to accelerate the healing process inside your body - ideally 30 to 60 sessions done daily or every other day depending on the condition.
While once or twice weekly sessions provide benefits, regular daily sessions create a compounding effect. Each session cycles oxygen under pressure into your blood plasma, then releases it throughout your body (including your brain, tissues, bones, and cells) as the pressure normalizes.
The more frequently you complete these pressure cycles, the greater the cumulative therapeutic benefits, as supported by clinical studies.
Enhances collagen production, strengthening tissues
Supports neuroplasticity, contributing to brain health and cognitive function
Provides anti-aging effects at the cellular level
Improves overall resilience of the immune system
Stimulates the production and mobilization of stem cells, aiding in tissue regeneration
Promotes the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) for improved circulation
The 40Hz Frequency: Retuning the Brain
One of the most researched therapeutic frequencies is 40 Hertz, part of the brain’s gamma wave activity.
Gamma waves are responsible for:
Attention and focus
Learning and memory
Cognitive clarity
Conscious awareness
Communication between different brain regions
Stress, trauma, neurological conditions, and ageing can disrupt this frequency — leading to:
Brain fog
Poor concentration
Mood changes
Chronic pain
Cognitive fatigue
Neurological research shows that vibroacoustic therapy at 40Hz can help restore this disrupted communication.
Think of it like rebooting a computer that’s been running too many programs for too long.
You’re not adding anything new — you’re restoring the system to how it’s designed to function.
This is why many people experience mental clarity, not just physical relaxation, after a session.
How it Works
THE SCIENCE BEHIND HBOT
HBOT creates a strong oxygen gradient, allowing more oxygen to move from the lungs into the bloodstream and tissues
Under increased pressure, oxygen dissolves directly into the blood plasma, not just red blood cells
This process enables oxygen to reach areas with limited blood flow or damaged tissues
Plasma oxygen concentration can increase by 10–14 times compared to normal levels depending on the pressure
The result? Faster healing, Mental Clarity, Improves Physical Performance, and an overall boost in physical and mental wellness.
What Conditions can Benefit from HBOT?
Chronic Fatigue - boosts cellular energy and reduces exhaustion
Cognitive Support - dementia, alzheimer’s, memory, and focus enhancement
Stroke Recovery & Brain Injuries - improves oxygen flow to damaged brain tissue
Cancer Support - supports immune system and cellular repair alongside treatment
Anti-Aging & Skin Health - promotes collagen production & skin rejuvenation
Autism Spectrum Support - may improve focus, behavior & social interaction
Sports Performance & Recovery - faster healing from injuries, reduced inflammation, improved endurance
Immune System Boost - strengthens the body’s defenses against illness
Alzheimers, Dementia & Post Stroke - Supports neuroplasticity, contributing to brain health and cognitive functioN
Lyme Disease & Autoimmune - Enhances the activity of natural killer cells, which target infected or abnormal cells.
IBD, Ulcerative colitis - Reducing inflammation and Boosts antimicrobial activity, helping the body fight bacteria and fungi.
Rheumatoid Arthritus - Reduces inflammation, increases stem cell production for regeneration
How HBOT Supercharges the Immune System
Increases the mobility and effectiveness of white blood cells
Boosts antimicrobial activity, helping the body fight bacteria and fungi
Stimulates the production of cells that combat infections
Neutralizes toxins produced by harmful bacteria
Enhances the activity of natural killer cells, which target infected or abnormal cells

THE CHRONIC ILLNESS PROGRESSION
Chronic illness follows this degeneration cycle
HBOT REVERSES THE CHRONIC ILLNESS CYCLE
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy actually reverses the chronic illness cycle initiating self-healing.
HBOT is one of the few therapies that does this because it can meaningfully increase tissue oxygenation and trigger downstream effects that matter in chronic illness patterns.
Treatment Protocol & What to Expect
Typical protocol: 20-40 sessions over 4-8 weeks
Each session lasts 60-120 minutes
Comfortable, spacious chambers with entertainment options
Sessions are relaxing and pain-free
Gradual pressure changes prevent discomfort
Treatment can be customized based on individual needs
HBOT for Cancer Support & Recovery
HBOT is often recommended by GP's and Oncologists due to the benefits of boosting the immune system, accelerated wound healing, inflammation reduction, increased stem cell production, antimicrobial benefits and enhancing natural killer cells.
We regularly get referrals from GP's, Oncologist and Naturopaths to support cancer patients with HBOT either during or after traditional cancer treatments (chemtherapy, radiation therapy).

"Highly recommend this"
"My 9 year old boy was really struggling at school from being bullied as a shy introvert and being neuro diverse struggling with learning. We had to pull him out to school and home school him, as he did not want to socialise with anyone. Natasha’s deep relaxation therapy helped him release his anxiety and bottled up emotions in such a gentle way. The brightness has returned to his eyes, he is happy again and expressing his personality that was suppressed for so long. His confidence has increased massively and he has asked to go back to school! Thank you so much for giving me my boy back."
