What is Vibroacoustic Therapy (VAT)?
Vibroacoustic Therapy (VAT) is a process by which a Certified Vibroacoustic Practitioner works with a client to find the best frequencies to provide a safe, medication-free, and relaxing way to soothe symptoms of various illnesses and ailments.
Olav Skille originally invented VAT devices in the 1980s. By his definition, VAT is a deep-tissue inner body massage using a single, intermittent, low-sound frequency. VAT can feel like gentle waves coming from within.
Research and anecdotal evidence suggest a wide variety of health benefits that individuals have reported following VAT sessions. VAT has been reported by clients to help with better sleep and relaxation to ease anxiety. It has also been reported to help ease symptoms of health challenges like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, juvenile and adult arthritis, autism, COPD, and more.
The Science
According to physicists and spiritualists alike, our bodies are made of tiny vibrating particles of matter. Within this theory, each part of the body is a bonded group of particles that are all vibrating at the same frequency. This means all parts of the body resonate at their own unique frequencies for each of us.
Because of this, individual body parts respond to particular wavelengths of sound vibrations. The various systems in the physical body also respond to sound, as do the emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies.
When the frequency of any cell resonates differently than usual, it affects the whole organ it is bonded with and eventually has an effect on the entire body, which creates a state of dis-ease.
VAT influences the body by altering its frequency resonance using vibrations at particular frequencies. It works even more deeply than acupuncture or massage because sound waves can reach deep into the body to make changes at the cellular level.
It’s not only VAT, other sound, light, music therapy, and various other energy medicine techniques, like reiki, can create changes in the frequency patterns of the body. Whatever method works for your body, mind, and spirit, it is best to find some way of helping your body find alignment with all the invisible vibrations we are surrounded by daily.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What do I need to bring?
You only need to bring yourself in comfortable clothing! We have the vibroacoustic device and the frequency programs needed to facilitate a vibroacoustic therapy (VAT) session for you, so you can simply relax. Setting an intention for your session is always advised. Be mentally ready to focus on healing your body, mind, and spirit.
Do you clean the Mind Body Zen Sound Lounge after a VAT session?
Cleanliness is our top priority. We sanitize the Mind Body Zen Sound Lounge after each use. In addition, we welcome anyone to bring a personal sheet or light blanket to cover the lounge, if they prefer.
Can I do VAT with other people?
VAT is designed for individual use for best results. However, we do have the ability to connect a second Mind Body Zen Sound Lounge for Do-It-Yourself shared experiences. Each VAT session includes a complimentary twenty minutes in our automated massage chair, as well.
I have a health condition, can I use VAT?
VAT has shown to help soothe symptoms in people with a wide array of ailments and diseases. However, every person’s body is unique, and what works for one may not work for another. If you are aware of any health conditions that cause a concern for you when considering VAT, please discuss the safety of VAT for you individually with your primary care doctor or specialist.
What if I fall asleep?
People can experience a sleep-like state during a VAT session since slower, sleep-like brainwaves can be triggered by VAT and deep relaxation. If you do fall asleep, we will simply wake you gently at the end of your VAT session. You do not have to be awake and conscious for your body to receive the benefits of VAT.
What if I don’t like VAT?
There are no refunds for sessions after they occur. If VAT isn’t for you, please try our flotation therapy or other future offerings.
