The Modern Sound Bath at Very Well… Where Science Meets Magic!

Imagine being able to effortlessly change your state of mind!

Dial up a mood or intention, push a button, and… relaxation, restoration, healing, creativity, focus, connection… can infuse your body.

No struggle. No overthinking it. No resistance.

That’s the idea behind the Modern Sound Bath, our newly relaunched, advanced-technology therapy that uses sound and vibration to reset your nervous system, improve your mood, and prime your body for healing.

This isn’t a traditional sound bath. No gongs. No bowls. No crystals.

This is vibration and frequency as medicine, the language of change for your mind, body, and spirit.

At the heart of the experience is the SoundBed, a sleek therapeutic platform that delivers immersive spatial audio to your ears and low-frequency vibration to six zones of the body—from head to toe. These frequencies are selected for their physiological effects on brainwave activity, vagal tone, and overall nervous system regulation.

You lie down fully clothed. You choose your intention: calm, energy, focus, clarity, creativity, relaxation. And then you just… relax and let go.

Seven channels of sound surround your head while vibration moves through the body, inviting the system into a new rhythm. You don’t have to concentrate or understand it.

The body gets it—immediately.

Sound fills your mind. Vibration washes over your body. Evidence-based frequencies that lead to real change.

This is where science meets magic, not as opposites, but as collaborators.

At Very Well, we offered this “vibroacoustic therapy” in a brief format for over a year, and the results spoke for themselves. Clients left changed, recalibrated, often surprised by how much had shifted in just 15 minutes.

Now, we’re expanding the offering into a full suite of options.

The Modern Sound Bath is available in FIVE distinct formats, from brief but potent resets, to immersive transformational sessions, to a mini-retreat that provides a comfortable workspace to harness the benefits of your new state of mind right away.

TRY IT OCCASIONALLY — for fun, for a mini-vacation, to get through a stressful day or situation, to supercharge the results of any of Very Well’s other treatments, to prepare for (or recover from) challenging moments.

COME MULTIPLE TIMES — to retrain your body and mind to healthier patterns, to change limiting habits and program in useful new ways of being, to usher yourself through major life or worldly changes, to fully inhabit your body and claim your power, to live more fully, to accomplish major projects, or to regularly return to a useful, more comfortable state of being.

Session options include: Solfeggio tones, binaural beats, brainwave entrainment frequencies, chakra (energy center) stimulation, guided meditation, breathwork, nature sounds, immersive musical experiences, and more! Click here to browse our entire catalog of programs.

What’s a Modern Sound Bath session like?

The appointment begins with your selection of the state of mind you’d like to generate from our comprehensive list of options. (It will be more streamline if you pick out your program ahead of time from this list.) You will then lie back on our unique SoundBed, wearing comfortable headphones. And then the magic (and science) happens!

As specially formulated harmonics (melodies, tones, or natural sounds) fill your ears, comfortable vibrations wash over your body. Depending on the program, these will be targeted to specific zones that generate the generate the results you desire.

Since the bed vibrates to accompany the frequency you’re hearing, it is easy to lose yourself in the sound, perhaps like you are the embodiment of the healing resonance. The sensation is indescribable.

These vibroacoustic sessions are great as additions to your other wellness appointments or as standalone mini-vacations from your day. Imagine ducking out at lunch hour and returning to work refreshed, energized, and ready to tackle the next challenge. Or popping in on your way home to shed the stress of the office, returning home to your family in what feels like a whole new body.

After your session, you may relax quietly in our lounge to “take it all in,” or you may choose to pour yourself a cup of complementary tea, pull out your notebook, and begin journaling your impressions... or brainstorming ideas for a project.

What’s a Deep Dive session like?

Deep Dives take the power of the Modern Sound Bath and give you an opportunity to channel it right away into brainstorming, creative, or reflective sessions that take advantage of your new, powerful state of mind.

Very Well offers a comfortable, private workspace featuring an armchair, a desk, a whiteboard, and creative prompts to trigger new ways of thinking.

Directly from your Modern Sound Bath session, you can plunge right into work that will make an immediate difference in your life.

Do a Deep Dive when you need to brainstorm, problem solve, produce creative work, get past blocks, want to sit with the deep feelings that arise in your session, or however works best for you! Bring your journal, your laptop, your sketch pad, any non-messy creative supplies… and be ready to get to work. 

How does it work?

It has been demonstrated in many studies that both sound and vibration can have profound effects on your health and wellness. The vibroacoustic experience at Very Well borrows from and combines several traditions and branches of scientific knowledge. Some of these are:

Solfeggio frequencies – These are a series of sound patterns believed to possess properties that promote specific health results, depending upon the frequency. These have been used in various cultures since ancient times and may be connected to the vibrational theories outlined in quantum physics.

Binaural beats – When you hear two tones, one in each ear, that are slightly different in frequency, your brain processes a beat at the difference of the frequencies. This may be an auditory illusion, but as binaural beats have been studied for decades for their health benefits, the effect may be quite tangible.

Chakra vibration – In some traditions, chakras are considered powerful energy centers in the body. These correspond to major bundles of nerves and organs. Vibrating these locations at specific frequencies may generate profound results.

From the manufacturer: These vibroacoustic sessions “integrate many different healing frequencies, from binaural beats and isochronic tones for inducing desired brainwave states, to target waves such as Solfeggio tone harmonics that assist in balancing the energies of your body and mind. Music-based sessions are tuned to 432 Hz in alignment with the natural harmonics of the Earth’s electromagnetic field.” [Note: this frequency resonates with the 7.8 Hz Schumann Resonance, the electromagnetic “heartbeat” of the Earth, which is a program option on the Very Well PEMF therapy bed.] “The bed itself primarily vibrates at deeper bass frequencies (~150 Hz and below), while the full range of audible sound comes through the headphones. This interplay between hearing and feeling opens up a whole new dimension of immersive sound healing, where you are literally inside of the waves.”

Medical and accessibility notes

From the manufacturer: “Vibroacoustic therapy influences the body by passing pure low frequency sine wave vibrations between 30 and 120 Hz into the body. The Food and Drug Administration has approved vibroacoustic therapy for increasing circulation, pain relief, and increasing mobility. Vibroacoustic therapy is being evaluated to treat a number of conditions, including fibromyalgia, cerebral palsy, and Alzheimer’s disease. Vibroacoustic therapy may not be recommended for some conditions. Please consult with your medical professional.”

Also, please note that the sound bed meant to be compact for easy storage, and it is therefore low to the ground (12 inches high) and narrow (24 inches wide). Please feel comfortable in contacting us if you have concerns about your accessibility to the device, and we will do our best to work with you and address your concerns.

What if you are hearing impaired?

From the manufacturer: This bed “will provide substantial healing benefits even to someone who is hearing impaired. There are two main elements to immersive SoundHealing provided by the bed: 1) spatial sound, and 2) spatial vibration. The spatial sound (what [passes] through your headphones) will of course be affected. Yet the spatial vibration (what you FEEL throughout your body through low-frequency vibration) will be just as powerful – helping your mind and body drop out of the stress response, enter a deep meditative state, and return to natural harmony. From our research, we [discovered that] we have the capacity to “hear” vibration through every cell of our bodies, not just our ears. So since [the bed] plays journeys to the entire body, [hearing-impaired people] will retain much of their healing benefits… The vibration [alone] has already been proven through vibroacoustic therapy to be highly effective in helping improve both physical and emotional well-being.”
