I wanted to take a moment to talk about a new therapy we have at Mariposa Massage & Healing Center LLC called Vibroacoustic Therapy!


“Close your eyes and picture your favorite music meditation resonating through your body, melting away stress and leaving you in a state of pure relaxation. Now, imagine if you could harness that same power to heal both your body and mind. That’s the power of Vibroacoustic Therapy.


Vibroacoustic Therapy (VAT) is a noninvasive form of therapy that uses sound and vibrations to promote relaxation, alleviate pain, and enhance overall well-being. The therapy involves using specialized equipment that delivers low-frequency vibrations to the body, which can penetrate deep into the tissues and organs.” ~inHarmony


I started my journey in holistic healthcare almost 9 years ago, and I always knew that I wanted to offer more than just massage at Mariposa. Massage is a very powerful therapy and many people don’t fully understand its potential to make a significant difference in their overall health and wellbeing to include mental health. At Mariposa, I am always looking to help educate and to add additional holistic therapies and products that bring value and options for healing for everyone. In 2023, at the American Massage Therapy Association’s annual convention, I was introduced to Vibroacoustic Therapy. After experiencing it and diving a little deeper into it, I knew it was something we wanted to incorporate into our services at Mariposa. In order to educate myself further before investing in this powerful therapy, I traveled to Las Vegas to meet one of the co-founders, Craig Goldberg. While there, I attended a training and certification class on vibroacoustic and psychoacoustic therapy using the inHarmony products with Kate Sagan.


In May 2024, we implemented the Sound Lounge II at our 301 Saddle Dr, Suite F location. We also include other relaxation tools, such as a meditation cushion, which we set inside a teepee so you can sit in a safe space while you enjoy the wonderful benefits of meditation and Vibroacoustic Therapy. Fully immerse in your meditation or bring a book to read and come enjoy some time to support your mental health. Appointments can be scheduled in 30 minute increments, up to 120 minutes or 2 hours. The sessions are priced at $1 per minute. We also offer a military discount of 10%. I am super excited for you to come try this new therapy and experience its benefits.



Per inHarmony’s and industry research, who can benefit from Vibroacoustic Therapy?


Vibroacoustic Therapy is effective in managing a variety of physical and mental health conditions. Here are some groups of people who can benefit from this therapy:


  1. Children and Adults: Vibroacoustic Therapy is beneficial for both children and adults, even in those with autism and ADHD. Research has shown improvement in behavior and attention in children and adults after receiving Vibroacoustic Therapy.

  2. People with Chronic Pain: Chronic pain can be debilitating and negatively impact an individual's quality of life. Vibroacoustic Therapy has been shown to reduce pain and improve mobility in people with chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, arthritis, and back pain.

  3. Athletes and Active Individuals: Vibroacoustic Therapy has been shown to improve the range of motion and reduce muscle soreness after strenuous exercise to reduce an athlete's downtime when impacted with injury or muscle soreness.

  4. People with Stress and Anxiety: Vibroacoustic Therapy can help individuals manage stress and anxiety by promoting relaxation and reducing muscle tension.

  5. People with Sleep Disorders: Vibroacoustic Therapy has been demonstrated to be a valuable resource for people experiencing sleep disorders like insomnia, sleep apnea, and restless leg syndrome.

  6. People with Specific Conditions: Vibroacoustic Therapy is beneficial for individuals with specific health conditions such as Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis. VAT has been shown to reduce pain, improve mood, and promote relaxation in individuals with these conditions.


In summary, vibroacoustic therapy is possibly the most valuable thing you can add to your health care regimen. At $1.00 per minute, it is an inexpensive way to support your mental health, as well as help with any physical pain you may be struggling with. Everyone receives a complimentary 20 minute session on their first visit to experience what it is. Recommended minimum session for noticeable results is 30 minutes!
