Brian d’Souza, award-winning international DJ, has launched a new sound wellness concept for hotels and spas – SwellSpa. Harnessing the power of transformative sound, SwellSpa delivers purposeful, end-to-end sound experiences that can be perfectly choreographed to each treatment.
Composed by award-winning musicians and sound therapists, the concept features ground-breaking generative music, creating unique compositions every time.
The SwellSpa treatment room sound therapy concept enables purpose-driven, end-to-end sound treatments that accommodates the customers taste, or choreographed for the treatment menu, ensuring a distinct, unique, and personalised sound experience every time.
The SwellSpa app puts customers and therapists in control of the experience - the duration of the treatment can be adjusted on the go and the experience becomes more active as a result - raising the value of sound in the treatment room to another level (with no copyright licenses required), and presenting a superior alternative to passive, traditional background music playlists.
Science-based
Scientifically tested in partnership with Kinda Studios and Goldsmiths University, SwellSpa has been shown to deliver a range of health benefits: deep relaxation, cognitive insight, emotional uplift, increased happiness and connection with nature.
Sound affects the brain and body in multiple ways. Swell’s unique generative technology uses sound therapy, biophilic sound and binaural frequencies to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, reduce heart rate and boost mood.
Designed with spa in mind
Delivered via the SwellSpa app users can access a range of therapeutic sound options designed to achieve specific outcomes: deep relaxation, emotional uplift, improved sleep or closer connection to nature. Sounds can be choreographed to match the duration and intensity of each treatment menu and deliver a novel listening experience on every listen, meaning no more listener fatigue.
The sound experience can also be offered via iPads in treatment rooms, personal listening stations in relaxation rooms and integration with existing set up, vibracoustic furniture and more. These are supported with workshops, training, on-boarding, and continual support through the process.
SwellSpa focusses on locations not genres - helping to transport the listener to beautiful locations around the world through the power of sound. These include locations in forests or by the sea from The Outer Hebrides to Ibiza, Nepal, Japan, Switzerland, Cape Verde and India.
Brian d’Souza comments: “For too long, the sound played in spa treatment rooms has been overlooked, characterised by generic, mindless playlists that sit purely as a background experience. SwellSpa changes that by placing the power of sound therapy in the hands of the spa, and potentially even spa customers. We've spent three years developing the next-generation technology that delivers 'Journeys not Genres': purposeful, end-to-end sound experiences that can be perfectly choreographed to each treatment. SwellSpa is designed to be super simple and cost-effective - scientifically-proven to deliver immediate results and we can't wait to share it with the spa industry.”
