What a great testimonial from Natasha Grays, Founder of Sensory Haven Studio and Interior Designer who recently visited our office in Brighton to take a turn on our Tactile Sound Bench. The experience seemed to be quite profound for Natasha who readily shared her thoughts on its application for interior design in the home and beyond. Read Natasha’s testimonial in full here:-
…”We design for the eyes. We design for the ears. But are we designing for the 70% of the body that is water?
I recently spent an incredible morning at The Foundry; a vibrant community-led hub in Brighton where I met with Dr. Emma Greenland. My mission was to experience the magic of her Tactile Sound technology firsthand (thank you Lisa Norton for the recco) and the result was profound.
As an interior designer focused on sensory luxury, I am constantly looking for ways to move beyond what we see to what we physically experience. Emma’s work in Vibroacoustic Therapy (VAT) represents a paradigm shift in how we approach the home environment..from the aesthetics to the somatic.
The Experience:
With an eye patch and a weighted blanket on, and beautiful soundscapes immersing through headphones, I lay on the oak bench and felt low-frequency vibrations coursing through my body. It wasn’t just shaking, it was a deep-tissue resonance that felt like a cellular massage. In minutes, I felt my body soften into a deep grounded, restorative Theta state.
The Vision:
The human body is an exceptional conductor of sound. By integrating this technology into holistic therapy centres, residential homes, even schools, hospitals and workplaces, we aren’t just adding a ‘feature’; we are installing a biological off-switch for stress.
From neuro-inclusive schools to high-end residential sanctuaries, it’s time we started designing for the Somatosensory system.
A huge thank you to Emma Greenland at Anderson Acoustics for the journey. The future of luxury isn’t just about the view…it’s about the vibration…”
