Clients will not only feel measurably more relaxed, but also gain insight into the intricate process that occurs with our breathing process. Utilising diaphragm, chest and clavicular cavities, clients will experience how it is breathe fully, and how good it can make them feel.

Individually crafted and tested essential oil blends made specifically for locations in Relax VR!
Read about the science behind essential oils here.
Each location in Relax VR has an essential oil blend that has been crafted specifically for that location. With 15 locations, there are 15 blends!
A number of our blends include oils from trees and plants that grow in the specific regions of the location they are paired with. For example, our Northern Lights blend includes spruce, to represent the spruce trees of Denali National Park, US.
Our blends are made of 100% essential oils and contain no synthetic fragrances or chemicals. They are therapeutic quality for aromtherapy use.
We diffuse the essential oils using a patent-pending device attached to either side of the VR headset. The oils are diffused as people turn their heads to look at the scene, creating a balanced and even scent.
Tune in and let go to the soft resonant tunes of binaural beat music. Gentle notes of calming ambient music interlaced with steady binaural beats will accompany your visual experience. Read about the science behind binaural beats here.
Whether you're lying at the beach, taking in the sounds of the forest, or flying above the clouds, our music will elevate your experience to the sublime. Select from 9 high quality tracks.
Read our detailed guide that describes how to combine existing spa offerings with Relax VR locations, highlighting how you can incorporate all the five senses, to create novel spa experiences. Incorporating all five senses will:
• Magnify the experience, make it more sensorially expansive and immersive
• Create distinctive experiences that clients can’t get anywhere else. Spas are uniquely equipped to combine
virtual reality with taste and touch - something that can’t be easily replicated at home, nor at any other
commercial venue.
• Increase retail sales. Using essential oils, body creams, tangible objects and food as part of the multi-sensory
experience allows you to upsell these products after the session. The products help the client recall the
experience after they’ve gone home and encourage them to rebook.
Transform your spa into an oasis of tranquility and take your clients on an exotic escape without ever leaving the room. Our specially designed Immersive Spa Journey fuses your existing treatments with immersive virtual journeys, crafting a multi-sensory spa experience like no other.

“Relax VR has been an excellent way for my new and returning clients to de-stress. They come in fatigued and burnt-out and leave feeling refreshed and restored! At H.E.R Spa, I pair the Relax VR with massage chair and watch the magic happen. Nothing is more satisfying than seeing that huge smile on their faces when they leave thanks to Relax VR!” -- Britney Hill

1. Why shouldn't I use a Meta Quest 3 for my spa?
The Meta Quest 3 does not provide a sense of smell (olfactory stimuli), making it a less immersive experience.
Additionally, the Meta Quest 3 is a consumer VR device built specifically for gaming. In a spa environment, it poses several problems:
• Heavier: The Meta Quest 3 is a front-heavy headset weighing 1.14 lbs (459g) (without head strap). Our headset by comparison weighs almost half at 0.67 lbs (304g) (without head strap), and so is much more evenly balanced than the Meta Quest 3, making it significantly more comfortable to wear.
• Less Hygienic: Meta Quest 3 comes with soft cushioning that easily absorbs sweat, skin debris and dirt and is difficult to wipe down properly. Relax VR's headset uses PU face inserts that are easy to clean and hygienic for mass use.
• Cumbersome: The Meta Quest requires synchronisation with a phone. This additional setup time can confuse staff and makes it difficult to use the device independently.
• Lower Immersion/Wired Audio: The Meta Quest 3 does not support Bluetooth headphones. This means you either have to use the low-immersion in-built speakers, or use wired headphones. Relax VR's package comes with wireless noise cancelling headphones for the easiest, highest quality audio immersion.
• Unrestricted Open Store: The Meta Quest 3 can't be locked into a single application and its home screen is the Oculus app store. This means customers can exit the app/experience and get lost in the app store or even download other apps/content.
2. Does it need WiFi?
No. WiFi connection is only necessary when downloading and installing software updates.
3. Does it use wires? Do you need to connect it to a PC?
No wires or PC are required during operation. The Relax VR headset works independently, and our wireless headphones can be connected via Bluetooth. The only time wires are required are for charging the headset and headphones after use.
4. Why shouldn't I use an Apple Vision Pro for my spa?
The Apple Vision Pro does not provide a sense of smell (olfactory stimuli), making it a less immersive experience.
Additionally, the Apple Vision Pro is a VR device built specifically for collaborative work and entertainment. In a spa environment, it poses several problems:
• Heavier: The Apple Vision Pro is a very front-heavy headset weighing 1.32 lbs (600g) (without head strap). Our headset by comparison weighs less than half at 0.67 lbs (304g) (without head strap) and so is much more evenly balanced than the Apple Vision Pro, making it significantly more comfortable to wear.
• Customised Fitting: The Apple Vision Pro requires scanning each user's face with an iPhone app to determine which of the 30-40 light seals of the Apple Vision Pro would best fit the user's face. Each light seal costs $199, meaning a cost of $6,000 - $8,000 in addition to the main Apple Vision Pro unit. Users also cannot wear glasses in an Apple Vision Pro, and would need to get custom ZEISS insert lenses for $99 - $149.
• Attached Battery: The Apple Vision Pro comes attached to an external 0.8 lbs (353g) battery. The wire that attaches to this battery can get tangled while the client or staff are using the unit, and being attached to a battery can reduce the immersion of the experience.
• Less Hygienic: The Apple Vision Pro comes with soft cushioning that easily absorbs sweat, skin debris and dirt and is difficult to wipe down properly. Relax VR's headset uses PU face inserts that are easy to clean and hygienic for mass use.
• Unrestricted Open Store: The Apple Vision Pro can't be locked into a single application and its home screen is the Apple app store. This means clients or staff can exit the experience and get lost in the app store or download other apps/content.
