In the spa world, first impressions set the tone for the entire experience and music plays a key role in this. One of the questions we get asked most is: “How do I choose the right music for my space?”
When choosing the right music for your space, it's important to first consider what it is that you want to achieve, and then let the tempo, like a heartbeat, guide the pace.
Soothing melodies at 60-80 beats per minute can lull clients into deep relaxation, while upbeat tempos around 120-130 can energise and uplift pre-treatment waiting areas.
Instrumentation plays its part too. Gentle piano and ambient nature soundscapes create a calming sanctuary, while the warmth of strings or the flow of flutes evoke feelings of peace and connection.
Nature-inspired soundscapes transport clients to tranquil forests, while world music infuses treatments with a touch of cultural exploration.
“But the true magic lies in personalisation,” comments Freddie Moross, founder of Myndstream.
“Consider your client's treatment goal and choose one of our expertly curated playlists designed to help deliver that specific outcome or goal. Or, match the music to the treatment – choose dreamy piano music for deep tissue massages, or invigorating Lo-fi beats for a sports massage. Alternatively, you can tailor the music to different areas of your spa with our all-day playlists.
“From the serene waiting room to the deeply relaxing treatment room, all you have to do is press play at the beginning of the day and let us look after the ambience for you.”
