Corporate wellbeing through 9-dimensional sound
A nervous-system-led approach to stress regulation, focus, and emotional resilience for modern workplaces.
Our sessions are grounded in nervous system regulation and 9-dimensional sound
Modern work places unprecedented demands on attention, emotional regulation, and cognitive load. Many employees operate in a constant state of stress, leaving little capacity for recovery, creativity, or clear decision-making.
Our corporate sessions use 9-dimensional sound and guided breath to support nervous system regulation — helping individuals and teams reset, refocus, and recover from pressure in a way that is accessible, professional, and evidence-aligned.
This work does not require vulnerability, disclosure, or prior experience. It meets people where they are.

Supporting teams, reducing absenteeism, and preventing burnout
Workplace stress and mental ill health are among the leading causes of sickness absence, reduced productivity, and burnout across organisations of all sizes.
In the UK, stress, anxiety, and depression account for a significant proportion of lost working days each year, placing pressure on both individuals and organisations. Large employers such as the NHS consistently report that mental ill health is one of the primary drivers of sickness absence, highlighting the urgent need for preventative, practical wellbeing interventions.
Breathwork offers organisations a proactive, evidence-informed approach to supporting staff wellbeing. By teaching employees how to regulate their stress response in real time, breathwork helps reduce nervous system overload, improve emotional regulation, and support sustained performance — particularly in high-pressure roles.
Breathwork-based wellbeing support can contribute to:
- Reduced stress-related sickness absence
- Improved focus, emotional regulation, and resilience
- Greater capacity to cope with sustained workloads and change
- Support for burnout prevention and recovery
- A culture that prioritises psychological safety and wellbeing
Because breathwork is simple, accessible, and does not require special equipment, it integrates easily into existing wellbeing strategies, whether delivered through workshops, ongoing programmes, or regular team sessions.
At Sounds of Resonance, corporate sessions are designed to support modern workplaces by offering staff practical tools they can use immediately, both during the working day and beyond, supporting healthier teams, improved attendance, and long-term resilience.
What we mean by 9-dimensional sound
9-dimensional sound refers to a multi-layered, immersive audio experience delivered through high-quality headphones. It combines spatial sound, music, voice guidance, frequency-based audio, and intentional pacing to support the nervous system.
When paired with guided breath and somatic awareness, this approach helps the body shift out of stress responses and into a state of calm alertness — without cognitive effort.
Rather than stimulating or overwhelming, the experience is designed to contain, regulate, and support participants throughout.

Breathwork for performance, focus, and stress resilience under pressure
Breathwork is not only used in wellbeing settings, it is actively taught and applied in high-stress, high-stakes professions where emotional regulation and nervous system control are critical to performance and safety.
Tactical and controlled breathing techniques are used across military, law enforcement, emergency services, and frontline healthcare to help individuals manage acute stress responses, maintain focus, and regulate physiological arousal during demanding situations.
Research and field evidence show that:
- Controlled breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, helping lower heart rate, blood pressure, and stress hormone activity during high-pressure moments (Harvard Medical School).
- Tactical breathing techniques are taught to police officers and first responders to improve composure, emotional control, and decision-making under stress (Police1 / Law Enforcement Wellness).
- A controlled study on student police officers found that tactical breathing significantly improved marksmanship accuracy under stress, demonstrating measurable performance benefits during high-arousal situations (ResearchGate, peer-reviewed study).
- Breath regulation practices are increasingly incorporated into resilience training for emergency responders, including paramedics and frontline healthcare staff, to support emotional regulation and reduce cumulative stress exposure.
- The NHS recommends breathing exercises as a practical tool to help manage stress, anxiety, and panic, particularly in moments of overwhelm or high physiological arousal.
These practices are used not because they are abstract or theoretical, but because they are simple, effective, and immediately accessible, even in environments where stress is unavoidable.
By teaching breathwork skills that mirror those used in high-pressure professional contexts, Sounds of Resonance equips individuals and teams with practical tools to regulate stress responses in real time, supporting performance, resilience, and long-term wellbeing.
Evidence-informed & widely recognised
Breathwork is supported by healthcare guidance, workplace wellbeing research, and high-pressure professional training. Trusted public institutions recognise controlled breathing as a practical tool for managing stress, supporting emotional regulation, and improving resilience.

What to expect
What happens during a session?
Sessions are structured, guided experiences designed to support nervous system regulation.
Participants are usually seated or lying down comfortably. The session includes gentle guidance, breath-based practices, and immersive sound delivered through headphones. There is time at the beginning to settle and orient, followed by the main experience, and a short period of rest or integration at the end.
No personal sharing is required at any point.
Do participants need prior experience?
No experience is required.
Sessions are accessible to beginners and experienced participants alike. All guidance is provided, and individuals are encouraged to engage at a level that feels comfortable for them.
Participants remain in control throughout and may pause or adjust their breathing at any time.
Is this suitable for corporate environments?
Yes.
Sessions are designed specifically to be appropriate for professional settings. They do not involve group sharing, forced vulnerability, or therapeutic disclosure.
The approach is grounded, optional, and respectful of individual boundaries, making it suitable for diverse teams, leadership groups, and workplace wellbeing programmes.
How long are sessions?
Session length can be adapted to organisational needs.
Typical formats include:
- 45–60 minutes for team or workplace sessions
- 60–75 minutes for deeper group experiences
- Bespoke timings for leadership offsites or wellbeing days
Delivery is available online or in person.
