Sometimes you don't realise quite how much you need to switch off until you actually get the chance to do it.

We recently headed to REGULATE The Nervous System Studio to try their Floating Sound Bath — and it was a completely different kind of experience to anything we'd tried before.

REGULATE is a specialist studio based at Battlers Green Farm, offering a range of sound, breathwork and nervous-system experiences for adults, as well as sessions specifically designed for babies, children and teenagers.

The experience

The Floating Sound Bath takes place in a hammock suspended above the ground, where you can completely cocoon yourself away from the outside world.

We got comfortable in our hammocks before being guided through the session by Tia, the founder of REGULATE. The experience combines sound and vibration, with plenty of time simply to lie back and let yourself relax. And honestly, that was probably the best part.

There was nothing to achieve, nowhere to be and no need to concentrate on anything. For a mum who is normally thinking about the next thing on the to-do list, having permission to simply lie there and switch off felt like a real treat. We all came away feeling like we'd properly paused for a while — and we definitely all slept very well that night!

Something for mums and babies too

One of the things we particularly love about REGULATE is that you don't have to wait until you've got childcare to experience it.

They also run Bring Your Baby sound sessions, designed to give mums and their little ones the opportunity to experience sound and relaxation together.

So whether you're looking for some much-needed time for yourself or something you can enjoy with your baby, there are options to suit different stages of motherhood.

Mum’s Guide Find

We loved that the session begins with setting an intention — taking a moment to decide what you'd like to get from the experience before settling into your hammock.

It's such a simple touch, but it immediately helps you step away from everyday mum-mode and into a more mindful headspace.
