Snoezelen Training

You do not need training to apply snoezelen therapy, any more than you need to be a therapist to use a therapy pool

Sensory rooms are shallow, you don’t need to be able to swim, training is very light because we want everyone to use it. Indeed used well it is your clients that make the waves while you float about in the swell.

We want everyone to get involved, and it’s quite hopeless to stay to the side, unmoved by an MSE.

Get in.

The MSE is designed to absorb you, we call this getting wet.

Getting wet does mean shedding layers. To be wet in an MSE means to cede control, to become part of the tribe to become a sensory being. You should allow yourself to emerge from your shell. Let your senses lead you out.

Get in, Come out.

What was that shell? It was language, the way you construct your world with its debts and dates and duties, out here in this pool you are accommodated, your sensory tendrils are beautiful you old barnacle this is no therapy pool it’s a rock pool and everything in here is designed to influence you, let it. When the room changes colour it is your reaction that is craved, become the center of the tribe.

Get in, Come out, Join up.

An MSE is transformative, it changes the building it is in: "we have an MSE" is a message about your building’s intentions. A Sensory Room is a big financial investment with a fuzzy influence changing the people on their way to and from it.

Our Sensory Equipment is really just like the paraphanalia of props that help people float, but in an MSE floating is communicating, with you. Simply being in the water is enough.

Plus you don’t have to dry your hair afterwards
