Important information

Luma³ is not classed as a medical device and the breathing exercises it helps to guide are not a replacement for any part of your treatment. Always follow all treatment advice provded to you by your healtch care professionals.

Breathwork that works

Living with communication and swallowing difficulties can place significant demands on both your body and mind. We understand that certain parts of speech and language therapy such as practicing new communication strategies, voice exercises, swallowing assessments and instrumental assessments (for example, videofluoroscopy or FEES), can be anxiety-provoking. They can bring moments of frustration and may feel tiring or uncomfortable. Even attending appointments and talking about the impact on daily life can sometimes feel overwhelming. Our team is here to guide and support you throughout, ensuring you feel informed, prepared, and safe at every step. We also want to provide tools that help you manage these moments with greater confidence.

Luma³ is available within our service as a supportive resource to help you feel grounded and more at ease. Through slow, guided breathing, it encourages your body to relax and reduces the tension that can affect speech, voice, and swallowing. You might choose to use it before a session or assessment to settle nerves, during therapy to stay regulated and focused, or afterwards to unwind. It offers a simple way to regain a sense of calm and control when things feel challenging.

Your Guide to Luma³

Luma³ is a simple device that uses patterns of light to guide you through a calming breathing exercise. It’s designed to be easy to use, distraction-free, and requires no complex interaction. You can simply watch the light and breathe along with its gentle rhythm to feel the benefits. 

We understand that hospital treatments can be a source of anxiety, stress, or pain. Luma³ is here to provide support in those moments by supporting with guided breathing exercises. Following the guided breathing exercises can help to: Ease feelings of anxiety while you wait, manage discomfort or distress during a procedure and provide immediate support if you feel overwhelmed or experience a panic attack.

Yes. Breathwork is a natural and safe way to support your well-being. It is suitable for adults and children of all ages. Because the device uses only gentle light and your own breath, it is a drug-free and non-invasive tool that works alongside your clinical care to help you feel more comfortable and centered. It is important to know that Luma³ is not effecting you directly, it is the controlled breathing that calms your nervous system and Luma³ is simply a guide.

It’s important to note that Luma³ is not a medical device. Luma³ is a general wellness product designed to support you via guided breathwork. While we use it here to help manage stress and anxiety during your treatment, it is not intended to diagnose, cure, or prevent any specific medical condition. It works as a supportive tool to help you feel more comfortable alongside the expert medical care provided by your clinical team.
