MAGNOLIA, Texas – The Theta Pod (also referred to as a Theta Chamber or Theta Wave Therapy) is gaining attention as a unique wellness treatment that combines four therapies into a single 30-minute session designed to help people relax, reduce stress, and address mental health challenges.
April Deosis, owner of Align Theta Center in Magnolia, explains that the pod targets the vagal nerve through ear clips, and vestibular motion where the pod spins.
“When you get in the Theta Pod, there’s four different therapies in one 30-minute session,” Deosis said. “There’s light therapy, sound therapy, a gentle electric stimulation on ear clips that stimulates the vagal nerve in the brain, and then the vestibular motion — the whole pod spins while you’re in it, but you don’t feel the spinning from the inside. You only feel the first rotation and then it feels like you’re floating.”
The sessions can be customized with 31 different settings to target issues such as insomnia, anxiety, addiction, PTSD, autism, and ADHD.
Deosis said insomnia is the fastest-acting protocol.
“Many people are sleeping after their very first session,” Deosis said. “Our most intense protocol is every day for 28 days — I call that our suicide prevention protocol. In just 28 days, we see drastic results with anxiety, depression, PTSD.”
Clients have reported significant improvements.
Jana Witt, a Theta Pod user, shared her experience with hormone balance.
“I’m perimenopausal, and my hot flashes and night sweats are gone. My brain fog and fatigue are gone... I feel 20 years younger. I turned 52 last Saturday, and I feel like I’m 30. It’s been a game changer,” Witt said.
She also described overcoming sugar cravings after starting Theta Pod sessions.
“My cravings were so bad, I had to have something sweet after dinner. I would even leave the house to find sugar... I started using the Theta Pod June 1st, 2024, and I haven’t craved sugar since,” she said.
The Theta Pod is available in 32 centers across the country, with plans to expand.
“I would love to connect with chiropractors and holistic practitioners to add a Theta Pod to their practice. We need one in every suburb, so people don’t have to drive far for a 30-minute session,” Deosis said.
Sessions start at $80 for first-time users, after that sessions are $100, and there are discounted packages available for regular clients.
Many find the Theta Pod a new path to relaxation and improved mental health in just half an hour.
