Where Neuroscience & Nature Support Your Intention
Functional, therapeutic aromatherapy designed by a psychotherapist to help you shift your state of mind.

BRAIN WAVE
Halsonus presents: Brain Wave—an innovative line of aromatherapy products designed to enhance mental and emotional well-being through the targeted use of fragrance and curated sound. Each Brain Wave blend is carefully aligned with one of the five brain wave states, supporting you in reaching your mental and emotional goals.

THE SCIENCE
Scientific research has demonstrated that scents can affect brain wave patterns, which are electrical impulses that reflect different states of consciousness and cognitive activity. This first-of-its-kind line of candles and aromatic products is meticulously crafted to align with the five major brain wave states

HOW IT WORKS:
Throughout the day, your brain naturally cycles through different wave states — from focused and alert, to relaxed, creative, or deeply restful.
Brain Wave by Halsonus is designed to help you achieve and sustain your desired mental state. Each fragrance is scientifically crafted to align with one of the five major brain wave frequencies: Gamma, Beta, Alpha, Theta, or Delta.
Whether you're seeking clarity for work, creative flow, or deep rest, these blends help you shift your state with intention.
When paired with our curated soundscapes, each scent becomes part of a powerful sensory ritual — one that supports your nervous system and elevates your mood and mind.

About Halsonus
After a series of profound personal losses, artist and psychotherapist Maranda Barskey turned inward. Though long equipped with tools like psychotherapy, yoga, meditation, and philosophy, she found herself drawn to a different kind of support — the invisible scaffolding that natural aromatherapy can offer. What began as a personal ritual became both a form of healing and a new mode of artistic expression.
Halsonus is an evolution of her work — a place where breath, sound, and fragrance become tangible supports for the nervous system. Every product has been developed and tested through her own system, and is now offered lovingly to you.
