Tools for Real Life

The way we feel is shaped by the obvious things — relationships, career, health. But just as powerfully, it’s influenced by seemingly invisible cues all around us. A scent, a piece of music, the design of a room — these subtle elements quietly signal to our bodies and minds, often before we’re even aware of it. Halsonus designs with this in mind, creating objects that support balance, presence, comfort, and well-being in the natural flow of everyday life.

The Brain Wave Collection

Throughout the day, your brain naturally cycles through different wave states — from focused and alert, to relaxed, creative, or deeply restful. You can think of them like gears in a car, each one with its own distinct purpose. The Brain Wave Collection translates these states into functional aromatherapy blends and soundscapes, designed to help you focus, create, relax, dream, and rest. Crafted with pure essential oils and guided by neuroscience, each product is both beautiful and profoundly functional — tools to return to again and again, supporting you in daily life.

What People Are Saying

Halsonus is More Than Candles

We don’t think of ourselves as a candle company. Our work is about building a world where scent, sound, and design come together to support how you feel. In addition to the Brain Wave Collection, we offer Tuning In — immersive events where fragrance, music, and guided reflection meet.

Created by a Therapist from Experience

Halsonus was founded by psychotherapist and artist Maranda Barskey, who has spent her career exploring how the body, the mind, and our innate creativity overlap to shape how we feel about ourselves and our lives. Halsonus is her way of sharing that understanding more widely — through sensory tools that invite people to tune into themselves, trust what they feel, and create space for subtle acts of care in everyday life.
