Wellness, measured.
We design and run wellness experiences for events, retreats, resorts and brands, with live brain and body data in the room. Then we help wellness brands build on what that data shows.
Two services, one backbone.
The wellness and longevity market is full of promises. What it lacks is proof. Both services rest on the same thing: a neuroscience lab that measures what an experience does.
Wellness Activation
A signature wellness moment for a conference, side event, retreat, resort or brand launch. Breath, movement, sound and light, with live EEG and heart-rate data on screen, so guests watch their own nervous system respond.
- Experience design and programme curation
- Live biodata in the room
- Our crew, our equipment, our practitioners
- A short measured report afterwards
Wellness Brand Building
For resorts, retreat centres, clinics, product makers and longevity start-ups that want to be trusted, not just noticed. A position you can defend, one signature ritual, and evidence behind it.
- Positioning, narrative and claims language
- A scripted signature ritual and staff training
- Pilot studies designed and analysed by our lab
- Launch, content and partner introductions
Guests are sceptical.
Longevity audiences have heard every claim. What earns attention is something they can see and feel in their own body, in the room.
Brands are exposed.
Health-adjacent claims draw scrutiny from regulators, press and clinicians. Language backed by measurement is an asset. Language that overreaches is a liability.
Events blur together.
A panel, a coffee break, a goodie bag. People remember the gatherings where they took part, not the ones where they only listened.
Three formats. None of them measure.
The wellness market has converged on three formats. Each works. What none of them produce is evidence: a number before and after, linked to what happened in the room.
Social recovery
- Shared saunas, cold plunges, red-light lounges
- Small entry price, social format
- The experience is the product
- Guests feel something — nobody captures what
Stacked circuits
- Six or seven stations in forty-five minutes
- Red-light sessions, compression, oxygen, float
- Efficient and systematised
- Still nothing measures what changed
Brain-sensing retreats
- EEG and brain training as the offer
- The demand is real
- What is mostly missing: a full map, a qualified report, and someone to explain it
The MuLabs layer.
We add the measurement that connects any of these formats to evidence: a signal read before and after, linked to what the session did, reported in language that holds up.
Measure, map, train, re-measure.
That sequence is the differentiator. It works inside a forty-minute activation and inside a seven-day residential programme.
Language that holds.
We use “linked to”, “research suggests” and the measurement numbers. Safer for the brand, and more credible with the guests who have heard every other claim.
What a guest actually goes through.
Every activation follows the same five beats, whether it lasts forty minutes or three days.

- BaselineA two-minute check-in: a short EEG or heart-rate snapshot and three quick questions on how they feel.EEG · heart-rate variability · self-report

Activations are wellbeing and self-regulation experiences. The measurements describe what changed during the session; they are not a diagnosis or a medical assessment. Guest data is anonymised, used only with consent, and never sold.
Formats we bring into the room.
Owned, tested and run by our own team. Combined to fit a breakfast, a retreat day or a multi-day flagship.
Breath Lab
Guided breathwork with live heart-rate and breath feedback, for groups of 6 to 60.
Brain Mirror
A public-facing EEG display that shows a visitor’s live brain activity on screen.
Voxel Cube
A volumetric LED cube that responds to biofeedback. Brain Mirror and Magic Mirror can run inside it.
Magic Mirror
An interactive mirror that turns body movement and signals into live visuals.
Generative visuals
Real-time visuals built in TouchDesigner and driven by live physiological data.
Neurofeedback demos
Real-time EEG feedback set-ups for live demonstrations and one-to-one sessions.
Brain & body check-ins
From four-channel headbands to 19-channel caps, with a personal summary for each guest.
Rhythmic light
The roXiva light-and-sound machine, always run with photosensitivity screening.
Also available: projection mapping and immersive rooms for venues, facades and gardens.
Rooms we have already run.
From one person in a chair to five hundred on the floor. Retreats, stages, launches and studios in Lisbon and beyond.
A brand with substance behind the story.
Concrete outputs, not a mood board. Each one is usable by your team the week it is delivered.
Claims you can stand behind
A narrative and vocabulary built on what is measured, not what is cured. Credible to guests and clinicians, and safe with regulators.
The one thing guests remember
Designed, scripted and taught to your staff, so it runs the same way every time without us in the room.
A pilot with real guests
EEG, heart-rate and questionnaires, designed and analysed by our lab, and reported plainly, including what didn’t work.
A brand that lives in rooms
Introductions to clinicians, practitioners, venues and events in our network, beyond the website.

What an engagement looks like.
Two illustrative engagements, one for each service. The names, numbers and schedules show the shape of the work; they are not past clients.
The Longevity Weekend, Lisbon
A host brings together longevity practitioners, clinicians and investors over two days, and wants it to feel lived, not lectured. MuConsultancy designs and runs the experience layer under the host’s name.

Language: say this, not that
The shape of an engagement.
A direct conversation
30 minutes on your audience, venue, brand and what success looks like.
The arc and the measures
Formats, speakers and the few measures that matter, agreed before anything is built.
We run the room
Our crew installs, guides and operates everything: tech, practitioners, visuals, data.
What it did
A clear report and content you can use with partners, guests and investors.
The activation
One event, one room: a conference, side event, launch or private gathering.
The flagship
Multi-day programmes and installations for festivals, retreats and summits.
The brand build
Position, ritual, evidence and launch for a wellness brand or destination.
The resident partner
Resorts, clinics and centres with measured wellness built into their offer.
Every engagement is scoped and priced after the first call.
If we can’t measure it, we don’t promise it.
Measured, not claimed.
We report what the data shows and nothing more.
Null results published.
When an effect isn’t confirmed, we say so plainly.
Wellness, not medicine.
Self-regulation and wellbeing, never treatment.
Privacy first.
Guest data is anonymised and never sold.
Questions we usually get.
Is this a medical service?
No. Activations are wellbeing and self-regulation experiences. The measurements describe what changed during a session; they are not a diagnosis or a treatment.
How many people can take part?
From one guest to rooms of five hundred. A single Breath Lab session works best with 6 to 60 people; larger events run several sessions or a collective format.
How long does an activation last?
From a 40-minute moment inside a conference to a programme of up to seven days.
Is everyone able to take part?
Before a session we ask about epilepsy and photosensitivity, heart conditions, pregnancy and recent psychiatric history. Some of these change the format; a few rule out the light or the cold.
What happens to guest data?
It is anonymised, used only with consent and never sold. Each guest can receive their own one-page summary.
Can it run under our brand?
Yes. We often run the experience layer under the host’s name, with our crew working in the background.
Where do you work, and how is it priced?
We are based in Lisbon and Aljezur and travel across Europe and the Gulf. Each engagement is priced after the first call, from the formats, the days on site, the crew and the travel.
What we need on site
We bring our own equipment and crew. Setup time per format, before doors open:
| Format | Setup | Live EEG |
|---|---|---|
| Breath Lab, one session | ¾ day | Yes |
| Magic Mirror | 1 day | Yes |
| Projection mapping | 1 day | No |
| Taste Discovery | 1½ days | Yes |
| Voxel Cube | 1½–2½ days | With EEG |
| Brain Mirror | 2½ days | Yes |
| Immersive rooms | 2½ days | Yes |
- Access to the space for the setup window above
- Power sockets close to each format
- A room that can be darkened, for light and projection formats
- One contact on site during setup and the event
A technical rider for your formats follows the first call.
Let’s build a room worth measuring.
Tell us about your event, venue or brand. The first step is a 30-minute call: what you want people to feel, and how we’ll know it worked.
