What to Expect
Enhanced Wellbeing
“I carved out time to solely focus on myself. I loved lying in the cocoon listening to inspiring podcasts, reading or meditating.”

Enhanced Living
Cocoon makes Hyperbaric Chamber Therapy (mHBOT) convenient and accessible for all Kiwi’s in search of a sustainable road to recovery and optimal health.
We provide installation of our precision engineered Cocoon Healing Pods, as well as full training, anywhere in the Auckland area, and within the comfort of your own home.
With your personal healing pod, you can have daily treatments following your Cocoon personally prepared mHBOT plan. This makes mHBOT treatment very effective.
Just Breathe
HBO is about providing close to 100% oxygen. In the normal atmosphere we breathe close to 21%.
The delivery system used is a hyperbaric chamber or Healing Pod. The pressure in the chamber induces the patient to absorb more oxygen through the ‘normal process of breathing’.
Each session is between 60-90 minutes.
Once the Cocoon seals and the session commences, you may (or may not) feel the changes in air pressure in your ears. In 7-15 minutes you reach your treatment pressure. Your chamber remains at your prescribed treatment pressure for the duration of your session.
Our patients often tell us they don’t notice the pressure changes. Many say the feeling is similar to that of driving over the mountains, or even going up in a plane. You may hear a popping sensation in your ears, and that's normal. Generally, your ears are the only part of the body sensitive enough to notice the pressure change.
The whole process should feel quite comfortable.
When you reach full treatment pressure, we recommend that you adopt a meditative healing state to maximise your recovery. When your time is up you will depressurise and your treatment is complete.
Many patients say it’s the most relaxing part of their day, and they look forward to Hyperbaric Therapy as a break from all of the demand of their lives.
