Active Wellness options by Victoria Matey
Physical depletion and its cognitive consequences
Cognitive performance is inseparable from physical state, and this pod addresses that connection directly as a brain performance tool. Runs independently.
Overstimulation and nervous system overload
This pod offers a structured break from stimulation and specifically from devices, which compound cognitive load even when used passively. The specific in-pod experience will be developed to achieve this outcome intentionally and without requiring any facilitation. Runs independently.
Performance, professional development, and event psychology
This is the ‘brain clinic’ pod, anchored by Victoria Matey: short, focused 1:1 sessions to meet the lifelong learning needs of the audience. At events industry shows, sessions focus on event psychology – the behavioral science of how people think, feel, connect, and decide in event contexts. At non-industry shows, the coaching is adapted for that specific audience, typically using psychology for professional performance and development. Attendees leave with concrete, practical insights. This pod adds engagement and credibility to the entire activation. It demonstrates that NOOK Event Pods® can host meaningful professional development, not just rest or a charging solution. The session structure and conversation framework for this pod are developed by Victoria Matey as part of the project.
Social anxiety and the friction of meaningful networking
Networking is the primary reason most people attend events, yet it’s one of the leading sources of stress while there. Using psychology-backed strategies, this pod creates a structured, low-stakes entry point into connection. The strategies for this pod are to be developed by Victoria Matey as part of the project. Runs independently once deployed.

Essential Oil Hand Massages
Pamper your guests with essential oil hand massages by our certified massage therapists. Physical benefits of massage include improved circulation, decreased muscle stiffness and decreased joint inflammation. The essential oils offer an uplighting or relaxing addition.
Mini Breathwork Sessions
Breathwork, the conscious control of breathing patterns, offers profound physical and mental health benefits by activating the parasympathetic nervous system (“rest and digest”) and lowering stress hormones like cortisol. It effectively reduces anxiety, lowers blood pressure, improves sleep quality, and boosts energy levels
Mini Meditation Sessions
Our practitioners will lead participants in meditation sessions that will recenter and revitalize. Research suggests just five minutes of meditation a day could significantly reduce stress and improve emotional coping, helping to promote general wellbeing as a result. Sessions are approximately 10 minutes unless requested otherwise.
Aromatherapy Education and Application
Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils to improve your health or well-being. Essential oils are extracts from plants and help temper anxiety, improve sleep, reduce nausea, and even ease pain.
Participants will take seat with our Aromatherapist to learn how essential oils can heal and then choose which oils they would like to apply. With the takeaway upgrade, participants can mix essential oils to create customized scents.
- Includes:
- (1) Aromatherapist to educate and apply specific oils to each participant
- Variety of doTerra Essential Oils
Takeaway Pouch also available for additional fees

Wellness Card Readings
Our “oracle” will encourage guests to use their card reading as a way to tap into their health and wellness. Our oracle will reveal which wellness practice is calling by interpreting tarot cards. Includes (1) Reader
