Snetha is a British Indian living in the United Kingdom. She describes herself as a spiritually-minded, worldly, and caring person who has love and support for all those around her and for those in the world.
As the ASMR artist known as CoconutsWhisper, she provides love and support for those in the world through her relaxing and enchanting YouTube videos.
As a mother of a child with microcephaly, she provides love and support for her son through her daily parenting and caregiving.
Parenting in general has many inherent challenges, being a parent of a child with microcephaly has additional challenges – for both her and her son.
Snetha wondered if and how her son might react to ASMR videos. To both their delights she discovered that the videos were a new way to provide relief to her son.
One of the key aspects of ASMR is that it is a very relaxing state which seems to de-stress the mind and body.
Emma Barrett and Nick Davis actually proposed a body map of the ASMR sensation in their 2015 research paper.
The big similarity between WhisperingLife’s first whisper video channel and the relaxation video channels which preceded her channel is that both channel types relaxed and soothed the viewers.
People often stumble across ASMR when searching for natural methods and products to help them sleep.
