In-person ASMR spas & services (updated Nov 16, 2025)
Do you know that some places in the world offer in-person ASMR services?
Perhaps you do, but I’m not sure most people are aware of this.
Yet, I’ve been seeing these services pop up in the USA, UK, London, Singapore, and other countries since 2015.
They are often called “ASMR Spa” and “ASMR Services”, but they are also offered as “Touch Therapy”, “Soft Touch Services”, “Light Touch Treatments”, “Backscratching Services”, and other names.
Below is a list of examples, followed by some data that demonstrates the desire for in-person ASMR services among many people.
Health benefits of ASMR for anxiety, insomnia, depression, and more.
I’ve created a new page for the website titled, “Health Benefits of ASMR.”
The page has a list of conditions which may be improved by experiencing ASMR. Each condition includes supporting resources such as; published research, ongoing research, testimonials, and supportive articles.
Unfortunately, it will take a lot more research, especially clinical studies, before the potential clinical application of ASMR will be understood. This new page just highlights some of the initial support that will hopefully assist and inspire other researchers and clinicians to do more studies.
If ASMR has helped you somehow, you can share your experience at the Voices of ASMR project and it will automatically be included to this new page.
If you know of a resource which highlights how ASMR has helped someone, then please send a link to asmruniversity@gmail.com and I’ll add it the page.
A current list of the potential health benefits of ASMR (with links to supporting resources) is below.
Participate now in a research study about ASMR, flow, tingles, and relaxation.
