360Destress combines easily accessible technology and personal development to strengthen your wellbeing and mental health. Backed by science on positive psychology and stress relief, you are able to define your stress enablers and energy drivers in just 8 clear steps. The online program is enriched with a unique Virtual Reality immersive program to boost your personal vitality and resilience.
Our online destress program gets you to work on the key aspects of vitality and resilience. It provides professional insight into stress and how you can deal with it, how to recognise ‘red flags’ are and how to make sure things do not get too much for you. The programme offers inspirational videos, interviews, exercises and of course our VR environment.
Mindfulness takes on a whole new dimension in Virtual Reality. Visit the Northern Lights, make a stopover on the glaciers and slide into deep relaxation in a flowery meadow. Daily daydreaming with a VR headset is relaxing and refreshing, and really helps distance yourself from issues and maintain a healthier life balance.
Our Virtual Destress Coach helps you to determine your starting point: what are your stress challenges and what will be your plan to deal with stress and avoid burnout. The VR program assists you further with mindful and mental health exercises. Easily develop your tailored plan, based on what works for you — a few minutes a day, or more, according to your preferences.

There is nothing wrong with a small amount of stress at work. It keeps you on your toes and can provide the necessary pressure to get to the best result. But excessive work stress – when employees experience a great deal of pressure – is something you want to avoid, both as an employee and as an employer. Better safe than sorry, preventing is better than curing here too!
Don’t wait until things go wrong, but help your employees deal with stress at work in good time. Our Virtual Destress Coach can be instrumental in helping them identify stress at an early stage, how to deal with it, how they can involve their colleagues, management, and HR, and not unimportantly, how to stay happy at work.
Timely identification and appropriate anticipation lead to less absenteeism, happier employees, greater team spirit, higher performance, and better control of the company’s progress. You also retain talent longer when employees see that you, as an employer, pay attention to their well-being and actively promote it.

“There have been several studies investigating the effect of VR on stress reduction. A study using a mobile application that delivers VR showed that stress level was reduced in a cost-effective and accessible manner by VR (37). Another VR study showed objective and subjective effects of relaxation by means of VR with natural scenes compared to scenes with indoor settings (38). In a work population with high stress, when immersive natural scenarios were applied to learning specific relaxation techniques, there was a reduction in chronic trait anxiety and an increase in coping skills (39). A study tried mindfulness using VR and showed the possibility of mindful attention and relaxation by means of VR (40).” READ MORE
“Virtual reality has been used effectively to promote relaxation and reduce stress. It is possible to find two main approaches to achieve such aims across the literature. The first one is focused on generic environments filled with relaxing “narratives” to induce control over one’s own body and physiological response, while the second one engages the user in virtual reality-mediated activities to empower his/her own abilities to regulate emotion. The scope of the present contribution is to extend the discourse on VR use to promote relaxation, by proposing a third approach. This would be based on VR with personalized content, based on user research to identify important life events. As a second step, distinctive features of such events may be rendered with symbols, activities or other virtual environments contents. According to literature, it is possible that such an approach would obtain more sophisticated and long-lasting relaxation in users. The present contribution explores this innovative theoretical proposal and its potential applications within future research and interventions.” READ MORE
