B-Pulse is a pair of wireless devices that vibrate in an alternating pattern. When worn on both sides of the body, the gentle vibrations create an effect called bilateral stimulation, which regulates the nervous system by reintegrating both sides of the brain. Bilateral stimulation is best known for its use in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, the leading evidence-based treatment for trauma (Shapiro, F., 2001, EMDR: Basic Principles, Protocols, and Procedures). However, the way bilateral stimulation activates the body’s natural calming response also makes it an effective tool for supporting emotional regulation and managing the symptoms of ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (Schaaf, R.C., Benevides, T.W., Kelly, D., & Mailloux, Z., 2014, Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders). Tactile bilateral stimulation has been found to reduce stress significantly, helping cortisol levels decrease by 23% in just 30 minutes (Amino, A.M., Davis, C.L., & King, J.R., 2017, The Impact of Bilateral Stimulation on Cortisol Levels).
Unlike many other bilateral stimulation products, B-Pulse is designed to meet the needs of both adults and children. These devices are equipped with Bluetooth for wireless control from the free Bumble BLS app for iOS and Android. In addition to the freedom of movement it allows, B-Pulse is built “play-proof” to withstand sand and water. With a range of colorful wristbands, plush holders and other accessories available from Bumble BLS, kids can make B-Pulse their own.
The free Bumble BLS app provides precise control over the vibration speed, intensity and duration, and allows the user, therapist or parent to save their favorite settings for easy recall. The app also features bilateral visuals, tones and music that can be used independently or synced with B-Pulse for a multisensory experience.
In addition to B-Pulse, Bumble BLS publishes therapeutic children’s books written by founder Lauren Stockly. The bestselling title “Be Mindful of Monsters” teaches emotional regulation through a relatable, gender-neutral protagonist and a supplemental interactive workbook. For children who are recovering from trauma, Bumble BLS offers “EMDR Editions” of the story and workbook that introduce and explain EMDR therapy.
