Less like arriving at a clinic, more like being welcomed to someone’s home — because that’s what it is.
Dreamlab is a small, private place on rural land about 15 minutes south of Madison. We don’t publish the address — the exact location and directions arrive with your booking confirmation. It’s an easy drive; you’ll know you’re close when the road quiets down and the fields open up.
It’s a quiet stretch of land — a creek and woods along one edge, open pasture, a barn, and a small herd of four or five horses who are very much part of the place. You’ll see them as you arrive; most people do a double-take. The studio you passed is where Jonathan makes things — pottery, woodwork, electronics. None of it is staged. It’s a home and a working property, and dreamlab lives inside it.
Light work happens in the loft above the living room, up a set of stairs inside the house. The chair is positioned to look straight out over the horses — it’s where we usually run the near-infrared and red light, and the view is half the point. Because light reaches tissue best on bare skin, dress so the area we’re working on is easy to expose; we’ll talk that through when you book. Eye protection goes on before any light does. What a session feels like, start to finish, is on what to expect.
There’s a bathroom you’re welcome to use before or after. We always meet you in person, so there’s no checking in and no waiting room. Afterward, we’ll offer you a beverage — with an optional vitamin cocktail — and a minute to land before you head out. If you’re a member and waivered for it, you’re invited to walk right out into the field on your way home — not a horse tied to a post, but the herd in their own pasture, where you can stand among them, pet them, and just be. (Watch your step for the horsepies.) The creek is there too, if you want it: a natural cold plunge that runs cool year-round — bracing, but never ice.
Often paired with hyperbaric oxygen therapy — same visit, converging biology.
