What is ASMR?

Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) is a deeply soothing, "tingling" sensation triggered by personal attention and specific sensory stimuli. Known as a "brain massage," this relaxing current travels from the scalp down the spine, creating a state of profound calm.

Common "triggers" include:

  • Gentle Auditory Cues: Soft whispering, crisp tapping, or rhythmic scratching.

  • Personal Attention: The feeling of being focused on with altruistic, tender care.

  • Visual Artistry: Watching someone perform a task with meticulous care.

  • Tactile Curiosity: Exploring "oddly satisfying" textures and movements.

Everyone’s triggers are unique—our studio is designed to help you discover yours.

What is tinglesbar all about?

A New Way to Unwind. Located in Downtown Toronto, tinglesbar is a first-of-its-kind wellness destination designed for sensory relaxation. We blend ASMR techniques with immersive soundscapes to create a sanctuary for your senses. Our specialists craft customized sessions for immediate relaxation and deep calm.

The Tools of Our Trade. While our voices and hands are our best ASMR tools, each of our sessions features a variety of instruments. For example, back scratchers, scalp massagers, and soft brushes. These tools soothe the senses and relax the mind and body. Our "Dry-ASMR" protocol uses no oils or products.

Custom-Curated Sensory Care. At tinglesbar, relaxation is an art form. Our diverse team of specialists—from yoga instructors to RMTs to sound healers—brings decades of experience in personal care. This expertise allows us to design deeply calming immersive sessions.

Your Sanctuary from the Noise. Our mission is to provide a sensory sanctuary where your well-being takes center stage. We’ve redefined self-care into a personalized journey that quiets the mind and restores the body. Whether escaping the digital grind or seeking silence, we help you unplug and reconnect—one tingle at a time.

Founded by Tammy Lung in 2018, tinglesbar was born as a tribute to the community that she—and millions of others—turned to for relief: the world of online ASMR. For years, the gentle rhythms of hair brushing, soft whispering, and rhythmic tapping lived behind a screen, providing a private sense of calm to viewers globally. Tammy realized this wonderful sensation deserved to be experienced more tangibly.

tinglesbar was created to bring ASMR into the light—offering a new, exciting way to discover and share these experiences in person. Since our inception, the appeal of live, in-person ASMR has reached far beyond the core fandom. We’ve found that the world is hungry for gentle, intentional, personal attention.What started out as an alternative way for fellow ASMR-enthusiasts to enjoy what they could typically only watch online, has quickly became a very real haven for many in the local community. tinglesbar offers an immersive space to receive a moment of quiet care, comfort, and wellbeing. Whether you’re a long-time ASMR content fan or a curious newcomer, we are dedicated to providing a blissful escape.
