Wellness Lounge
College is a time of new beginnings, academic achievement, and an active social life. Unfortunately, high stress can follow you along the way and is an inevitable part of the experience. Take advantage of the many resources on campus to indulge in self-care, connect with others, and increase your quality of mental health and overall wellness.

Light Therapy Rental Pilot Program
The Light Therapy Rental Pilot Program will coincide with the end of Daylight Savings Time, and will run from early November through early March of the following year. Students can rent out Light Therapy spectrum lamps for up to one week at a time. View the Light Therapy Info Sheet.
Students may check out Light Therapy lamps at the Wellness Lounge front desk during regular open hours throughout the duration of program availability or call 408-924-5678.
Massage Chair Appointments
We have two state-of-the-art massage chairs available to all SJSU students! Enjoy a 30-minute session to relieve stress once per week. Massage chairs are now available for drop-in use on a first-come, first-served basis. Stop by the Wellness Lounge front desk to check if the chairs are available.
Before dropping in for a massage, students must first watch the Massage Chair Instructional Video to learn more about how to set up the massage chair, along with other helpful information regarding session flows. Students must watch the instructional video once per academic year, as important updates to the session flows will be outlined in the video.
Ready to relax? Please wear or bring clean socks, and consider bringing a full length beach or shower towel to place over the chair during your session.

Create & Connect
Connect with peers and create art through painting and coloring sheets. Artistic expression is a means of relaxing and creating community connections. During Fall and Spring semesters, painting is available in the Lounge each Thursday from 10:00am - 4:00pm, and coloring sheets are available at all times.
Can’t make it into the Lounge to paint or color? Check out our new digital coloring sheets to relax and color wherever you may be. Check back periodically for new coloring sheets that coincide with our health promotion campaigns.
