Sound Protocol

The sound protocol is a brilliant fit for anyone struggling with the impact of anxiety, depression or chronic stress. When the body is distressed it redirects bloodflow to the survival systems of the body and away from the part of the brain we need to manage emotions and think clearly.

  • The Safe and Sound Protocol works with the vagus nerve to intensively activate the relaxation response and alleviate distress. When the body is distressed it redirects bloodflow to the survival systems of the body and away from the part of the brain we need to manage emotions and think clearly.

  • The Rest and Restore Protocol™ is designed to promote deep relaxation, recovery, and balance in the body and mind. RRP targets the healing qualities of the autonomic nervous system, helping to improve physical and mental well-being.

The sound is played through headphones from an app so can be delivered either face to face or virtually via Zoom.

After a full course of sound and autonomic mapping the body returns to an optimised state of balance and resilience.

The Sound Protocols are a licensed, clinical grade sound intervention that intensively activate the relaxation response to alleviate distress. After a course of sound and autonomic mapping (calming the nervous system) the body returns to an optimised state of balance and resilience.

These sessions are a good fit for:

  • Acute Anxiety

  • Sleep issues

  • Inflammation

  • Social Anxiety

  • Chronic Stress

  • Emotional reactivity

  • Depression

  • ASD/C (Autism Spectrum Disorder/Condition)

  • ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)

  • HSP (Highly Sensitive Person)

  • IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)

Which Protocol is the best fit for you?

Choose SSP (Safe & Sound Protocol) if:

• You or your loved one struggles with external emotional triggers, social anxiety, or auditory sensitivity.

• There is overarousal, restlessness, or hypervigilance, especially in social settings.

Choose RRP (Rest & Restore Protocol) if:

• You or your loved one experiences emotional dysregulation with internal disconnection—feeling “numb,” dissociated, or not in tune with bodily cues.

• Relaxation is difficult because of unconscious body tension, irregular breathing, or disrupted internal rhythms which can result in issues with sleep or digestion.

• You’ve tried mindfulness or SSP and still feel disconnected from your body or emotions.

Both tools can support emotional regulation and relaxation, but they act on different access points:

SSP = external safety cue → brain → body

• RRP = body rhythm → brainstem → body-brain connection

For top-down anxiety (social stress, emotional overwhelm), SSP may be a great start.

For bottom-up disconnection (body numbness, trauma, chronic tension), RRP could be more impactful.
