Are you ready to reboot
your nervous system?

LISTEN

Beyond listening 15-30 minutes a day, you do not have to “do” anything to experience the benefits of the SSP.

INTEGRATE

The SSP helps restore the ability to sense “cues of safety,” so you can feel more calm, engaged and balanced.

BENEFIT

The SSP may be helpful in reducing symptoms of anxiety, sensory processing, depression, autism, and more.

How does Safe and Sound Protocol work?

The SSP is based on Polyvagal Theory (the science of feeling safe). Developed by Stephen Porges, PhD, it uses specially filtered music to stimulate the autonomic nervous system (ANS) which helps the body feel safe and less reactive to stress. The program reduces stress, auditory sensitivity, while improving startle response, emotional resilience, and social engagement.

What people say after doing the SSP.

“After the Safe and Sound Protocol, I feel like I could finally connect with myself, recognize and accept who I actually am, and all of a sudden know what my needs are.”

“I truly believe that the SSP resets the nervous system, and has my son feeling safe rather than being in constant fight or flight.”

“I am extremely thankful for the SSP and the reduction in depression, anxiety, and intrusive thoughts it has given me. I am able to enjoy life again and experience calmness. I have motivation to change my lifestyle, and I’m even optimistic about the future.”

3 Nervous System States

Ventral Vagal

Safe. Social. Engaged

Vagus nerve is active and functioning well. You feel calm, centered, and seek out social connection. Your heart beats slower, your breath is slower, and you have reduced stress hormones.

Sympathetic

Fight/Flight. Anxious. Frantic

Sympathetic nervous system has been activated. You feel anxious, irritable, and probably worrying a lot. Your heart is beating faster, you are breathing shallower, you have trouble focusing and you may have digestive issues.

Dorsal Vagal

Numb. Shut Down. Depressed

Dorsal vagal is in shutdown. You want to be alone, lack motivation, and withdrawn. You struggle with fatigue, difficulty thinking, and you have great difficulty functioning.

How does the SSP help?

Feel Less Anxious, Less irritable

When the nervous system is calmer, you feel balanced, which means less anxiety and less irritation. This will help with management of overwhelm and it’s easier to get things done.

Better Social Connections

You will find it easier to connect openly and authentically with others. You may find you are less guarded and more relaxed around others.

Reduced Stress Response

SSP helps to calm the nervous system, reducing your startle response and providing greater control in stressful situations.

Think More Clearly

Stress makes it hard for our brain to function. Calming the nervous system helps optimize the frontal cortex so we can think and process better.

What is required to do the SSP?

Getting Started

Contact me for an initial consultation to discuss the program and determine if it is right for you.
If you choose to sign up, you will pay the enrollment fee and complete intake paperwork.
The only equipment you need is over-the-ear headphones (non-noise canceling) and a computer or smartphone.

Doing the Program

In our virtual intake appointment, we will determine how many minutes a day you will spend listening to the program. It is usually 15-30 minutes per day.
While listening, you will engage in calming activities like arts and crafts, sitting in the garden, lying on the couch, or doing a jigsaw puzzle.
You will complete the sessions and communicate any concerns to your certified SSP practitioner.

After the Program

Once you complete the 5-hour Core SSP, it will take 6-8 weeks for your brain to integrate the changes fully.
During this time you can listen to Balance SSP to promote integration.
3 months after doing the program you will be eligible to complete it again.

Initial virtual intake appointment, one virtual post-program appointment with a certified SSP practitioner.
