Safety, Connection, and Nervous System Regulation
Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)
-
SSP is a collaborative process, there the provider and client navigate together toward better autonomic regulation. We will customize your program to meet your individual needs, and we will likely integrate your SSP listening with bodywork, such as: massage, gentle touch, CranioSacral Therapy, and / or Reiki to support you in co-regulation and finding your ventral vagal, parasympathetic state. I offer programs in person, remote, or hybrid.
- SSP is a five-hour auditory intervention developed and patented by Dr. Stephen Porges, author of the Polyvagal Theory. Five total hours of music will be titrated slowly over time.
-
SSP is designed to reduce sound sensitivity, and improve auditory processing and behavioral state regulation.
-
SSP activates the client’s social engagement system, helping to accelerate and enhance therapeutic outcomes (i.e. bodywork, manual therapies, cognitive/psychological therapies, behavioral therapies, etc.).
-
SSP supports physiological state regulation, allowing for greater health and resilience.
- Through nervous system regulation, we can…
FEEL BETTER
Respond effectively to
life’s challenges
“Respond vs. react,” replacing emotionally charged reactivity with controlled responsiveness and resilience.
THINK BETTER
Access higher
learning and cognition
Learn and retain important facts and concepts that enable greater confidence and societal contribution.
CONNECT BETTER

social relationships

connect with others.
Note: You will need over the ear headphones that are not noise cancelling or have the ability to turn off the noise cancelling feature.
$565-$1650 for 6 months and depending on support hours and delivery method (in person, remote, or hybrid).
