Discover the Safe and Sound Protocol

Because all healing begins with safety.

Are you stuck in chronic states of anxiety, shutdown or emotional reactivity, despite your best efforts and the best interventions ?

what’s missing may not be another technique, but a regulated nervous system.

A gentle, science-based path to mental wellness and emotional resilience.

Developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, the SSP functions as a non-invasive acoustic vagus nerve stimulator that helps clients connect with themselves, others, and the world from a foundation of physiological safety.

What is SSP

Five hours of music, long lasting impact.

The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is a powerful listening therapy designed to help regulate the nervous system, so you can better connect with yourself, others and the world around you.

Humans need social connection

​

Subconsciously, your nervous system is always looking for cues of safety from other people through things like body language, facial expression or tone of voice.

​But if you have a harder time interpreting these cues of safety due to past experiences or the way you take in information, your brain and body can misinterpret these cues, limiting your ability to connect in a meaningful way.

Think, feel, and connect better through your nervous system

​How does the SSP work?

​Through the specially filtered music, the SSP sends cues of safety to your nervous system, building the foundation for awareness, embodiment and resilience

Benefits of Nervous System Regulation

Improved response to stress

When our nervous system is regulated, it’s easier to sleep, eat, digest, concentrate, communicate, in meaningful relationships with others. We can better respond to difficult situations and move past them instead of reacting and getting “stuck” in them. This is the foundation of true resilience—meeting life with greater emotional clarity and inner steadiness.

Better emotional regulation & resilience

One of the most profound gifts of the Safe and Sound Protocol is the ability to feel more emotionally balanced and resilient in everyday life. As your nervous system begins to feel safer and more supported, you'll notice a greater capacity to stay present and grounded—even in the face of stress or emotional triggers.

Deeper relationship connections

SSP works by gently stimulating the part of your nervous system that supports safety, social engagement, and connection. As this system comes online, you may find yourself feeling more at ease in your interactions—less guarded, more open, and better able to both express yourself and truly listen to others. Over time, leading to deeper, more authentic relationships.

Works alongside you, wherever you are on your healing journey.

Supports many symptoms and conditions

The SSP may be helpful in reducing symptoms and supporting overall health and resiliency for people seeking support for:

  • Depression and anxiety

  • Neurodevelopmental differences, such as autism, hyperactivity and attention

  • Learning difficulties

  • Sensory processing differences

  • Trauma history

  • And more

What clients say about SSP

I’ve tried a lot of therapies, but SSP felt different. It gave my nervous system a chance to reset. I sleep better, I react less, and I feel more present in my everyday life.

Sarah W.

"After going through SSP, I finally felt like my body could relax in a way it never had before. I’m not constantly on edge anymore—there’s a sense of calm that’s just... there. It’s subtle, but powerful." 

Karen B.

Living with ADHD, my brain always felt like it was running five tabs at once—with no way to slow down. After going through SSP, something shifted. I felt calmer, more focused, and less reactive. It didn’t make everything perfect, but it helped me feel more in control of my own mind. 

Stephen L

With Parkinson’s, so much feels out of your control. SSP gave me a sense of calm I hadn’t felt in years. My anxiety eased, my sleep improved, and I began feeling more connected to the people around me.
