Enabling Safety and Restoration

I am certified in

  • Safe and Sound Protocol and

  • Rest and Restore Protocol

These programs are offered to bring a deeper level of change throughout the therapeutic process for your support and restoration. These protocols are therapeutic music listening programs that aid your nervous system in feeling safe, which allows your brain and body to open to more healing and restoration. It moves your brain out of fight or flight to enable cognitive, emotional, and behavioral shifts using specially designed music that helps your brain feel safe and make positive changes. It unburdens the body from the stress of being “on guard” so healing and restoration naturally develops.

Safe and Sound Protocol

SSP is a process that uses sound and music as a means to modulate how the brain is responding to experiences.  It helps to reduce sensitivities, enhance relational engagement, and become more resilient. 

SSP works well with a wide variety of struggles, such as:

  • Mood dysregulation, anxiety, depression

  • Social engagement difficulties 

  • Sensory and Developmental, Neurodiverse challenges (Autism spectrum, ADD/ADHD, Sensory processing, Auditory processing, dyslexia, attachment)                                         

  •  Trauma, PTSD                                

  • and more…

SSP can enhance therapeutic effects and outcomes of: 

  • Counseling

  • Occupational therapy

  • Speech therapy

  • Physiological therapies

  • and more

Positive Changes in cognitive, emotional, and behavioral organization and well-being.

These changes facilitate more relational connection, emotional stability, calmness, and functional organization (how we think, feel, and act).

Rest and Restore Protocol

Rest and Restore works on a deeper level of restoring the impact of stress and trauma on the body. It works in similar ways to SSP, while offering a deeper, somatic restoration. Our bodies store distress, memories, and neurological pathways, and RRP works with the body to shift how the body is responding to a much more adaptable response.
