Gentle support for your nervous system

 
 
 

Safe & Sound Protocol is for you if:

  • You consistently find yourself unable to take the steps you know are necessary to create the change that you desire

  • You’re dealing with overwhelm, anxiety, fatigue, or chronic stress that often prevents you from tending to your physical or emotional needs

  • You know your nervous system needs some TLC, but you’re not sure how to actually regulate

  • You’re ready to break free from old patterns and coping mechanisms

  • You’re stuck in survival mode, or dealing with trauma or burnout

  • Your body is highly reactive to foods, supplements, medications, or your external environment 

  • You’ve tried lots of other modalities, healing therapies, and mind-body support, and nothing has really helped

  • You’re craving more authenticity, connection, and joy in your life

  • You’re looking for a somatic-based tool for stress, anxiety, overwhelm, chronic illness, or pain – something different than meditation or breathwork

  • You want to feel fully present in your body, and responsive to its needs

  • You want to build capacity in your nervous system so that you’re less reactive, more grounded, and more resilient

What to expect with SSP

 
 

Step 1

  • If you’re a new client interested in SSP, apply here so we can make sure it will be a good fit for your needs! We offer SSP to folks who who are enrolled in our monthly membership for 1:1 support, either as a standalone option or as an add-on to nutrition support.

  • If you’re an established 1:1 client, contact us to inquire about accessing SSP support.

 
 
 

Step 2

  • We’ll schedule your SSP intake session (60-90 minutes, depending on whether you’re a new or established client). 

  • You’ll fill out some assessment forms and questionnaires and meet with our SSP practitioner, Sandy Jones, so she can create a customized, therapeutic listening protocol based on your needs.

 
 
 

Step 3

  • You’ll meet with Sandy 2x/month (30 minutes per session) for 3-4 consecutive months.

  • Sandy will guide your personalized listening experience and help you get the most out of SSP.  She’ll also be available over our client portal for any SSP-related questions or concerns that come up between sessions.

 
 
 
 

After 3-4 months working with an SSP pracititioner, most people report significant improvements in their wellbeing and their ability to feel more grounded and present in their bodies.

Let's Work Together!
 

  • No, it’s just an option we offer.

    We’ve found it integrates well with nutrition support and/or group coaching, and we try to provide flexible options for our clients who want to take advantage of SSP, but there’s no obligation!

    Some clients may choose to begin our work together primarily with SSP. For others, we may want to focus entirely on nutrition, or consider utilizing both nutrition and SSP support together at some point. That’s something you and your practitioner decide on together.

  • SSP uses music that’s unlike any other – although you may already be familiar with the tracks, which include options for classical music, pop music, and even children’s music for pediatric populations. However, it’s filtered through a patented algorithm that highlights specific sound frequencies that are similar to the human voice.

    As you listen to your designated SSP track, these highlighted frequencies send cues of safety to your nervous system, which can help you feel more balanced. Over your time listening (generally 3-4 months), the specific frequencies included will gradually increase, which helps build more tolerance and ease in the nervous system.

  • You’ll listen to your SSP track through an app that you access via your phone. We’ll also need to make sure you have headphones that meet specific requirements, which we can help you source if necessary.

  • You’ll receive customized guidance on what activities are most supportive of your listening experience. Most often, a calming activity (like coloring) is recommended.

  • Usually, yes! Children and adults can benefit. Fill out our application form and indicate you’re interested in SSP and we’ll get back to you.

  • SSP is based in Polyvagal Theory, which posits that the vagus nerve (a key part of the parasympathetic nervous system) has two structural pathways whose manifestations are either feeling safe, calm, and resilient or feeling unsafe, anxious, or shut down. Dr. Stephen Porges is the author of Polyvagal Theory and the creator of the Safe & Sound Protocol.

  • We offer SSP via the same structure and cost as our 1:1 Nutrition sessions — as a new client, you’d start with a 90-minute comprehensive intake session to discuss your health history and make a personalized plan for your needs. You’ll meet with us on a monthly basis via our 1:1 Monthly Membership, regardless of whether you’re doing SSP or nutrition, or a combination of the two together.

    For clients who are utilizing both nutrition and SSP simultaneously, we charge an SSP add-on fee of $135/month.

    You may also need to purchase headphones that meet SSP specifications.
