Sound-Based Support for Regulation and Connection

The Safe and Sound Protocol is a gentle, evidence-based listening program I offer to support nervous system regulation, resilience, and a deeper sense of safety in the body.

My work is grounded in a whole-person approach to health and wellbeing. The Safe and Sound Protocol fits naturally within this philosophy by supporting a foundational—but often overlooked—part of the nervous system: the middle ear.

When we experience chronic stress, illness, or past trauma, the nervous system can become stuck in a state of protection. In this state, the small muscles of the middle ear—responsible for filtering sound and helping us tune into human voice—may stop functioning optimally. This can show up as sound sensitivity, feeling easily overwhelmed, difficulty focusing or connecting, and a persistent sense of being on edge or shut down.

SSP uses carefully engineered, filtered music to gently re-engage these middle ear muscles. As the ear begins to function more effectively, signals of safety are communicated throughout the nervous system, supporting a gradual shift out of survival mode and into greater regulation, ease, and connection.

Many people notice benefits such as increased calm, improved stress tolerance, reduced sound sensitivity, better sleep, and a greater capacity for communication and social engagement.

I offer SSP at a slow, supportive pace, carefully tailored to each individual’s nervous system. It may be used as a stand-alone offering or integrated alongside coaching and other wellness supports as part of a personalized vitality plan.
