Rest and Restore Protocol (RRP)
Rest and Restore Protocol™ is an innovative, clinical-grade listening therapy based on homeostatic entrainment within a behavioral neuroscience framework, developed by Stephen Porges and Anthony Gorry.
It guides the nervous system toward homeostasis by restoring internal physiological rhythms, supporting the shift from stress and fatigue toward balance, recovery and restoration.
How It Works
RRP is informed by decades of research studying physiological rhythms in the body, including heart rate, respiration, blood pressure, and gut, alongside deep knowledge of advanced sound technology to support deep relaxation and optimal recovery for clients.
The Rest and Restore Protocol is enhanced by Sonocea® which is an innovative, patent-pending technology that uses sound acoustics through music to sync with the natural biological rhythms of the body.
Stimulating these natural rhythms sends cues of safety to the nervous system, promoting healing functions that aid in mental and physical restoration. RRP embeds biological rhythms into unique musical themes, signaling the healing functions of the autonomic nervous system.This scientifically engineered acoustic signal and music support deep relaxation and optimal recovery for clients.
Nervous System Regulation is Essential for Our Well Being
The autonomic nervous system regulates essential bodily functions. When we feel in danger, this system kicks in to protect us by engaging what are commonly known as the "fight/flight" or "freeze" responses. For some, these "flight/flight" or "freeze" responses may become activated or remain in a chronic state of dysregulation due to stress, trauma or neurodivergence.
You may be able to identify when your autonomic nervous system is in a defensive state if you notice difficulties with:
​
-
Breathing
-
Sleep
-
Mental Clarity
-
Digestion
-
Concentration
-
Social Connection
​
This research backed protocol may reduce symptoms, support health and overall resilience for people seeking support for:
​
-
Trauma history
-
Depression and anxiety
-
Gastrointestinal and gut issues
-
Sleep
-
Chronic pain and fatigue
-
Chronic health conditions
-
Functional disorders
-
And more

"[After Rest and Restore Protocol], I felt an immediate reduction in tension."
DS
"My HVR has gone up by a whole half point with this protocol. I feel less reactive and calmer"
LM
"Following Rest and Restore Protocol, my client noticed a significant shift that included less headaches, improved sleep, and changes in digestion."
