This article explores the relationship between the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) and tinnitus—clearing up common misconceptions, explaining potential risks, and highlighting how thoughtful pacing and expert guidance can make SSP safe - and in some cases, even beneficial for those with tinnitus.

In this podcast interview, I share how I work as a therapist using Somatic Experiencing, Brainspotting, SSP, RRP, and intuition to support deep, lasting change. We explore nervous system healing, provider alignment, polyvagal-informed therapy, and even using SSP with pets.

No matter what healing approach you offer, your presence is part of the medicine. This article shares three essential pillars that help any provider build a practice that feels joyful, sustainable, and truly aligned—with support for both your clients and your own nervous system.

A heartfelt personal account of my transformative journey with the Rest & Restore Protocol (RRP). I have experienced many profound improvements. Along the way it was a gradual, almost imperceptible process with some dysregulation along the way. Once processed and settled, that dysregulation lead to even deeper healing.

What if productivity isn’t about pushing through but about working with your natural rhythm? In this post, I share how a day of following my instincts—repotting plants, building LEGO flowers, and walking my dogs—led to more creativity, inspiration, and progress than forcing myself to work. This shift, influenced by the Rest & Restore Protocol (RRP) and embracing my neurodivergence, has helped me move away from rigid expectations and toward a more compassionate, effective way of working. Read on to see why rest isn’t the opposite of productivity—it’s a key part of it.

Have you heard of RRP and are wondering what all of the excitement is about? I was lucky enough to help this past summer with a pilot study for this brand new auditory intervention designed to revitalize your body, refresh your mind, and restore your energy naturally.
