As a performance coach, I rely on 'Rest and Restore Protocol' as an essential passive recovery tool to help high-achievers effectively down-regulate the chronically heightened physiological states they often experience. The 'Rest and Restore Protocol' consistently proves its value by promoting deeper rest and relaxation for my clients by lowering resting heart rate, increasing heart rate variability, and reducing muscular tension.

In my private practice, I have seen promising results with Rest and Restore Protocol. Building on Dr. Porges' research, this acoustic intervention appeared to be particularly helpful for trauma survivors, many of whom have struggled with comfortably relaxing. After listening to the full protocol, they appeared to be able to find ways to rest without their system moving into sympathetic activation or shutdown. A few reported being comfortable walking outside or experiencing intimacy. These initial outcomes indicate the potential for a new way of supporting healthy autonomic regulation in trauma-informed care.

Since introducing 'Rest and Restore Protocol' into my clinic, I have witnessed profound benefits throughout my clients. From helping to 'thaw' the most severely 'frozen' clients to gifting a state of regulation previously never felt within the clients felt sense. 'Rest and Restore Protocol' has proved itself to be an intervention gift.

This gentle yet powerful program helps soften our earliest states of shutdown, which can lead to patterned responses in our behaviors, relationships, and emotional experiences. Through the gentle repetition and resourcing of 'Rest and Restore Protocol' sound program frequencies, the nervous system and body slowly unwind, allowing us to meet and engage with stuck patterns with greater awareness and attuned presence. The profound shifts I have witnessed with this program are both encouraging and inspiring, as clients cultivate a greater sense of inner clarity, emotional resilience, and self-agency in their lives.

Rest and Restore Protocol (RRP) calms and restores, allowing people to thrive and not just survive. RRP supports my therapy with infants, children, and adolescents. It improves body, interoceptive awareness, sleep and enhances engagement. It has helped produce greater biological rhythms with infants necessary to improve eating and to decrease reflux (as well as supporting the worried parent's nervous systems).
