A Guided Listening Experience for Nervous System Regulation
Pricing & Program Options / SSP vs. RRP Comparison Chart

The Rest and Restore Protocol™ (RRP), developed by Dr. Stephen Porges and Anthony Gorry, is an innovative, clinical-grade listening therapy designed to promote relaxation, recovery, and balance in both body and mind. Referred to as “stealth meditation,” it is more than just a gong, a bell, or a calming soundscape that temporarily influences your state—it is researched-backed somatic education for your body and biological rhythms that has the potential to re-establish the foundational flow of information necessary for overall health.

Each body is its own collection of experiences and adaptations, so your experience with the Rest and Restore Protocol™ will be unique. You may notice shifts during your listening sessions or even weeks afterward as your system continues to integrate. For some, the shifts are incredibly subtle while others experience profound changes. Like any intervention we do for our health, this is just one part of your overall ecosystem of health and wellness and is often best used in conjunction with other therapies such as massage, physical therapy, mental health therapy, etc..
Have you ever had a massage and found yourself telling your therapist, “I’m trying to relax (insert body part here), but I’m having a hard time,” or “I wasn’t aware that my (insert body part here) wasn’t allowing you to move it”?
Even when your mind seems to manage stress well, your body may tell a different story. Over time, chronic stress without adequate recovery can disrupt the natural biorhythms of your internal organs. Because your organs and brain constantly communicate through the vagus nerve and brainstem, this dysregulation can ripple throughout your system, leading to fatigue, sleep disturbances, emotional disturbances, digestive issues, immune imbalance, or a general sense of disconnection from your body.
Sonocea® Enhanced sound is the first-ever technology to enshrine our internal systems and organs to a natural rhythm of calm and safety, influencing our physical and mental well-being,” – Anthony Gorry
Our bodies are governed by natural rhythms—breathing, heart rate, digestion, and sleep—that interact through intricate feedback loops. The RRP is informed by decades of research on these physiological rhythms and their relationship to the nervous system. Through Sonocea® Enhanced technology, the RRP delivers infrasound frequencies (slower than the human ear can detect) that gently guide your body’s rhythms into coherence through entrainment, supporting autonomic balance and restoration. This scientifically engineered sound experience provides a subtle yet powerful way to help your system unwind and recover by educating it, not just stimulating it temporarily.
As a 5-hour, app-based, at-home listening protocol, RRP offers a safe and effortless path toward deeper calm and body-mind connection. All you need to do is set aside time to listen and allow your system to receive.
While the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) focuses on improving connection with the outer world, helping you feel safer, more socially engaged, and more open and responsive to your environment, the Rest and Restore Protocol™ (RRP) supports connection with your inner world, helping you attune to your body’s natural rhythms and signals from within.
People often turn to the Rest and Restore Protocol™(RRP) for support with:
- Stress management
- Anxiety or depression
- Difficulty relaxing
- Insomnia
- IBS or digestive discomfort
- Chronic pain or muscle tension
- Headaches
- Feeling disconnected from the body
- Low heart rate variability
- Recovery from illness, burnout, or overexertion
Even if you aren’t experiencing these symptoms daily, the Rest and Restore Protocol™ (RRP) can help re-establish the free flow of information between body and mind. As your natural biorhythms re-align, you may notice positive changes in areas you hadn’t expected.
The 5-hour Rest and Restore Protocol™ (RRP) is delivered through an easy-to-use app for both iPhone and Android. You can listen from home on your own schedule, and depending on your program, we may listen together at specific points in your process.
Some people listen daily; others follow the rhythm their nervous system allows. While some complete the program in a few weeks, others take several months. The pace depends largely on your system’s current state, which we’ll monitor and adjust together throughout your listening journey.
