rest and restore Protocol®
As a practical application of Polyvagal Theory, this is a non-invasive listening therapy for a subconscious journey to better nervous system regulation. Developed by world-renowned researcher Dr. Stephen Porges, Polyvagal Theory focuses on what is happening in the body and the nervous system, and explains how our sense of safety, danger or life-threat can impact our behavior. Understanding Polyvagal Theory gives us a scientific framework that can be applied through physiological or subconscious therapies, to help change and improve how we feel, think and connect with others.
​
Developed by Dr. Stephen Porges and Anthony Gorry, Rest and Restore Protocol™ (RRP) is an innovative, clinical-grade listening therapy designed to help calm and restore mental and physical functioning.
RRP is informed by decades of research studying physiological rhythms in the body, including heart rate, respiration, blood pressure, and in the gut, alongside deep knowledge of advanced sound technology. This scientifically engineered acoustic signal and music support deep relaxation and optimal recovery for clients.
​
This simple but powerful protocol has demonstrated benefits for individuals with trauma, insomnia, depression.
