Are you feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, having difficulty staying focused and reaching your full cognitive potential? We proudly take a unique approach that can help you take control of your life: the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP).

It is a cutting-edge program that has been specifically designed to help individuals manage symptoms of ADHD and promote mental wellness. It is scientifically validated, simple, and non-invasive. By utilizing specially-created sound tracks through headphones, the SSP harnesses the principles of neuroscience to activate the body's natural relaxation response, promoting focus, calm, and clarity.

 

Based on hierarchical recruitment of the ANS, the SSP trains the middle ear muscles to tune-in to cues of safety signaled by the frequencies of human voice, which stimulates the social engagement system through the neural network associated with listening. The SSP allows for the repatterning of neural networks and improved regulation of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) for lasting change. -- Regular use of the SSP has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, improve focus, and enhance overall mental wellness.
