Promoting Calm and Connection Through the Safe and Sound Protocol
The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is an innovative therapy designed to support individuals in improving their emotional and physiological well-being. By using specially designed music and sound frequencies, the SSP helps to calm the nervous system, improve social engagement, and enhance emotional regulation. This approach is particularly beneficial for individuals with trauma, anxiety, sensory processing challenges, or autism spectrum disorders.
At WHR Allied Health, we offer SSP as part of a holistic therapy plan, tailored to meet each client’s specific needs. With a focus on creating a sense of safety and calm, the Safe and Sound Protocol is a powerful tool that can make a real difference in enhancing mental health and improving overall quality of life.

The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is an evidence-based therapeutic intervention that uses acoustic vagal nerve stimulation designed to:
- Reduce stress and auditory sensitivities,
- Enhance social engagement, and
- Build resilience.
SSP is grounded in Dr. Stephen Porges’ Polyvagal Theory, which explains how our nervous system processes feelings of safety, danger, or threat and how this impacts behaviour.
The SSP uses filtered acoustics to stimulate the vagus nerve, fostering a sense of safety and to help shift the nervous system into a Ventral Vagal state supporting emotional and physiological regulation.
