Service added Autumn 2025:
I have now trained in these listening programmes, through Unyte, so can offer facilitated listening at home to clients –
The ‘Rest and Restore Protocol’ is a listening therapy designed to bring your body into the ‘dorsal rest’ nervous system state. This is our ‘rest and digest’ mode so can help people whose systems have difficulty moving from hypervigilance and fight/flight sympathetic nervous system activation. It also helps develop interoceptive connection.
The music tracks have been edited by sound engineers with Unyte to filter the music to create specific impact on your body’s physiology and nervous system state. Nine 30 minutes tracks are listened to progressively, leaving a day or more between listening sessions. After completion these tracks can be listened to to continually support your nervous system activation and your regulation.
Cost: €200 for one year’s access, plus session cost when required.
Subscription model available with initial charge of €100 and €50 per additional month.
If you prefer to try with subscription model and then decide to keep for the year this will be facilitated.

The ‘Safe and Sound Protocol’ is a listening therapy designed to make it easier for your body to move into the ‘ventral vagal’ nervous system state. This is the social engagement state which makes it possible for us to connect with, and gain safety from being around, others. It trains the muscles of the inner ear to filter out some sounds and focus on the frequency of human voices. This can bring relief to people with sound sensitivities. It can help people by improving their auditory sensitivity, emotional control, and ability to feel safer when engaged with others.
Choose between six different genres of music, to suit your listening preference. The music tracks have been edited by sound engineers with Unyte to filter the music to create specific impact on your body’s physiology and nervous system state. Ten 30 minutes tracks are listened to progressively, leaving a day or more between listening sessions. This is a powerful modality and often the 30 minute track needs to be split into two or three sessions, rather than completed in one.
After completion this programme can be repeated, after an initial six week break, or other more lightly filtered tracks can be listened to, to continually support your nervous system activation and your regulation.
Cost: €350 for one year’s access, plus introduction and check-in session cost when required.
Alternatively, subscription model of payment available with initial charge of €150 and €50 per additional month.
If you prefer to try with subscription model and then decide to keep for the year this will be facilitated.
Cost includes text and email support to guide you through the changes experienced while listening, developing your understanding of your nervous system reactions and the strategies that help you regulate, and feel your best.
