The Safe and Sound protocol is a well-researched, evidence-based and safe method and has helped thousands of people worldwide. Click here to download a brochure or here to get to the official SSP website.

The SSP was developed by renowned Dr. Steven Porges, based on his Polyvagal Theory.

It involves several hours of music split into short listening sessions (anything from a few minutes to half an hour) to support your vagus nerve. You get an individually-tailored listening plan that is fine-tuned to your needs as we go along.

I will share all the details and answer any questions in your complementary calls.

We'll also do an assessment before you commit to the programme to make sure that the SSP is right for you and that you do not have any contraindications.

The SSP works by gently stimulating your vagus nerve (which is a part of the autonomic nervous system) to re-attune to more inner safety and trust.

This inner safety helps your autonomic nervous system re-calibrate and shift into more harmony, which can help facilitate deep self-connection, authentic connection with others and deep inner transformation. It also helps ease many other conditions like chronic stress and anxiety.

Your vagus nerve affects many areas of your wellbeing and physical functioning.

I will explain this, and how the SSP works, to you in more detail in your complementary Connection Calls. After our first call, you will get access to an SSP Info Page with videos and brochures that you can then refer back to at any time, as you decide whether or not you would like to do this coaching package with me.

The packages take you through four phases that intricately build on each other.

Yes, the SSP can be wonderful addition to your therapy work.

It can help you access and shift deeper layers of your themes and facilitate deep transformation as you shift into more connection with your true self.

As your nervous systems works to become more regulated with the music from from the SSP and the embodiment coaching, it also starts to release what was keeping it in dysregulation. This is what you can work on in more depth with your therapist.

If you have trauma, it is very important that you do the SSP with the support of a therapist in addition to my guidance, to help you integrate the emerging feelings and themes.

That said, many changes actually happen on their own as you go along. Some, or even many, of these take place out of your awareness (because your nervous system works beneath your consciousness).

The SSP can be a very powerful tool and this is one of the reasons why it is so important to have a tailored listening plan and to do the programme with a certified provider, so that your system does not get overwhelmed.

The SSP is not a stand alone programme. It should always be seen as the beginning or middle part of an inner journey, because your nervous system still works for up to seven weeks after the end.

We can discuss this more in your complementary call. I will also be happy to talk to your therapist or refer you to a trauma therapist who is also an SSP provider, if need be.

In this particular package, embodiment coaching focuses on helping you get a felt-understanding your autonomic nervous system and how it translates into your unique experiences of life - and what you can do to help yourself regulate to feelings safety & connectedness.

Understanding more about the autonomic nervous system and how it translates into your life will help you navigate challenges from different, new perspectives that help you feel empowered and immerse more in the wisdom & energy of your whole self. You can continue to adapt what you learn and explore the the practices long after the coaching process is over.

The body plays a huge role in helping your nervous system be well-regulated (this is one of the reasons why practices such as yoga, qi-gong, breathwork, mindfulness & bodyfulness and bringing awareness to the body and somatic therapies can be so helpful).

We will zoom in on how your body speaks to you and how you can ‘speak’ to your body - and how you can harness its wisdom to support you. You’ll also learn how you can notice early on when your nervous system starts to become activated and help it find back into more regulation.

Only you can decide if the programme feels right for you. That's why you have a set of complementary Connection Calls - so that you can get to know me and to ensure you get enough spaciousness for your inner knowing to unfold.

It's important that you feel 100% yes!

One thing I do truly believe, though, is:
Supporting your autonomic nervous system can support you on any part of your journey of transformation. There are many other ways, besides this package, which you can use to help you regulate and support your nervous system. For example, doing regular body-mind awareness & mindful breathing practices.

The SSP it is not intended to be a stand-alone programme. Whatever you do, be sure to find appropriate guidance to help you work through it - it doesn't have to be with me.

Why?

While the SSP is very gentle and safe, it is important to tailor the listening process as you go along so that your nervous system does not get overwhelmed. Every nervous system is unique, like a fingerprint, so it is important to have step by step support and guidance and tweak the listening as you go along.

It's also important that you learn to navigate your unique nervous system as you go along, so that you can stay regulated, integrate what is showing up and adapt the listening pace to your needs.

As your system shifts into more safety, it will start to release the themes that it was stuck with in different ways - some you'll notice and others may happen entirely out of your awareness.
Themes that emerge may need guided support so that they can be processed, integrated and released as you continue to ground in your body and support your nervous system. You need somebody at your side who knows what to look out for.

I highly recommend you do the SSP only with certified practitioners who are willing to guide you through the process as they know what to look out for as you go along.

It’s really important that you feel 100% comfortable doing this programme (or any work with me). It is equally important that this programme is a good fit for you. That’s why I offer a set of complementary connection calls to walk you through the package and discuss all the considerations - so that we can get to know each other and see if we resonate.

Don't worry, often times its the idea of 'body wisdom' that can seem inaccessible. We will be working step by step with where you are at in easy ways. This programme is for YOU and will be tailored to you.

You will get a better idea and feel after your complementary calls.

Sessions can be scheduled Tues - Thurs between 12.00 and 6.00 pm Central European Time.

If you have a specific time need that does not work with my schedule, simply email me (smile@juliakyambi.com) to find out if your preferred option is possible - sometimes I have openings at other times.

No, the sessions themselves will not be recorded. You will get ample resources and tailored-to-you guidance in video, audio or written form based on what emerges as we go along

For this programme, it is highly advisable for you have some time flexibility around the sessions to be present with what comes up, do small tasks and practices, do your self-care consistently (for example go for nourishing walks in nature).

That said, if you are always busy, this might also be due to chronic nervous system activation (survival mode), in which case you would benefit from doing the programme, even though you have little time.

We can discuss your specific situation in your complementary call, so that you and I can feel into if it is a good for you at the moment.
