Rest and Repair Protocol

"Return to yourself through the transformative power of sound." - Unyte ILS

About Rest and Restore Protocol™

The Rest and Restore Protocol™ (RRP) is a neural exercise that complements existing treatment strategies. It is designed to entrain the neural rhythms supporting homeostatic functions associated with the dorsal vagus.

​

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.

How does Rest and Restore Protocol™ work?

RRP is not a standalone therapy; it complements existing treatment strategies for individuals working with care providers.

​

While research and development are ongoing, RRP is informed by decades of research studying physiological rhythms in the body. RRP embeds biological rhythms into unique musical themes, signaling the healing functions of the autonomic nervous system.

​

Rest and Restore Protocol™ is delivered exclusively by certified providers through digital delivery via the Unyte platform. Clients experience a dynamic, progressive program, including five hours of Sonocea® Enhanced musical themes.

​

Healing professionals and healthcare providers can integrate RRP with other healing practices and modalities to provide holistic support to their clients.

Preliminary Pilot Data for Rest and Restore Protocol™

A pilot group (n=110) was administered standardized assessments before and after listening to Rest and Restore Protocol™ (RRP). The most prominent effects were observed in measures of anxiety (GAD-7), sleep (AIS), trauma symptoms (PCL-5), and depression (PHQ-9), with the majority of clients reporting improvements on all measures.

In addition, gastrointestinal improvements with RRP were reported consistently by participants, with these findings supported by improvements in the digestive problems subscale on the Brain-Body Center Sensory Scales (BBCSS).

What Our Clients Say

TR Kelowna BC Feb 2025

I recently took part in the Rest and Restore Protocol musical intervention. It is brand new and amazing. I am now experiencing the much sought relief of PTSD symptoms that manifested in a number of ways. I was experiencing ADHD, hypervigilance, poor sleep, lethargy and inability to enjoy most days. I also experienced a life time of not feeling safe within myself and with some, not all, people. This has made relationships difficult and stressful, for me and for the other people in my world. Drudgery is the word I used to describe daily living. Waking up exhausted every morning had me on edge for yet another day of this existence. My nervous system had no ability to regulate itself, even with decades of therapies and modalities trying to find sleep, peace, and some way to feel safe.

After only 3 weeks in this musical therapy program, I am sleeping profoundly better. The vivid dreams have stopped. I fall asleep quickly, stay asleep and awake feeling rested, refreshed and happy to start my day. The life long lethargy has left and I am able to flow through the day in peace and enjoyment and the ability to meet the needs of my day without becoming stressed. Hypervigilance has calmed to a far less problematic facet of my day. ADHD symptoms have quieted to being very manageable. I am feeling much safer in myself and with others now. The very nature of the music allows the nervous system via the vagus nerve, to feel safe which allows the body return to the state of homeostasis, also known as the Rest and Repair state. I am able to rest and my body is repairing itself. My nervous system is now self regulating. I feel so well and happy. Every day is a joy to live. The Rest and Repair Protocol is simple, enjoyable and worth every penny. There is no value you can place on relaxing into peace, contentment, and  feeling this well. I highly recommend it.

The NRG Wellness Group is a wonderful provider of The Rest and Repair Protocol. I suggest anyone suffering from stress, trauma and the lingering effects of both to try this protocol to find a way to relax into living peacefully. I am so grateful for the recovery it has afforded me … a healthy happy life.
