Hey there!
This little ep is a tiny window into some of my Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) Journey.
I cover the main things I noticed immediately after starting the SSP - and I mention a huge realization I had one day whilst sitting at the Murray River and feeling so different in my body (in the best way).
What is the SSP?
- The SSP is a short-course you can do at home, listening to curated music, that will help you better manage stress, relax, and be calmer, by training your vagus nerve in a relaxing way.
- The SSP is a total of 5 hours of listening to specially designed music that has been filtered to change how you perceive and hear sound.
- It trains the Inner Ear to pick up on “safer” sounds, such as the human voice.
- All this means is you then have a more foundational level of Safe and Sound feeling within your nervous system and body.
- The SSP is created by Dr Steven Porges, who wrote The Polyvagal Theory - and is heavily based around Polyvagal Theory and Nervous System Balance and Healing.
- If you'd like to be guided and supported by me to complete the SSP - please get in touch and I can help you with it, or any questions you may have.
Here are some links to videos, resources, and of course - all the links on how to book in with me or chat with me regarding the SSP or my Somatic Wellness Coaching services:

Today I had the pleasure of chatting with Tessa Marnane.
Tessa is a mother of two, of Irish origin.
She worked in the care industry since she was 18, has done a variety of work with vulnerable people.
Since becoming a mother Tess's oath has changed, and her own experience with homebirth led her to the passion of supporting Women in birth - especially the postpartum period.
Living abroad without direct family support has shown Tess that women need a village along with essential care, and unconditional love.
She wants to nurture other women so they don’t feel isolated when they are most vulnerable during pregnancy and post partum.

Quote by Dr Maryanne Wolf:
“While reading, we can leave our own consciousness, and pass over into the consciousness of another person, another age, another culture.
"Passing over," a term used by the theologian John Dunne, describes the process through which reading enables us to try on, identify with, and ultimately enter for a brief time the wholly different perspective of another person's consciousness.
When we pass over into how a knight thinks, how a slave feels, how a heroine behaves, and how an evildoer can regret or deny wrongdoing, we never come back quite the same; sometimes we're inspired, sometimes saddened, but we are always enriched.
Through this exposure we learn both the commonality and the uniqueness of our own thoughts -- that we are individuals, but not alone.”
― Maryanne Wolf

Welcome back to the Podcast!
As we wave Goodbye to The Wise Body Poddy, the Body theme is never far from our hearts; so Somatic Seasons The Podcast was born as a re-naming.
Here at Somatic Seasons The Podcast We love to honor ALL of our Seasons and Cycles within our Bodies and within our Ecosystems and Environments.
You might be experiencing Seasons of Freeze, Flight, Fight, Fawn or a combination of these.
Honoring these Seasons and learning about Nervous System Dynamics changed my life and allowed for so much Healing - and a way to Thrive no matter what situation (and to experience the depths of Joy and Pleasure too, Woo!).
This New episode explains why I wanted to change the Podcast Name and Look, and gives a little taste of what's more to come on this Season.
