Rest & Nourish:
A Nervous System Reset
A 5-week somatic relaxation series to soothe your nervous system, soften your stress, and reconnect with your inner calm, so you can come home to your Self.
Based on the Rest & Restore Protocol by Stephen Porges and Unyte
Led by Dr. Clair Burley, Clinical Psychologist
You’ve been holding so much, for so long.
You keep going, even when it’s hard. But deep down, something’s quietly calling out:
“I’m tired. I need to properly and deeply rest. I need time to just be.”
You may look calm on the outside, but inside…
Your mind rarely slows down, running through all the things you have to do
You’re on edge, bracing for something to drop
Your body feels tense, achy, or exhausted
Rest doesn’t come easily – even when you long for it
You’re overextended and often overwhelmed – wondering how far away you are from
burnout
You might have tried mindfulness, movement, or the odd sound bath — and they help — but you’re tired in a way that this doesn’t fix. It’s not at the depth your body needs.
Because true rest doesn’t just happen on the one night you get good sleep or the one day you’re finally able to go to the spa. It happens deep in the body.
And your body is asking to be heard. What if the missing piece isn’t in your circumstances – but in your nervous system?
Welcome to Rest & Nourish: A Nervous System Reset
A 5-week live, trauma-informed somatic journey designed to bring your nervous system into deep regulation and rest. To help you soften stress, feel held, and restore your inner sense of safety.
This is a space where you don’t have to do anything, think about anything, fix anything, or figure anything out.
You just get to be — and let your body soften, shift, and heal in its own time.
Rooted in the Rest & Restore Protocol by Dr. Stephen Porges, this programme blends soothing music, safe sensory cues, and stillness to support your nervous system in releasing chronic activation and returning to calm. It invites your body out of survival mode and into safety, connection, and ease.
The Science Behind Rest & Restore
This programme is grounded in the Rest & Restore Protocol, developed by neuroscientist Dr. Stephen Porges, creator of Polyvagal Theory. His research revealed that the vagus nerve – the key communicator between brain and body – plays a central role in how we experience safety, calm, and connection. When our nervous system is in a constant state of survival (fight, flight, or freeze), true rest becomes impossible.
This method is the ultimate somatic biohack – using scientifically engineered music (to match the physiological rhythms in the body, including heart rate, respiration, blood pressure, and the gut) to engage the ‘rest’ branch of the vagus nerve, helping the body shift out of chronic stress states into what Porges calls “ventral vagal” – the biological state of safety, presence, and restoration – encouraging deep relaxation and optimal recovery.
By fostering coherence and harmony within these neural pathways, RRP helps you feel more at ease, improve mental and physical wellbeing, promote relaxation, restore balance, and support overall vitality. This is not just a self care break – it’s a nervous system reset.

What Rest & Nourish Can Help You With
This method is the ultimate somatic biohack – using scientifically engineered music shows that the most prominent effects of listening to RRP were observed in improved measures of anxiety, sleep, trauma symptoms, depression, and gastrointestinal improvements, with the majority of clients reporting improvements on all measures. RRP empowers you to tap into your body’s natural resilience and unlock the healing potential within.
Participants find RRP helps to:
Be more accessible than therapy
Enhance autonomic regulation
Improve gut function
Feel more relaxed, calm, and at ease
Sleep better

What’s Included:
4 x 90-Minute Somatic Group Sessions
(Live via Zoom)
Each session guides you through a Polyvagal-informed sound and somatic practice, supporting your body into deeper rest and regulation. You don’t need to do anything – just come, listen and relax.
Held in a Small, Supportive Group
You’ll be part of a warm and compassionate circle, with space for sharing and reflection if you wish. But no pressure. This is about your restoration.

Testimonials
Hear What Past Participants Had To Say
There was something so gentle about this process — I didn’t even realise how much tension
I was holding until it started to melt away. It felt like coming home to myself.
I didn’t realise how much I needed this kind of space until I was in it. The group felt so safe
and supportive, which was really lovely made it easier to relax.
RRP became the only time in my week that was truly mine, and I started to cherish it as an
easy and genuinely lovely part of my routine. It felt like a very welcome moment of peace and
calm in the chaos of life. I didn’t expect to feel the effects so strongly, but I noticed I was more
grounded and even slept better afterwards.
My shoulders have been up around my ears for as long as I can remember. But after using
RRP I noticed they were less tense and more relaxed, like my body was finally finding a way
to stop bracing.

Q&A
I don’t know if I have time for this.
This isn’t another task — it’s a space to come home to yourself. Rest & Nourish is designed to give back time and energy by helping your body come out of chronic stress states. You’ll feel the shift in your sleep, focus, and emotional capacity — not just during sessions, but between them.
I should be able to fix this on my own – or I could play relaxing music on Spotify.
This programme honours your strength — that’s how you learned to survive. At the same time, most of us didn’t learn how to truly rest, or how to help our body when it gets stuck in activation or depletion (or both!). This is an invitation to be guided, to sit back and relax and let the listening therapy do the heavy lifting. It’s different to music on YouTube or Spotify – Rest and Restore Protocol (RRP) is a new, scientifically engineered listening therapy, backed by decades of research studying physiological rhythms in the body, including heart rate, respiration, blood pressure and digestion, alongside deep knowledge of advanced sound technology. Using biological rhythms embedded in unique musical themes, RRP provides a tool to signal the healing functions of the autonomic nervous system to gently move into biobehavioral states of calmness and relaxation. It’s the ultimate biohack!
I’ve already tried yoga/breathwork/meditation etc.
— what makes this different?
Rest & Nourish is a guided nervous system re-patterning process using sound and somatic attunement.
This does not depend on your mindset, your physical abilities, or to even leave your house. It works with your body, without you having to do anything but listen — and with the support of a trauma-informed group.
I don’t feel ‘bad enough’ to need this.
This isn’t about crisis intervention — it’s about nervous system recovery and maintenance. If you feel tired, wired, or disconnected, this space is for you. You don’t have to wait until you completely burn out to let your body restore.
I can’t justify spending money on myself right now.
When your nervous system is nourished, everything else becomes easier — your relationships, work, sleep, digestion, and mood. This isn’t selfish — it’s sustainable care. Something you, and your body, deserve.
What if I can’t attend the live sessions?
You will still have access to the Rest & Restore Protocol – which is the most important piece. Even if you only attended one or two Zoom sessions, it’s your independent listening of RRP (and learning to tune into your body) that will be key. Take it at a pace that feels right for you — and you can reach out in-between if support is needed.
