Taryn the OT
Helping overwhelmed nervous systems
feel safe, regulated, and resilient again.
Personalized online support using Safe and Sound Protocol, Rest and Restore Protocol, and Intgrated Listening System for children, teens, and adults seeking calmer, more connected nervous system function.

How I Help
Emotional Regulation & Sensory Support
Support for children and adults experiencing sensory overwhelm, shutdowns, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, and difficulty feeling calm or connected.
Stress & Burnout Recovery
Nervous system-focused support for chronic stress, burnout, exhaustion, hypervigilance, and difficulty recovering from overwhelm.
Neurodivergent Nervous System Support
Compassionate support for autistic individuals, ADHDers, and sensory-sensitive individuals seeking greater regulation and resilience.
Listening-Based Nervous System Programs
Personalized support using Safe and Sound Protocol, Rest and Restore Protocol, and Integrated Listening System to help support nervous system regulation, auditory processing, emotional regulation, and overall well-being.
Magic Behind the Music
I offer personalized support using the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), Rest & Restore Protocol (RRP), and Integrated Listening System (ILS) — listening-based programs designed to support nervous system regulation, sensory processing, emotional regulation, and resilience.
These programs use specially designed music and sound frequencies to gently support the brain and nervous system through listening experiences tailored to your unique needs.
Many individuals use these programs to support challenges related to:
-
sensory overwhelm
-
stress and burnout
-
emotional dysregulation
-
shutdown and hypervigilance
-
attention and focus
-
nervous system recovery
-
social connection and feelings of safety
Every nervous system is different, and support is individualized with guidance and pacing that feels safe and supportive.

Rest and Restore Protocol
A calming listening program designed to support rest, recovery, and regulation during periods of stress, burnout, or overwhelm.

Safe and Sound Protocol
A listening program designed to support nervous system regulation, emotional connection, and feelings of safety through specially filtered music.

Integrated Listening System
A multi-sensory listening program designed to support brain function, sensory processing, attention, movement, and regulation.

Who I am
I began practicing as an Occupational Therapist in 2018, specializing in child neurodevelopment using non-traditional OT interventions such as hippotherapy, equine assisted occupational therapy, outdoor activities, and brain based solutions.
A dear friend and mentor of mine introduced me to brain based interventions to find the root cause of why we present the way we do. Curiosity led me to use Dr. Stephen Porges' Polyvagal Theory, and Dr. Minson's Integrated Listening System as a foundation for my practice.
I have worked to support children, family, and friends to discover their nervous system and improve their health and wellness!
My Approach
The nervous system and movement has always been a focus and fascination for me! A dear friend and mentor of mine introduced me to the importance nervous system regulation through the Polyvagal Theory. As part of my learning and exploration, I became a certified provider in the Safe and Sound Protocol, a unique listening program designed to nurture and re-tune the autonomic nervous system through the vagus nerve.
Having grown up in the outdoors, and in a barn surrounded by animals, I valued the importance of movement, life fulfilling daily activities, and co-regulation through humans and animals. Later as an OT did I understand the importance movement and foundational regulation has on the brain for development of neuro-pathways, building life skills, resiliency, learning, and connecting with others.
My life experiences and fascination for the body to grow and heal come rooted in my practice. My OT approach consists of brain based interventions for nervous system regulation. I am available for remote neuro-regulation services, in addition to in-person and remote OT services in Idaho and Washington State.
