Heart Rate Variability

Within each of us, we have the power to lift our emotional states, increase our resilience and discern the highest choices for our mental, emotional, and physical well-being. HeartMath has discovered that our heart rhythm patterns are the best reflection of our inner state. With my practice, you can shift yourself into a state of balance and renewing feelings, such as appreciation, care, love, and compassion.

Accumulated stress is often the underlying cause of common challenges, such as anxiety, anger, depression, lack of sleep, illness, and more.

Activating coherence helps you prevent and relieve stress and anxiety while balancing mental and emotional energy — which connects you with your higher potentials.

My practice provides you with a unique combination of science-based techniques, certified technology, learning programs, and professional therapy.

If you are practicing with me, you will learn to:

• Observe your heart rhythm (HRV) which reflects your level of inner balance and your emotional state

• Use scientifically validated HeartMath techniques to guide you to a state of higher Coherence

• Confirm Real-Time Coherence feedback when you’ve made the shift

Why is HRV Important?

Scientists and physicians consider HRV to be an important indicator of health and fitness. As a marker of physiological resilience and behavioral flexibility, it reflects our ability to adapt effectively to stress and environmental demands. A simple analogy helps to illustrate this point: just as the shifting stance of a tennis player about to receive a serve may facilitate swift adaptation, in healthy individuals the heart remains similarly responsive and resilient, primed and ready to react when needed.

HRV is also a marker of biological aging. Our heart rate variability is greatest when we are young, and as we age the range of variation in our resting heart rate becomes smaller. Although the age-related decline in HRV is a natural process, having abnormally low HRV for one’s age group is associated with increased risk of future health problems and premature mortality. Low HRV is also observed in individuals with a wide range of diseases and disorders. By reducing stress-induced wear and tear on the nervous system and facilitating the body’s natural regenerative processes, regular practice of HeartMath coherence-building techniques can help restore low HRV to healthy values.
