Using heart-focused breathing techniques alongside conscious shifting of emotional and attitudinal patterns, a HeartMath practice leverages the strong connection between the heart and autonomic nervous system to rewire depleting, stressful patterns of thought.

By cultivating emotional resilience in tandem with body awareness, we are able to spend more time in a state of psychophysiological coherence - the mind and body working in harmony. This change is measurable using heart rate variability (HRV), which offers moment-to-moment feedback demonstrating the impact of emotional shifts on physical stress response.

This evidence-based strategy is harmonious with the Classical Chinese medicine view of the Heart and its state as central to whole-body health.

While biofeedback using an emWave device is not necessary to benefit from the techniques, many people find it helpful in gaining confidence and consistency when learning.

An emWave is available for client use in-office, so device purchase is not required to get started.

Given that many health conditions are initiated or worsened by stress, HeartMath can be helpful beyond mental and emotional concerns by reducing stress-related wear and tear on the body as a whole.

It has been shown to improve:

• Anxiety

• Fatigue

• Depression

• Insomnia

• Poor focus

• Many functional conditions
