Using biofeedback to break through stress and limiting beliefs
HeartMath is a scientifically-validated system of tools, techniques and biofeedback technology aimed at transforming stress and training you to access the Zone of effortless performance.
I am certified to teach the techniques and sell the emWave2. The emWave is a biofeedback device that reads your pulse and shows you in real time your state of internal coherence or alignment. The feedback also shows you how well you are doing in returning your system to a state of wellbeing. (You do not need to buy the emwave to benefit from my coaching. However, if you opt for one of the HeartMath-specific programmes then you will need to buy the eMwave.)
Introduction to HeartMath
The HeartMath emWave biofeedback device
“Over the past 20 years, scientists have discovered new information about the heart that makes us realize it’s far more complex than we’d imagined. Instead of simply pumping blood, the heart directs and aligns many systems in the body so that they can function in harmony with one another. And, although the heart is in constant communication with the brain, we now know that it makes many of its own decisions.
New discoveries now reveal that within each of us there exists an organizing and central intelligence that can lift us beyond our problems and into a new experience of fulfilment even in the midst of chaos. It’s a high-speed, intuitive source of wisdom and clear perceptions, an intelligence that embraces and fosters both mental and emotional intelligence. We call it ‘heart intelligence’.
Heart intelligence is the intelligent flow of awareness and insight that we experience once the mind and emotions are brought into balance and coherence through a self-initiated process. This form of intelligence is experienced as direct, intuitive knowing that manifests in thoughts and emotions that are beneficial for ourselves and others.”

How you can experience HeartMath
The HeartMath coherence techniques are integrated into all my coaching and therapeutic work, so you will get to experience HeartMath in any session with me. However, we can also use the formal HeartMath programmes, which require you to purchase the emWave device. The device is an incredible aid to transforming stress and developing a regular self-improvement or meditation practice. It shows in real time how coherent or incoherent your system is, so you get direct feedback on your efforts and can actually see yourself moving from stress, anxiety and low coherence into high coherence and the Zone. It’s the true meeting of science and ancient meditative practices. However, it goes beyond meditation in that it use techniques that can be applied wherever you are – at work, in the car while driving, or on the sports field.
