Biofeedback

 
 

Your nervous system holds the key to how you show up in life—at work, in relationships, and within yourself. If you’ve ever felt hijacked by anxiety, overwhelmed by emotion, or stuck in cycles of stress or burnout, HRV biofeedback offers a path toward nervous system mastery.

I use HRV (Heart Rate Variability) biofeedback as a science-backed, somatic tool to help you build regulation, increase resilience, and support deeper healing—especially in the context of trauma, high performance, and altered states of consciousness like psychedelics or EMDR.

What Is HRV Biofeedback?

HRV stands for Heart Rate Variability—the variation in time between heartbeats. Rather than a steady rhythm, a flexible, responsive heart rate is actually a sign of health and adaptability.

Low HRV is linked to:

  • Chronic stress

  • Anxiety

  • Trauma

  • Burnout

  • Sleep issues

  • Emotional dysregulation

Through HRV biofeedback, we use real-time data and breathing techniques to help you train your nervous system toward optimal balance.

The Science Behind It

  • HRV is a marker of your autonomic nervous system—especially the balance between sympathetic (fight/flight) and parasympathetic (rest/digest).

  • High HRV = adaptability, resilience, and recovery capacity.

  • Biofeedback using tools like EmWave by HeartMath gives you immediate insight into your stress patterns—and helps you shift them in real time.

This approach is evidence-based, used in clinical settings and elite performance coaching alike.

What HRV Biofeedback Helps With

  • Emotional regulation

  • Attuning to creativity

  • Tapping into inner wisdom

  • Chronic stress & burnout

  • Trauma recovery

  • Somatic awareness

  • Performance anxiety

  • Preparation for psychedelic therapy

  • Integration of deep emotional work (e.g. EMDR, KAP)

My Approach

As a trauma-informed psychologist, I integrate HRV biofeedback into therapy when:

  • You’re working to increase self-regulation capacity

  • We need a somatic assessment tool for nervous system resilience

  • You’re preparing for or integrating an altered state experience (like ketamine or EMDR)

  • We want a practical, measurable way to build nervous system strength over time

What a Session Looks Like

  • We use a clip-on sensor (EmWave) to gather real-time HRV data.

  • You’ll see how your nervous system responds to stress and calm.

  • Together, we practice breathwork, grounding, and thought-shifting tools to improve your HRV.

  • I help you track your progress over time—not just by numbers, but by how you feel and function.

Who It’s For

This work is ideal for:

  • Professionals & creatives seeking resilience and emotional agility

  • Those recovering from trauma or chronic stress

  • People preparing for psychedelic or EMDR work

  • Clients wanting a body-based tool for healing and performance

Ready to Strengthen Your Nervous System?

If you're ready to move from reactivity to regulation, from depletion to resilience, HRV biofeedback offers a clear path forward.
