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.
