Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
Biofeedback
What is HRV Biofeedback?
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Biofeedback is a science-backed technique that helps individuals regulate their autonomic nervous system through breath training and real-time physiological feedback.
By training HRV, clients learn to shift their body from a state of stress and dysregulation into one of balance, recovery, and performance readiness.
When HRV Biofeedback Can Help
Anxiety, mood changes, or emotional dysregulation
Difficulty staying calm and focused under pressure — relevant for athletes, performers, and high-stress professions
Burnout or reduced recovery capacity between workouts, games, performances, or in everyday life
Ongoing chronic pain or muscle tension that hasn’t improved with traditional care
Feeling stuck in “fight or flight” mode — signs of sympathetic overactivation
Stress-related physical symptoms such as jaw clenching, headaches, or upper back/neck tightness
Heightened nervous system sensitivity
Breathing inefficiency — shallow breathing, breath holding, or poor diaphragmatic control
What to expect
Initial assessment of HRV baseline, breath patterns, and stress physiology
Real-time feedback via sensors that track heart rate, breathing, and coherence
Skill-building sessions combining breathwork, biofeedback, and nervous system education
Customized home practice to reinforce nervous system flexibility
What you’ll learn
Diaphragmatic breathing and pacing techniques
Techniques to develop awareness of your stress and recovery states
How to build flexibility between “go” and “rest” modes
Skills you can use anytime to reset your nervous system
Why it works
When your nervous system is regulated, your body moves better, your mind is more clear, and recovery becomes more efficient. HRV training enhances:
Breath quality
Mind-body awareness (interoception)
Stress recovery
Emotional and physical performance
