Heart Rate Variability Training

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Training is a cutting-edge biofeedback technique that measures the time intervals between heartbeats to help you understand and improve your nervous system's ability to handle stress and recover. Using real-time feedback, this technology teaches you to consciously influence your heart rhythm patterns to achieve better emotional regulation and resilience.

How does it work?

HRV Training measures the subtle variations between your heartbeats, which reflect the balance between your sympathetic (fight/flight) and parasympathetic (rest/digest) nervous systems.

Through guided breathing exercises and visual feedback, you learn to increase your heart rate variability, indicating better nervous system flexibility.

Higher variability is associated with improved stress management and emotional regulation. As you practice, you develop the ability to shift into a more balanced, recovery-oriented state on demand.

Backed by science

Research has demonstrated strong links between HRV and overall health. Studies published in Frontiers in Psychology and the Journal of Clinical Medicine have shown that individuals with higher HRV demonstrate better stress resilience, improved emotional regulation, and enhanced cognitive performance.

Clinical research has also found that HRV training can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms while improving sleep quality and cardiovascular health.

Applications of HRV Training

HRV Training has shown promise in:

  • Reducing stress and anxiety
  • Improving emotional regulation and resilience
  • Enhancing sleep quality
  • Supporting cardiovascular health
  • Boosting athletic performance and recovery
  • Managing chronic pain
  • Improving focus and cognitive function
  • Supporting meditation and mindfulness practices

Integration with other modalities

Heart Rate Variability Training is most effective when combined with other approaches to nervous system regulation. We integrate neurofeedback with various other modalities to create a comprehensive approach to mental and physical wellbeing.
