Neurofeedback

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Biofeedback

Train Your Body to Relax, Regulate, and Recover

HRV Biofeedback is a gentle, science-based mind-body training that helps you learn how to calm your nervous system by syncing your breathing and heart rate. With real-time feedback and guided breathing, you’ll develop skills that allow you to release tension, lower stress, and improve your ability to respond to challenges with ease and resilience.

Helps with:

  • Stress
  • Anxiety
  • Elevated Heart Rate
  • Headaches
  • Chronic Pain
  • Insomnia
  • Nervous System Imbalance
  • Mood Regulation
  • PTSD
  • Burnout

HRV is ideal for those dealing with:

  • NAnxiety or panic
  • NChronic stress or burnout
  • NMuscle tension, migraines, or pain
  • NEmotional overwhelm or fatigue
  • NSleep issues or poor recovery from stress

What Is Heart Rate Variability (HRV)?

Heart Rate Variability refers to the natural changes in time between each heartbeat. A healthy nervous system shows flexible, adaptable heart rate patterns—not perfectly steady rhythms. The higher and more responsive your HRV, the better your body can shift between stress and relaxation.

Low HRV is often linked to:

Anxiety and worry

Chronic pain and muscle tension

Poor stress recovery

Mood disorders and sleep problems

HRV training helps restore balance and flexibility to your nervous system, increasing your ability to manage emotional and physical stress.

How HRV Biofeedback Works

  1. A small sensor is placed on your finger to track your heart rate, temperature, and breathing.
  2. This information is shown in real time on a computer screen using calming visuals and sound.
  3. With guidance, you’ll practice slow, intentional breathing to bring your heart and breath into alignment.
  4. As your HRV improves, you’ll notice a greater sense of calm, clarity, and internal control—both during sessions and in daily life.

Each session lasts about 20–30 minutes and is simple, relaxing, and enjoyable. You’ll leave feeling grounded, calm, and more connected to your body

Why It Works

HRV training activates your parasympathetic nervous system—the part of your body responsible for rest, digestion, healing, and recovery. With regular training, you may experience:

  • NLower heart rate and blood pressure
  • NFewer headaches or pain flare-ups
  • N Improved sleep and digestion
  • NGreater emotional stability and focus
  • NFaster recovery after stress or conflict

Research shows that HRV biofeedback can reduce symptoms of anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, depression, and chronic pain, and even lower the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Combine HRV with Neurofeedback

HRV training can be used:

On its own as a powerful relaxation and regulation tool

Before neurofeedback sessions to increase calm, oxygenate the brain, and enhance learning speed and outcomes

Just 10–15 minutes of HRV before neurofeedback can significantly deepen the brain’s receptivity to training and improve long term results.
