Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback
Training to optimize heart rate variability for stress resilience
About This Treatment
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) biofeedback teaches you to control the variability in your heartbeat intervals, which reflects autonomic nervous system balance. Higher HRV indicates better stress resilience and cardiovascular health. Using real-time feedback from sensors, you learn breathing and relaxation techniques that increase HRV. This evidence-based approach improves stress management, emotional regulation, and overall health.

What to Expect
Sensors on your finger or ear monitor your heart rate. You watch real-time feedback on a screen showing your HRV. The practitioner teaches you breathing techniques (typically breathing at your resonant frequency, around 6 breaths/minute) to increase HRV. Sessions last 30-45 minutes. You practice at home with or without equipment. Benefits build over 6-12 sessions. You'll feel calmer and more centered.
