On My Journey to Wellness

I turned to Heartmath to learn how to deal with stress in a more effective way. My hectic life as a psychiatric nurse and single mother to three was taking its toll on my physical and emotional wellbeing. I looked into Heartmath because intuitively it made sense; take control of your autonomic system through heart based breathing and feeling, and let go of frustration and agitation. Not only did it help me, but I used it with patients and saw good results too.

Heartmath’s mission is to assist individuals to bring their physical, mental and emotional systems into alignment with the heart’s intuitive guidance. We have more information, opportunities and education than ever before but we are more stressed, anxious, depressed, reactive and over medicated than ever.

Over 20 years of research by the Institute of Heartmath on Stress and it’s affect of emotions on the body has shown that the quality of the emotions that affects how your body responds. Heartmath technology is able to measure this through the beat to beat changes in our heart rate.

The Heartmath system offers both technology and training options to help harness the power of your heart rhythms to manage emotions. Thus reducing stress, improving health, ability to focus and in turn more balanced interactions.

The Heartmath mission is: to facilitate a fundamental shift in health, well-being and consciousness.

It worked for me and I became a 1:1 provider back in 2007. I practice the tools daily. I’ve moved away from the medical model of healthcare and now focus on nutrition as a means to heal oneself and others.
