    Did you know the heart sends more signals to the brain than the brain sends to the heart?

    Certified HeartMath Practitioner-provided Biofeedback services – beneficial in treating anxiety, depression, trauma and more

    What the heart signals can have a significant impact on your brain’s function, influencing your memory, emotions, perception, and problem-solving abilities. Learning the relationship between the heart and brain, and with the use of biofeedback, you can begin to modify the way your body functions, improving your overall well-being. You begin to feel more in control of your health and wellness, in a non-invasive form of therapy.

    So, what is biofeedback? It is a technique where electronic monitoring is used to help train you to control certain bodily processes that are typically happening involuntarily, such as heart rate and muscle tension. Biofeedback has proven to be beneficial in the relief of many issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, insomnia, headaches, ADHD, high blood pressure, fibromyalgia, and diabetes. There are different variations of biofeedback therapy, but it is believed the key to successful biofeedback therapy is relaxation. ‘Minds In Action Counseling’ provides an opportunity for you to relax with the use of HeartMath®.

    The HeartMath® Institute has over 25 years of research showing the connection between the heart and brain, and how one’s thoughts and behaviors are impacted by different patterns of heart activity. Nearly 12,000 individuals across 400 peer-reviewed studies have cited improvements in emotional and mental well-being after using HeartMath® training and technology. HeartMath® provides a set of tools that make positive emotional and attitudinal shifts easier in reaching coherence – harmony in both the psychological and physiological processes (mind-body).

    Individual Therapy

    Incorporating Biofeedback into individualized goals and sessions.

    Heart Rate Variability (HRV) reflects the ability to adapt effectively to stress and environmental demands.

    By using the tools and techniques, clients may gain a greater self-regulation, a new perspective and start to look for and find more coherent solutions to past ineffective thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

    This is designed for clients who will be meeting with the clinician over several sessions, to reduce the stress associated with chronic, acute, or situational conditions. In general, we recommend four or five sessions for acute conditions, and five to eight sessions for chronic conditions. After an initial 45- to 60-minute session, each subsequent session is 30 to 45 minutes. Sessions can be conducted over a few days, or once or twice a week until goals are reached.

    HeartMath™ Interventions are non-invasive techniques to help manage stress, revitalize energy, restore mental and emotional balance, and help build resiliency. Technology will display your heart rhythm, measured by Heart Rate Variability (HRV), indicating how emotional states are affecting your nervous system and how you feel. HRV offers a unique look into the quality of communication between the heart and brain, which directly impacts how you feel and perform.
