Heart Rate Variability (HRV) reveals imbalances in our stress response system and our recovery response system, that prevent us from recovering effectively and then that impairs our performance down the road (both cognitive and exercise performance). When your HRV is in check, this allows your body to respond more favourably to your efforts in training, nourishment, learning, reasoning, lowering feelings of anxiety or uplifting from depressive thoughts and imprinting a more positive and healthful expectation as your default emotion.  

Cardiac Coherence is an optimal state of mind/body balance - beyond mere relaxation and provides us with the ability to better regulate our stress response.  We all know by now that chronic stress has a detrimental effect on mood, the ability of your body to burn fat, athletic and cognitive performance (learning, memory, reasoning, thinking, intelligence), cardiovascular health, the health of your immune and hormonal systems.  

We all have a baseline HRV and Heart Coherence state. We become comfortable in our baseline pattern. However your baseline pattern may not be particularly healthy.

Our modern life insists that we multitask and operate in a continual high arousal state. We are comfortable with multimedia input all day long, every day. Our set point or baseline pattern for many of us is that we like that, we are comfortable with that and we actually (strangely) seek it out, even though it may be very unhealthy for us. Maybe we are feeling fatigued, maybe stressed or depressed, perhaps depleted but we love this constant buzz of a lifestyle that is superfast moving and provides distractions from deeper understanding.

This constantly challenging lifestyle can put us in a state of in-balance, that isn’t healthy for us. But we have created these set points for ourselves that can be maladaptive, leading to hormonal imbalance, lethargy, depressive thoughts, anxiousness, low libido, weight gain, agitation, helplessness and unfulfillment. Life then becomes maladaptive, not health promoting or healthful and yet our mind continually seeks this state out.

Here’s the thing … once you set that point, that point is comfortable, because it is familiar to you. But it may not be healthy. None of us are immune to this, kids, teenagers, mums, dads etc.

HRV and Heart Coherence training provides a tool (that you can see on my technology in real time) towards imprinting a more positive and healthful expectation as your default emotion. You then begin to see profound changes in your stress resilience, mood, recovery, thinking, retaining of information, relationships and health.

You can now experience the long-term benefits of whole body therapy through Infrared Heat combined with HRV and Heart Coherence sessions.

My contribution is a union of nutrition, mindfulness, meditation, breathwork & movement intertwined with behaviour change and how it impacts a life worth living.

As a health and fitness professional, I want to shift the paradigm toward one of self-love and self-care instead of an aesthetic insecurity-based industry. Let’s move away from the trail of being overweight, body shape dissatisfaction, the daily dose of pharmaceutical and social drugs, persistent envy, unhappiness, anxiety, depression, and a life full of pressure to keep up, skip steps, and rush.

Living without awareness and intention creates pressures that we are not doing, we are not moving fast enough, as bosses, workers, weekend warriors, friends, lovers, parents, siblings, or grandparents. We have to be able and willing to step outside the pull of unhealthy and unhealthful cultural norms and make the critical space to do our meaningful thinking.

The first thing I need people to take in is if they are going to work with me or read my work because for me this re-frames the core of moving through all obstacles we have around stress, rush, health, weight, etc … The very blantant truth is that living under the guise of society’s expectations - is not living.

We have been fed a narrative that stepping outside or away from norms is the wrong way to exist and this narrative furthers unhappiness, unhealthiness, pressure, and a life that is too fast to enjoy.

Wherever we are, this is life—it’s happening right now, and I’ve decided that I am not going to rush through it and I invite you to join me today …
