Approach
Biofeedback
Real-time signals from your own body, used to teach the nervous system a different pattern — instead of trying to talk your way there.
What it is
Letting the body do the teaching.
Biofeedback uses live information from your body — your heart rhythm, your breath, the way your nervous system responds to sound — and reflects it back to you in a way you can actually work with. Over time, that feedback loop helps a system that's been braced for a long time start to find a steadier baseline.
HeartMath
Heart-rate coherence.
HeartMath focuses on the rhythm between your breath and your heart. Practising that rhythm, with feedback, can shift how your body handles stress and settle a nervous system that's been running hot. Read more about HeartMath →
Safe and Sound Protocol
Sound as a doorway to regulation.
The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) uses specially filtered music to cue the social engagement system — the part of the nervous system that lets us feel safe with ourselves and with other people. I'm a Certified SSP Provider. Read more about SSP →
How we use it
As support, not the whole story.
Biofeedback sits inside our ongoing therapy, not in place of it. We'd only bring it in when it's clearly a fit, and we'd pace it around what your system can actually take on.
Common questions
What people ask.
- What's the difference between biofeedback and neurofeedback?
- Neurofeedback works with brainwave activity. Biofeedback works with other body signals — like heart rhythm or the cues your nervous system takes from sound. They're related but distinct, and I offer them as separate supports.
- Which type of biofeedback is right for me?
- That's something we figure out together. HeartMath and the Safe and Sound Protocol do different things, and we'd only bring either one in when it's clearly a fit for where you are.
