Biofeedback: Master Your Body's Natural Rhythms

Learn to harness your body's own feedback systems for improved emotional regulation and stress management.

Biofeedback is a scientifically backed technique that teaches you to control physiological processes that are normally involuntary, such as heart rate, breathing patterns, and muscle tension.

By providing real-time feedback about these bodily functions, biofeedback empowers you to develop greater self-awareness and self-regulation skills that can significantly improve your mental and physical well-being.

THE TESS APPROACH TO BIOFEEDBACK

At TESS, our biofeedback services focus primarily on heart rate variability (HRV) training combined with paced breathing techniques.

This approach is particularly effective for individuals who have experienced trauma, as it helps regulate the nervous system and builds resilience from the ground up.

Our trained practitioners use state-of-the-art biofeedback equipment to help you visualize your heart rate patterns in real-time. Through guided breathing exercises and mindfulness techniques, you'll learn to achieve coherent heart rhythm patterns that promote optimal nervous system functioning.

We understand that trauma can dysregulate the autonomic nervous system, leading to symptoms like anxiety, hypervigilance, and emotional reactivity. Our biofeedback approach is trauma-informed, focusing on building safety and self-efficacy while teaching practical skills for nervous system regulation.

Sessions are tailored to your individual needs and comfort level. We teach you techniques that you can practice independently, giving you portable tools for managing stress, improving focus, and enhancing emotional control in your daily life. Our goal is to help you develop a deeper understanding of your body's signals and responses, empowering you to make positive changes that support your overall wellness.
