Executive Stress
“The HeartMath program has allowed me to easily de-stress myself amidst the numerous challenges and opportunities that are part of any leader’s daily regimen. Since the HeartMath training, I find I can respond to the deluge of demands and priorities with more focus and near absence of agitation, and therefore far more readily make well-reasoned, thoughtful decisions.”
Jack Peterson, Vice President
Performance Improvement & OD Services,
Sierra Providence Hospital Network (a Tenet Hospital)
“This is a great set of leadership tools. I can now recognize and deal with stress as it comes. I find myself much more aware of when I have become angry or frustrated… I recognize and use the tools to restore balance and a more positive attitude. Another benefit of using HeartMath is I don’t wake up tired anymore. I plan better, and am able to be more direct with people.”
Sam Ruffing, MS, RN, Vice President
Methodist Health System
“Today’s global business culture is fast paced, competitive and requires long, focused hours. The HeartMath Executive training has given me essential tools for operating effectively in this climate while maintaining my performance, health and control. I have appreciated a growing ability to be calm and energized at the same time, taking things in stride while keeping the multiple priorities in perspective.”
Gunder Creager, Senior Vice President
Colliers International
“Don’t underestimate the power of HeartMath tools. Their simplicity and ease of use are compelling in today’s roller coaster world. In our online, wired lives HeartMath gives us a way to reclaim control and regain clarity about the “who, what, when, where and why” that can get lost when we move at internet speed.”
Buddy Teaster, Chief Networking Officer
Young Presidents Organization
“While I have experienced that stress management and productivity are key outputs of HeartMath training, I have also seen that continued application of your tools can have an almost immediate (& definitely long term) improved capacity for self awareness & self control. I have not encountered any other ‘workshop’ that can deliver on this.”

About the Technology
“In these highly stressful times, I find the emWave™ is my reconnection to reality! Racing through airports, coping with the daily barrage of phone calls and emails, and dealing with short-tempered people, it’s easy for me to lose control of my emotions, forget what’s important and suffer the physical side-effects of unending stress. But with my emWave I can now instantaneously monitor my level of stress and regain control of my inner self. It not only helps me calm down, but it vastly improves my performance. And what’s best is that it’s a cool little gadget that’s easy to use and fits right in my pocket. I recommend the emWave for anyone who wants to reduce stress and take charge of their emotional well-being.”
Charles B. Inlander, President
People’s Medical Society
“I have been amazed at the difference between using emWave compared to other forms of focusing your energy or relaxation techniques. This is an easy tool to keep with you and use whenever you want the benefit of improved performance, whether it’s dealing with a stressful situation or problem solving. I have also found it helpful before you go to sleep. Thanks for helping connect our mind and heart!”
Cathleen Nelson, President
United Healthcare Partners
Weight Loss
“I have dropped over 70 pounds in six months. My relationship with food is totally different. I know I will keep the weight off because I no longer eat emotionally. I am more aware of when I am hungry vs. getting an urge to eat. Cravings just don’t happen very often anymore. When they do, I can manage them. When I slip, I don’t beat myself up about it and move on. I can’t wait to teach this to clients!”
Dr. Keith Lee, Scottsdale, AZ
“It’s known that 98% of people who lose weight do not keep the weight off. I think that’s because they don’t do the psychological and emotional part of it too. For me, having HeartMath and the emWave for the psychological component has been the key to my lasting weight loss success.”

“HeartMath is different, because you not only draw on a positive experience, but with practice you can actually train your body to react the same way it did when you initially had that positive experience.”
Debbie Charlton, Director of Cardiovascular Services
Shands at AGH
Athletics
“I just had my best score yet. I just felt so good. I haven’t had that feeling in a long time. Now I can get to that state by using the techniques.” Heartmath gives you the tools to give yourself the best chance to perform and achieve what you want to achieve in this game whether you are a 20 handicapper, regular club pro or aspiring to be an elite level touring pro.”

Health
“Nearly all of my patients’ ratings of pain decrease after a session with the emWave® desktop. Essentially, it helps patients step aside from their pain.”
Michele Barr, Senior Therapeutic Recreational Specialist
North Carolina Jaycee Burn Center
University of North Carolina Hospitals
“Many, if not most, of my patients have physical complaints that stem, ultimately, from stress. What I find most helpful are HeartMath’s techniques and technologies, including their emWave2. It provides patients with a way to have more control over their own health and has often been more helpful in lessening the harmful effects of stress that anything else I’ve tried, In addition, it’s fun and free from side effects! HeartMath is an invaluable part of my practice.”
