A new chapter in the science of human potential - "Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback"

You may have heard the term 'The Zone' or 'Flow', typically in reference to athletes and creatives often engaged in high-stakes activities and projects. But did you know this state is equally accessible to each and every one of us? Science now shows that there exists a human state that enables individual peak performance mentally, psychologically and physically, and it can be measured and monitored via the variations between our heartbeats. Put another way, it is expressed in every one of us through the electromagnetic patterns of our heartbeat.

EdSpecialists offer afterschool and school holiday training sessions to school-age participants as well as targeted therapeutic style sessions to adults using our Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Biofeedback technology and software to both monitor and affect HRV toward individual NDIS goals. We offer a range of adjunctive therapies in aid of creating a practical tool kit of 'optimizing triggers' that can be used at home and in a variety of environments. If stress or anxiety are an ongoing issue for you or someone under your care we can facilitate access to progress that is measurable. Our motto is 'Ad Astra' - 'Reach for the Stars'.

The far-reaching benefits of accessing this data are incredible and include measurable progress in the following domains:

Stress and Anxiety - understand how it is happening and how to change it at will, in any environment. These sessions can include the use of take-home technologies and adjunctive therapeutic tools of choice like games, face or hand beauty treatments, massage, ASMR, music, sound and guided breathing.

Resetting your 'baseline' - increase coping and resilience; a more intensive approach in aid of shifting chronic depleting HRV states: these sessions require a longer period of time spent in sustained optimal HRV states and are therefore by definition quite relaxing and typically a pleasurable experience. They can include the use of take-home technologies for longer data collection periods and in-house adjunctive therapeutic tools of choice like games, face or hand beauty treatments, massage, ASMR, music, sound and guided breathing.

Learning Optimization - achieving the optimal state for learning: one of the many benefits for our young people facing challenges in their learning is that we can find out what tools and strategies are 100% effective for putting them into the state of coherence (*the optimal state for learning) and provide a unique insight that will help them on the path to success in self-regulation.

Physical Health - the sports science of peak performance: a series of sessions that teach you how to optimize your psychophysiological state as quickly as possible and 'on the go'. The athletic goal of getting into what is sometimes referred to as the 'state of flow' is one of the more famous practical applications of this science.

Emotional Regulation & Challenging Behaviours - a specialized service tailored to your plan and offered by a highly experienced professional in developmental education and challenging behaviours. *Subject to availability **Testimonials are available.
