Our Story
HeartMath System: Connecting Heart and Mind
HeartMath was born out of a deep sense of caring for people and our planet. Founded in 1991 by Doc Childre, HeartMath has developed a system of effective, scientifically based tools and technologies to bridge the intuitive connection between heart and mind and deepen our connection with the hearts of others.
In the video below six colleagues from HeartMath USA give a beautiful glimpse of what the mission means to them. You will experience the heart of HeartMath.
The HeartMath system empowers people to self-regulate their emotions and behaviors to reduce stress, increase resilience, and unlock their natural intuitive guidance for making more effective choices. This enables people to break through to greater levels of personal balance, creativity, insight and health. Over 300 peer-reviewed or independent studies utilizing HeartMath techniques or technologies to achieve beneficial outcomes have been published.
