HRV Biofeedback Practitioner Workshop — Bay Area
📅 August 10-11, 2026📍 San Francisco, CA
A two-day hands-on workshop in heart rate variability biofeedback. Learn to use HRV monitors clinically and teach resonance frequency breathing.
About the Workshop
This two-day intensive teaches clinicians and coaches how to integrate HRV biofeedback into their practice. Participants will learn to use clinical-grade HRV monitors, identify resonance frequency breathing rates, and design personalized protocols for clients.
Day 1: Foundations
- HRV Physiology — What HRV actually measures, why it matters, and how to interpret time-domain and frequency-domain metrics (RMSSD, SDNN, LF/HF ratio)
- Resonance Frequency Assessment — How to find each client's individual optimal breathing rate (typically 4.5-7 breaths/minute)
- Hands-on Lab — Practice with Elite HRV, HeartMath, and Polar sensors. Compare consumer vs. clinical-grade measurements
- Clinical Applications — Anxiety, PTSD, chronic pain, hypertension, and athletic performance
Day 2: Advanced Protocols
- Protocol Design — Building 10-session HRV biofeedback programs for specific conditions
- Integration — Combining HRV biofeedback with therapy, coaching, and other modalities
- Research Review — Current evidence base for HRV biofeedback (Lehrer & Gevirtz, 2014)
- Case Presentations — Participants present real or hypothetical cases for group feedback
What You'll Leave With
- Ability to conduct resonance frequency assessments
- Protocol templates for anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain
- Understanding of which HRV metrics to track and which to ignore
- CE credits (12 hours, approved for psychologists and social workers)
