HRV and peripheral biofeedback
Clinical health and performance psychologist
Your people are not underperforming. Their nervous systems are overloaded.
I measure the human stress response, then build the training that changes it. For Fortune 100 executives, professional teams, and the companies building the technology that reads them.

The argument
Most performance advice guesses. This does not.
HRV is not a score to chase. It is a readout of how much capacity a person has left.
Every organization already knows who is struggling. What it does not have is a way to see it early, measure it honestly, or do anything about it that survives contact with a real schedule.
Heart rate variability, breathing, and peripheral physiology give you that view. Not as a wellness score in an app nobody opens, but as a working readout of load and recovery that a coaching staff or a leadership team can actually act on.
I have spent a decade turning that readout into protocols that hold up under a playoff schedule, a trading floor, and a product roadmap. Work starts with measurement, because opinion is expensive and data is not.
Three ways to work together
Measurement first. Then the protocol. Then the people.
Primary engagement
Organizational consulting
Stress physiology programs for teams, front offices, and executive groups. Built around your season, your calendar, and the people who actually have to run it.
- Baseline assessment across the group
- Protocol design and biofeedback training
- Staff education so it outlives the engagement
- Ongoing review against real outcomes
For companies
Scientific advisory
For health technology companies building wearables, biofeedback, and recovery products. What the sensor can honestly claim, what the algorithm should say, and where the literature actually stands.
- Claims review and scientific positioning
- Algorithm and metric validation input
- Study design and research partnership
- Board and investor level scientific voice
For stages
Keynotes and workshops
The stress response explained without the mysticism, for audiences who have already sat through the usual resilience talk and want the physiology underneath it.
- Conference keynotes
- Medical and clinical audiences
- Leadership and executive offsites
- Hands on biofeedback workshops

Selected media
Two hundred conversations and counting.
Speaking
Talks that leave an audience with a method, not a mood.
The stress response, measured
What HRV actually is, what it is not, and why most of what an audience has heard about it is wrong.
Capacity, not pressure
Why high performers break in predictable ways, and what the physiology shows before the performance does.
Recovery that survives a season
Building protocols for people whose schedules will not bend, from playoff runs to product launches.
Wearables and what they can honestly claim
A scientist's read on the consumer sensor market, for audiences buying it or building it.

Every engagement starts with the same question, so you may as well answer it first. The more specific you are about the group and the problem, the more useful my first reply will be.
