Comments from employees that completed the program:
What I thought was going to be a two hour break before a difficult project turned out to be one of the most useful classes that I have ever taken. Using the HeartMath techniques, I went back and successfully completed a difficult project which normally requires a half a day in just under an hour.
Systems Engineer
I had an appointment with my doctor, the day after the class, to check my blood pressure. It was better than any previous reading taken over the last 7 years. So far, I’m seeing excellent results.
Line manager
Some see HeartMath as stress reduction. Some say it helps their family life and their productivity. Our focus was both cost and productivity. HeartMath gave our team the coherence we needed to come in under budget, on time, with productivity gains of up to 12%.
