HeartMath Testimonials – People are Talking
“I recently purchased the emWave® and started using it at home and work. The emWave is making me much more aware of my stress levels and even affecting the way I choose to respond to daily stresses such as rush hour traffic, deadlines at work, domestic stresses, worries about world events, etc. It is reminding me that being centered, relaxed, in order to be healthy and at peace are far more important than all the reactions, for the sake of my health. I highly recommend the emWave to anyone who is interested in increasing awareness and control over their daily stresses.”
— Steven Reiser , Software Engineer
“I have been amazed at the difference between using emWave compared to other forms of focusing your energy or relaxation techniques. This is an easy tool to keep with you and use whenever you want the benefit of improved performance, whether it’s dealing with a stressful situation or problem solving. I have also found it helpful before you go to sleep. Thanks for helping connect our mind and heart!”
— Cathleen Nelson, President, United Healthcare Partners
“What a breakthrough, combining high-tech with high touch. I have worked in the field of stress management for decades, I wrote a book and I teach a course at a university on stress management. I am blown away about the appeal and effectiveness of the emWave® device. I have already forwarded information to our large hospital system (behavioral unit) and I will be telling my psychologists/counselor friend about this great device you developed. The coaching CD is also stellar!! I plan on using the emWave device to help clients ease their way out of every day stress (e.g., test-anxiety, etc.).”
— Dr. Ron Rubenzer, Author: How the Best Handle Stress
“emWave Personal Stress Reliever® is the greatest tool that HeartMath has ever put out. The Coherence Coach™ CD is wonderful and the device easy to use. The ear piece is also a helpful addition and the packaging is interesting and well done. Good job!”
— Michelle Cameron, RN, BSN, Manager, Nursing World Class Service, Cleveland, OH
“The emWave® Personal Stress Reliever® is great. I have used it before every speech I have done since I got it. Some days are better than others but for the most part it has brought my anxiety level down and made me focus more on the subject than my feelings about the crowd. I gave one of them to my son who has difficulties with tests at school and he gets green before his tests. It has helped him to do better with the tests and from his teacher’s perspective he seems calmer when he takes them.”
— Scott Rankin, CEO, Vulcan Spring & Mfg. Co.

— Roberta Baskin, Peabody-, DuPont-, and Emmy-award winning investigative journalist, former Executive Director, Center for Public Integrity

I have also been traveling quite a bit and it is a perfect travel companion. It’s simple and it’s science–all rolled into one device! I would highly recommend it to other nursing leaders, and in fact to anyone looking for better health and less stress.”
— Pamela B. Edwards, EdD, MSN, RN, BC, Director, Education Services, Duke University Health System
“My emWave arrived just in time. I had one of those daily commute hassles and hadn’t even opened the box yet but because it’s so intuitive, I was able to learn how to use it quickly. And, I went from highly stressed to under control in just a few minutes. emWave is the ideal technology: small, light, on-demand and delivers quick results. It’s always with me now.”
— Buddy Teaster, Chief Network Officer, YPO (Young Presidents Organization)
“I love the ease, size and sheer physical feel of emWave. It’s so easy to use and what a great way to have heart and mind come together regardless of where you happen to be–before meetings, handling the unexpected event, and just to get a clear focus on whatever you’re doing.”
— Jennie Chin Hansen, RN, MS, FAAN, Senior Fellow, University of California, Center for the Health Professions

With emWave you can effectively reduce your stress to quickly regain full use of your skills and talents. I use it as part of my final preparation for important meetings, and when working on complex creative projects. Reducing the impact of these stressful situations enables me to be more confident, more creative, and more comfortable. I actually think that emWave combined with HeartMath’s techniques, enables me to be smarter and sharper, at exactly the times I need to be.”

“In these highly stressful times, I find the emWave as my reconnection to reality! Racing through airports, coping with the daily barrage of phone calls and emails, and dealing with short-tempered people, it’s easy for me to lose control of my emotions, forget what’s important and suffer the physical side-effects of unending stress. But with my emWave I can now instantaneously monitor my level of stress and regain control of my inner self. It not only helps me calm down, but it vastly improves my performance. And what’s best is that it’s a cool little gadget that’s easy to use and fits right in my pocket. I recommend the emWave for anyone who wants to reduce stress and take charge of their emotional well-being.”
— Charles B. Inlander, President, People’s Medical Society
“emWave is more than a slick piece of technology; it’s part of a revolutionary HeartMath program that is both life-affirming and life-changing. This is a true ‘personal communicator’ that empowers us to really get to the ‘heart of the matter.’ I have used HeartMath’s Freeze-Framer–and now the emWave–not only to relieve stress in the moment, assist in decision-making under challenging circumstances, and to ‘dump all my baggage’ before going to sleep, but also as an adjunct to synchronize heart, mind, and body as part of a pre-operative preparatory program. In this era where change is the constant, and stress is either the foundation or the result of most of today’s dis-eases, having an effective tool to combat the effects of stress is critical. The cool part is that everyone that sees the emWave wants to try it; this is a great ‘teaching moment’ to promote personal responsibility for one’s health using techniques and technology that are now proven to be effective.”

“My wife, a hostess on Home Shopping Network, had a panic attack this morning. She was feeling dizzy and had shallow breathing so I put her on the emWave. Within a short period of time she was over it and it was amazing how her blood pressure went down. She was trying everything else but it didn’t work.”
— Dennis Kelly, Tarpon Springs Florida
“It is well known that the inability to manage both internal and external stress – as well as the destructive emotions that accompany it – is a leading cause of degenerative illness, depression, lost productivity, and a host of other mental and physical ailments. Just imagine a tool that you could deploy any time or place that would provide the feedback to help you determine not only how well you are managing stress, but also how to transform it. Good news: the tool now exists and it’s called the emWave Personal Stress Reliever. In addition, and just as importantly, the folks at HeartMath offer techniques that can be deployed in the moment to help ameliorate the effects of stress.”
“In my 25 year career as a healthcare program developer, including the development and operation of several hospital-based wellness centers, I have never encountered a technology with as much promise as emWave. In my opinion emWave is as important to health and well being as are proper nutrition, exercise, drug and substance control, and rest.”
— Joseph P. Smith, former Senior VP, Operations, NovaCare, Inc.,
former Senior VP, Development, Continental Medical Systems
“Awesome is the word! It’s better than we even expected. HeartMath has exceeded our expectations–again! The packaging and all is superb. It’s stunning the way it looks and works. I’d say this unit is ‘beyond star trek’.”
— Peter Storey, Sydney, Australia
“HeartMath combines leading-edge science with the wisdom of ancient healers. The Freeze-Framer® technology makes it fun and easy to practice. Now, emWave allows you to experience the stress-reducing, health-enhancing benefits of HeartMath at home, in the office, or on the road.”
— Jim Castle, President and CEO, Ohio Hospital Association
“Every individual in healthcare today has to have special wiring to be successful. However increasingly, the complexity of many professional roles and the pace and pressure of external demands provide a perfect breeding ground for stress — excessive stress, at abnormal levels that exceed most individual’s normal carrying capacity, eroding work performance and job satisfaction levels alike. With the release of HeartMath’s emWave Personal Stress Reliever, healthcare now has a small and practical tool that enables individuals to better manage whatever professional or personal situation they encounter. It’s built on the premise that a change within can dramatically impact the dynamics without, empowering the individual with increased capability to maintain balance, perspective and high performance.”
“I predict emWave will have a great future in healthcare. Its broad adoption will give a positive new charge to that special wiring present in so many health professionals. Congratulations to HeartMath for developing a tool so useful for those who give so much to helping others!”
— John C. Aird, President, ABL (Adaptive Business Leaders) of Northern California,
Past Chairman, California Hospital Association
“I have been using my emWave Personal Stress Reliever for the last 2 weeks along with reading ‘Transforming Stress’. I never realized the power I had right in my own heart. Practicing building coherence at night and before tricky meetings has sure saved a lot of stress. Friends and family are noticing too! They’ve been impressed with my new calm and clarity, especially in stressful situations”.
— M. Sherman, Transwestern Publishing
“I use the tools daily and have been for over 2 years, but recently I had to take a huge certifying exam, one that took hundreds of hours to study for, and it was only 100 multiple choice questions. (My amygdala was screaming, “Multiple choice has not been my friend in the past.”) I used the emWave (even though I have a Freeze-Framer). It was convenient to use anywhere, anytime. First of all, my concentration was deeper and more focused. I was studying 10-12 hours daily and my anxiety level was down. The amazing part was the day of the exam I was not anxious, and I had NO anxiety during the exam. I passed with flying colors. The level of my anxiety being lowered allowed me to function at a higher level.”
— Michele Lash, M.Ed., ATR, CMHC, BCIAC, StressLess (Private Practice)
“I have been using the emwave for 3 weeks. It is quick and I can see immediately what my coherence ratio is. It is easy to carry around and I can turn it on and use it anytime. It has helped me maintain a constant coherence. Everyone should own one.”
— Tammy Rogers, RN, Clinical Team Leader Duke Emergency
“Many, if not most, of my patients have physical complaints that stem, ultimately, from stress. As a holistic physician, I have a number of tools to help them, but what I find the most helpful are HeartMath’s techniques and technologies, including their emWave Personal Stress Reliever. It provides patients with a way to have more control over their own health, and has often been more helpful in lessening the harmful effects of stress than anything else I’ve tried. In addition, it’s fun and free from side effects! HeartMath is an invaluable part of my practice.”
