TESTIMONIALS
“Before I knew about HeartMath, I would tell myself to “just relax” during blood pressure readings of 156/100. After I learned a HeartMath technique from Jasmina, I used that at my next appointment during my blood pressure reading, and it was 120/72.”
- D.W., a 51 year old schoolteacher from Maine
“It is an enormous gift Jasmina helped give me. She and Heartmath were instrumental in changing my life forever for the better!”
"Over the years, I had tried the regimen of anti-depressents and psychologists, and while those might have had temporary benefit, I always seemed to slide back into my old habits of self recrimination, self-doubt, and yes, self loathing. Depression, was the inevitable result. Jasmina expertly guided me on what was a difficult path of learning and re-training myself, but one, once learned, has made significant differences every day of my life since."--Tom J., M.S. survivor
A police officer recovering from Traumatic Brain Injury:
"Using the HeartMath techniques I am able to be more attentive for longer periods of time. I have the ability to remember many more things than I had before. It has helped me through many projects I might not have been able to accomplish. My TBI has been hard to deal with but I have been able to heal in a much more calm and peaceful body than before the techniques."
A U.S. soldier after returning from Iraq:
"Thanks to HeartMath, I made it back in good spirits; it was the best weapon I had overthere, and the one I continue to use...The heart tools helped me adust to life in the States and the culture shock of coming back."
- A True North patient
Every time I had a lesson with Jasmina I have learned something surprisingly useful; her bright mind and open gentle manner have invited me to explore and learn. This program and Jasmina are a real gem in your library of alternative medicines. It is so empowering!”

HeartMath® for Health & Happiness
HeartMath techniques are simple, easy to practice and most people experience immediate benefits. These qualities make them powerful tools for transforming stressful emotions such as anger, frustration or anxiety. The techniques are designed to be used in the moment which makes them useful in a variety of situations. They were developed by founder, Doc Childre “to help people in all walks of life transform stress, manage emotions and get in touch with their heart selves so they can think more clearly, perform better and feel more balanced, energized and in control of their lives.” [1]
When you intentionally shift to a positive emotion, heart rhythms change in real-time. This shift creates a favorable cascade of neural, hormonal, and biochemical events that benefit the entire body. The effects are both immediate and long lasting. Research at the Institute of HeartMath shows that emotions are reflected in the beat-to-beat changes in the heart’s rhythms. The HeartMath technologies are designed to help you practice and increase your ability to make these real-time changes in your heart rhythms in order to positively impact your health, performance and care in relationiships.
Along with promoting overall wellness, HeartMath techniques and technologies have been shown to be used effectively for people with the following conditions: ADD/ADHD, Anger, Anxiety and Panic Disorders, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Arrhythmias, Asthma, Chronic Fatigue, Chronic Pain, Depression, Diabetes, Digestive Disorders, Hypertension, Sleep Disorders, Brain Injury Recovery and more.
“HeartMath has clearly proven that your heart is the major reactor to stress, the key to understanding harmony between body, mind, and emotions. Nothing is more critical to life and health than transforming stress into a positive influence. HeartMath provides that path to transformation.”
- C. Norman Shealy, MD, Ph.D., Founding president of the American Holistic Medical Association
