Biofeedback and Mindfulness Training
When your body and mind work in harmony, you can meet challenges with clarity and calm, and then fully recover afterward. Through biofeedback and mindfulness training, Dr. Duffy will teach you how to activate your energy and focus when needed, and how to settle and restore once the moment has passed.
Over time, this training helps your nervous system find its natural balance, supporting steadier emotions, an improved ability to decompress, and a stronger sense of mind-body connection. You’ll gain tools to help your body recover from stress and approach life’s challenges with greater confidence and flexibility.
What is Biofeedback?
Biofeedback is a mind-body practice that teaches you how to notice and influence your body’s internal signals. Small, non-invasive sensors placed on your skin measure functions like heart rate variability (HRV), breathing, muscle activity, temperature, and skin conductance. These readings are displayed in real time, showing how your body responds to thoughts, emotions, and stress.
With the guidance of Dr. Duffy, you’ll learn how to consciously regulate these responses with mindfulness training, developing improved self-awareness and control over your physical and emotional state. Most clients find that the skills gained through biofeedback become lasting tools for regulation and well-being, with only occasional refresher sessions needed.
Biofeedback sessions are most effective in-person, where advanced equipment allows for comprehensive assessment and individualized training.
In short, biofeedback:
Offers real-time feedback
As you practice techniques like slowing your breathing or relaxing your muscles, the monitor immediately reflects those changes. This instant feedback helps reinforce new patterns of calm and regulation.
Enhances self-awareness
During biofeedback, small sensors track automatic body functions such as heart rate, breathing, muscle activity, and skin response. Seeing or hearing this information in real time helps you recognize how your body responds to stress or anxiety in the moment.
Promotes self-regulation
Through guided breathing and relaxation exercises, you learn to influence your body’s stress responses more effectively. Over time, this training helps you develop greater control over physical reactions linked to anxiety, creating a sense of calm and stability.
Develops lasting coping tools
The techniques learned in biofeedback sessions can be used anytime, anywhere. These tools translate easily into daily life, helping you manage stress, anxiety, and other triggers with greater confidence and ease.
Biofeedback can help you:
Strengthen your ability to self-regulate and recover from stress
Rebuild trust in your body and restore a sense of internal steadiness
Improve focus, clarity, and problem-solving under pressure
Decrease anxiety and physical tension
Support mood stability and emotional resilience
