    "Almost all golfers get in their own way emotionally.

    HeartMath shows them exactly how different emotions affect performance, and most importantly, gives them the tools to change a destructive emotion to a productive emotion right on the spot."

    — Laird Small, Top 100 Golf Instructors in America, HeartMath Certified

    PROVEN Stress Intervention Techniques & Performance Boosters

    HeartMath® is the only scientifically-validated system of stress intervention techniques and objective biometric feedback that quantifiably—and dramatically—boosts the health and performance of individuals and organizations.

    According to the Institute of HeartMath, a research organization based in Santa Cruz, CA, different emotions trigger different heart rhythms, sending different messages back to the brain. These messages determine what your brain tells your body to do, from effective performance on one end of the spectrum to choking on the other.

    "I think the guys who are really controlling their emotions are going to win."

    — Tiger Woods, NBC Jimmy Roberts Interview

    Over 1,400 people at six global companies showed the following results were sustained six months after after taking coherence training

    60% reduction in anxiety

    45% reduction in exhaustion

    24% improvement in the ability to focus

    25% improvement in listening ability

    In today's ever-changing complex world, stress seems to be the norm. People are incurring stress on many levels, from their personal lives to their work environment, everyday.

    The HeartMath techniques are research based and scientifically proven to reduce your physiological stress response, and allow you to reset and shift into a more coherent state of mind and body. These techniques are simple and designed to be used on-the-go so you can tap into the wisdom of your heart to take the wear and tear of stress out of your life.

    What Others Have to Say...

    Our clients experience life changing moments and that's why we're here.

    It's fantastic not only for your concentration, but also for your health. I feel confident and calm. It's all thanks to HeartMath.

    Nick Dougherty • European Tour Player Winner, 2007

    I used HeartMath before performing each routine. It helped me feel calmer and more relaxed. I'm sleeping better and have more energy in the gym.

    Ross Brewer • Gymnast, 2x Commonwealth Champion

    As an entrepreneur and business builder since 1989 I have been fortunate as a majority shareholder to have been able to fund and assemble different teams to grow and sell two divisions of the company, Next Proteins Inc. These businesses were in the health and wellness space, particularly whey protein-based nutritional products. Additionally. Next Proteins has invented, developed, and funded 6 US and International Patents for carbonated protein drinks in 38 countries worldwide.


    During the period from early 2008 until December 2012, Stefanie worked with me as my only Executive Coach. During this time, I sold one of the company divisions to a group of successfully private equity investors. Stefanie and I would talk or sometimes meet for an hour each week, 44 years a year. Her coaching skills and advice on both a professional and life decision-making basis proved invaluable. So much so that the mark of a great coach is that the student eventually is able to operate using the baked-in skill sets to be able to function autonomously. This I do today.


    My time from 2008-2012 with Stefanie was an anchor in my life each week for those years. Our Friday 9am call time was when I knew I would be able to crystalize answers to unresolved issues I was facing at work and sometimes in life. Stefanie's counsel, questioning, insights, patience, and demeanor were instrumental in my significant personal and professional growth for me. In fact, she started working with me originally because I was behaving in what could have become a terminally destructive manner with my team.


    Her work with me resulted in a 180-degree change in some of my dysfunctional beliefs, values, and expectations. The result was a fun, relaxed workplace that produced results while I was increasingly less stressed by my role and interactions in the office. The end result for me and Next Proteins was we were able to successfully sell again and have 90% of the team stay there. I would not hesitate to re-engage Stefanie again if I felt I needed a realignment or a check-in. Furthermore, I would highly recommend Stefanie for any position or consultancy she applied for.

    David Jenkins • President & CEO, Next Proteins Inc.

    The Butterfly Project has worked with Stefanie since 2012. She has a heart for social justice, art and education, which are the founding principles of The Butterfly Project's mission.


    Stefanie was instrumental in helping us take a failing business model of operating from scarcity and low-hanging fruit to one of vision, including a strategy for reaching to larger organizations to drive our mission to completion.


    She effectively guided our infrastructure team to support the growing demands.

    Stefanie is a passionate, highly principled advisor and has helped us to clarify our mission and best practices, as well as guidance with written presentations, the case for funding documents, and focus group support with our marketing materials, including documentary films and educational lessons.


    I highly recommend her to those looking to improve the culture, morale, and efficiency of their teams and organizations.

    Cheryl Rattner Price • Executive Director & Founder, The Butterfly Project

    I so look forward to my weekly call with Stefanie, as she is the touchstone that helps me keep things moving forward.


    Stefanie is insightful and has helped me understand and overcome some blocks I was facing through her encouraging, uplifting style of coaching. I can't recommend Stefanie highly enough.

    Jeff Chean • Co-Founder & Chief Coffee Guy, Groundwork Coffee Co.

    I have known Stefanie for a number of years. Initially, while overseeing the work-life balance programs for Qualcomm, Stefanie and her partner were brought in for some training for our engineers. The content was on-point and engaging, even though we ended up going in a different direction.


    Since then, I have had the pleasure of interacting with Stefanie from a coaching perspective and find her to be thoughtful, caring, and, most importantly, extremely insightful. She listens attentively and offers guidance, and suggests action that really does move the needle in a positive direction.


    She has a keen understanding of the engineer's mindset and works well in a technology-oriented culture. I highly recommend her for coaching!

    Frequently Asked Questions About Coherence Coaching

      Compare Coherence Coaching vs. Executive Coaching

      A: Coherence Coaching trains your state and puts you into alignment. You build the skill to shift into calm, clear, heart–brain alignment on demand—using heart-based breath pacing, attention, and genuine emotion. It’s practical and measurable (think HRV/coherence), and it gives you a repeatable way to steady your nervous system, sharpen focus, make better decisions, and recover quickly under pressure.

      Executive Coaching focuses on outcomes—clarifying vision, leading people, making decisions, and executing strategy. You work with goals, feedback, communication, influence, and accountability.

      In short: Coherence Coaching gets you aligned, focused, and clear; Executive Coaching gets you effective and efficient. Used together, coherence multiplies the impact of executive work. You reset first (2 minutes to get in coherence), then you lead the meeting, negotiate the issue, or make the call with greater clarity, presence, judgment, and follow-through.

      Learn more at coherenceleadershipcoaching.com

      What are the key benefits in Coherence Leadership Programs?

      A: Coherence Leadership Programs build the capacity to shift your emotional and physiological states on demand—steady heart, clear head—so leaders make better decisions under pressure, feel better, and recover faster. You get less reactivity and more composure, empathy, and psychological safety, which upgrades communication, trust, and accountability.

      Practical coherence breathing and attention skills, paired with simple biofeedback, make progress measurable and coachable (better HRV, focus, and energy). The payoff is sharper judgment, elevated communication, calmer meetings, fewer escalations, and a resilient culture that sustains performance without burnout.

      Share three coherence training protocols for stress reduction

      A: Here are three simple coherence protocols I recommend for stress reduction:

      1. Two-Minute Heart Reset: hand on chest, breathe in and out of your nose for 5–6 seconds each, imagine the breath moving through the heart, and bring up a genuine feeling of appreciation; use smooth, circular breaths.

      2. Drain–Shift–Sustain: notice the “energy leak” and name it; shift with heart-focused breathing and a real, renewing feeling for about two minutes; sustain by choosing one next best action and a value word (e.g., “steady”).

      3. Coherence Bookends: before a difficult moment, take 2 minutes to set your breath and the tone you want to lead with; after, take three slow breaths, release any residue, and jot one line on what worked and what you’ll adjust.

      Practice these at transitions (before calls, before important meetings, after emails, between tasks). Aim for 3–5 practice reps a day. You’ll see improved communication, fewer spikes, faster recovery, steadier tone—and if you track HRV, you’ll notice smoother, more coherent patterns over time. Learn more at coherenceleadershipcoaching.com

      How does Coherence Coaching benefit or apply to golf performance?

      A: Coherence Coaching helps you center and steady your emotional system on demand—steady heart, clear head—so your swing tempo, touch, and decisions get consistent.

      Build a pre-shot reset: one or two slow, deep coherence breaths (about 5 in, 5 out), soften your grip and shoulders, feel a genuine calm/appreciation in the heart, then commit to a simple target. That lowers tension, smooths tempo, and sharpens distance control—especially on wedges and putts.

      When pressure spikes or a shot goes sideways, you don’t react so negatively, and you recover faster. Use coherence breathing as a between-shots reset: walk, breathe deeply, soft eyes, and a cue word like “smooth” or “strong.” Park your swing, choose the next best shot, and commit.

      Over 18 holes you’ll feel more present, make fewer mental errors, manage the course better, finish with more energy, and enjoy the game far more—without grinding. Learn more at coherence.golf
