About the HeartMath Group USA.

HeartMath USA is the originator of the HeartMath technologies and methodologies. Founded in 1991 as a non-profit research organisation (HeartMath Research Centre, IHM, www.heartmath.org), the HeartMath organisations have earned global recognition for their unique research-based techniques and proprietary technology to transform the stress of change and uncertainty, and bring coherence and renewed energy to the workplace, the healthcare centre and the home.

The Institute of HeartMath USA is a nonprofit 501 (c) (3) research and education organisation. Their primary mission is to facilitate people in finding the balance between mind and heart in life's decisions. Through many years of research, IHM has developed what is now known as the HeartMath System: a set of practical techniques and technologies to help people transmute stress and negative emotions in the moment they occur during the day, and to improve performance and enrich the quality of life.

By 1997 their corporate solutions had gained increasing success and impact, and they founded HeartMath LLC. Their easy-to-use solutions dramatically--and quantifiably--boost performance and health for both the individual and the organisation. HeartMath programs have now been used by more than 100,000 executives, managers, staff, physicians, educators, health professionals, athletes, as well as individuals dedicated to improving their performance, health and well-being.

The HeartMath Training and consulting company HeartMath LLC today provides a range of unique services, products, and technology to boost performance, productivity, health and well-being while dramatically reducing stress.

And through the Non-profit Institute HeartMath today are working with schools and the education sector developing resource material for educators, and students in primary, secondary and tertiary schools, colleges & institutions. They have received additional funding ( more than Aud$2M) from the US government to take their programs to a wide group of school counties looking at ways to improve student learning outcomes, as well as teacher and student retention.

Additional Background Information From HeartMath LLC.

More than a decade of research, published in a variety of peer-reviewed journals, confirms a single, fundamental premise: Unleashing the full power of an organisation starts with empowering the individual. When we're internally self-managed – feeling balanced, in control, and powerful--we make our greatest contribution. We act, not react. We think creatively. We communicate clearly. We manage well under pressure. We make good decisions. Our most inspiring leadership qualities emerge. When dozens, hundreds, thousands, of employees work to that zone of peak performance, so does the organisation.

HeartMath clinical studies have dramatically demonstrated the critical link between emotion, heart function and cognitive performance. HeartMath case studies have proven significant business outcomes with measurable improvements in leadership performance, sales effectiveness, customer service, staff retention, cost reductions, health, and overall performance.

Additionally, HeartMath has been internationally recognized for providing leading-edge products and programs for people interested in personal development and improved emotional, mental and physical health. Through our programs and products delivered by our staff and through our network of alliance partners and licensees, we are having a global impact on society, helping the world move from chaos to coherence.
