Inner Balance Coherence Plus
Inner Balance Coherence Plus
| Price (incl. VAT): | € 275.00 |
Learn to shift into a powerful state called heart coherence. In this state, your heart and brain work together at their best. Heart coherence helps reduce stress and overwhelm and strengthens your performance. It also helps you concentrate better and think more clearly, so you can make more effective decisions.
Use HRV biofeedback training together with evidence-based techniques. For a more joyful life.
Note: Includes lifetime access to the new HeartMath app (value: €79/year), currently available in English only. The new Inner Balance Coherence Plus sensor is also compatible with the free Inner Balance app.
If you would like additional support, you can also choose the HeartMath Basics Pro. This is an accessible yet in-depth foundational online training for anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of heart coherence, the HeartMath method, and biofeedback. The HeartMath Basics Pro includes the Inner Balance Coherence Plus.
Improve your wellbeing
Learn to lift your emotional state — in any moment. By recognising and releasing pent-up stress, you feel better and stay more focused.
Built on 30 years of pioneering heart-brain research, Inner Balance™ Coherence Plus captures the pattern of your heart rhythm (HRV) and displays your coherence score in real time.
This trains you to bring your heart and brain into alignment, so you can find calm and balance whenever you need it. It improves your performance and enables clearer thinking for better decisions.
With just a few minutes of daily practice, heart coherence becomes easier and easier to access — for a more balanced, more effective life. Over time, you’ll build skills you can use in every area of your life, even without the app.
The Science Behind Inner Balance Coherence Plus
Our heart rate is constantly changing — and this creates a pattern. These patterns of varying heartbeats, known as heart rate variability (HRV), are a key indicator of our emotional wellbeing.
When we're stressed
When we're agitated (stressed, frustrated, anxious, and so on), the pattern in our heart rhythm becomes jagged and chaotic.
When we feel appreciation
When we're in balance (calm, relaxed, grateful, and so on), the pattern in our heart rhythm resembles a smooth, harmonious sine wave.
We can learn to change the pattern of our heart rhythm — and with it, our emotions and our performance.
Inner Balance Coherence Plus displays the pattern of your heart rhythm in real time as a coherence score, helping you improve your heart coherence.

How the Inner Balance Coherence Plus Sensor Works
HRV biofeedback decodes the language of your heart
Inner Balance™ Coherence Plus uses professional-grade photodetectors to capture your pulse wave 500 times per second.
This data is displayed as highly precise HRV, showing how your heart rate changes over time. HRV gives you meaningful insight into the quality of communication between your heart and brain — which directly affects your wellbeing and your performance.
Our patented algorithm calculates a real-time coherence score from your heart rate data and HRV patterns, updated every 5 seconds.
This display helps you understand which thoughts, emotions, attitudes, or techniques strengthen or weaken your heart coherence — so you can train yourself to activate this positive state on purpose.
Hours of video and audio material to help you change your life for the better.
The HeartMath app is your ideal companion — because HeartMath is about much more than measuring coherence. The app’s content — courses, guides, guided exercises — was produced with coaches and helps you change your life for the better: more energy during the day, better decisions, releasing the day’s tension, better sleep, and much more. Currently available in English only.

We recommend using the Inner Balance for 10 minutes a day for 6 weeks to reset your baseline response to stress. The Inner Balance is also designed to train you how to get into coherence without the App so that you can do this at any time during the day.
Once you have the Inner Balance™ sensor, download the Inner Balance app, pair your sensor with the app and start a session to see your real-time feedback within moments.
Coherence is a state of internal synchronization between the heart and the brain. Often, people experience coherence as a sense of inner calm and balance, an increased focus, while others experience coherence as a more composed state.
HeartMath Techniques and the Inner Balance are designed to help you shift your emotional state in the moment. You will likely feel better after your very first session. With regular practice, you will start to reset your baseline response to stress which will leave you with more energy throughout the day. You should start to see this type of impact after using the Inner Balance for 6 weeks.
No, only when you are running a live session.
No – but it helps! HeartMath Techniques are easy to learn and use. We encourage everyone to use these techniques throughout their day. The Inner Balance provides you with real-time Coherence scoring so that you can understand what Coherence feels like and learn how to become more and more coherent. The higher the score, the more coherent you are. You might want to check out The HeartMath Experience to learn the techniques.
