Testimonials

for the Work of Sandy Travis

R.B. —Colonel, United States Army (Ret)

Working with Sandy is a game changer. I feel extremely blessed to have been referred to her incredible base of knowledge and kindness. The wisdom and techniques she shares and teaches have provided great value in my life and for those around me.
As a now retired senior ranking officer and leader in the Army Reserve, I’ve had the opportunity to deploy twice to a combat zone resulting in being diagnosed with PTSD by the VA. Sandy has guided me through a process to reverse my perspective and turn my “Stress” into “Growth”. I am now better trained to take on life’s challenges with ease and thrive instead of just trying to survive. She provided the winning game plan and armed me with a secret arsenal.

 

P.M. —Senior Minister, Unity Renaissance Spiritual Life Center, Chesapeake, Virginia

Sandy Travis is brilliant, inspiring, skilled and, in my view, a wonder. Her insightful coaching has changed my life. I have found in HeartMath an ideal spiritual practice for growing in consciousness and I have found in Sandy a wise guide to show me the way. I highly recommend her to anyone called to dream big and live large. Every leader needs an executive coach and Sandy has been invaluable as mine!

 

L.G. —Naval Officer, United States Navy (Ret)

When I was first introduced to Sandy, she asked me: Have you ever been “in the zone”? I quickly exclaimed:  Yes! Then, she asked: How would you like to be able to turn that on and off at will? At that moment, I knew it was in my best interest to seek coaching and mentoring from her.  It came at a point in my life when I was facing a fork in the road for which she became instrumental in facilitating my successful transition.  Thanks to the work we’ve done together and the HeartMath techniques, I am able to think through situations more clearly and make decisions with ease, while approaching upcoming challenges confidently.  Thanks to Sandy, I am equipped with the tools to shift quickly out of negatively draining mental, spiritual and emotional situations and consciously choose to shift into more positive and renewing options. Sandy also taught me to practice the art of self-compassion.  Sandy is more than a coach and mentor to me. She has become a trusted and valued friend.
Thank you Sandy! I am eternally grateful.

 

K.T. —CEO, International Not for Profit

I have worked with Sandy Travis as an Executive Coach for several years now, and for the last six months have had the opportunity to explore with her and be mentored in the HeartMath System. I have experienced noticeable results, both professionally and personally. Ultimately, my work with Sandy and HeartMath has helped me to expand my experience of what real “coherence” is about and how that coherence can facilitate multiple results including enhanced performance and problem solving and a greater sense of fulfillment and personal balance. I would highly recommend Sandy for any executive looking for a means of maintaining peak performance while enabling one’s self to find balance and joy even in the midst of personal stressors.

J.S. —Wealth Manager

Working with Sandy has been both a delight and very productive. As a seasoned, successful wealth manger with very substantial assets under management I was looking for new ways to sustain my vitality, have more fun and continue to provide an even greater level of service to my existing client base. Sandy’s customized process is allowing me to attract more clients that I really want to work with and it has evened out the ups and downs of practice management and collegial relationships.

 

I always thought I was a great listener and communicator. What I notice now is that my client’s feel deeply heard in a new way about what is really important to them and not just what makes sense financially.   This is leading to an enhanced sense of authenticity, which translates directly into a greater sense of client loyalty and trust. My own increased clarity about what they really want, not just what they are asking for, has given me the ability to help clients see and develop a wider range of options to fit their life, lifestyle and financial well being. My heightened sense of calm and peace of mind, even in a volatile market, contributes to client confidence in me personally and in the planning process itself. I highly recommend working with Sandy to take your practice to new levels of fulfillment and success.

 

P.T.H. —Real Estate Developer

As an athlete, entrepreneur and life adventurer, I am already seeing the many positive benefits of my HeartMath coaching and I have only just begun to scratch the surface.  I am truly grateful I had the opportunity to work with you.  Your unique techniques and teaching approach, blended with your genuine interest in my progress, made our sessions both very productive and very fulfilling.   You were absolutely the right coach for my style of learning and personality.  Thank you so much.

 

S.H. —Public Relations and Communications Executive

HeartMath has given me the ability to step back from problems, identify the emotions driving them and immediately address the situation in more productive ways. This shift is a result of my coaching with Sandy. She is a gentle yet persistent coach. She listens to truly understand, and rather than telling you what she thinks she guides you to your own realizations through powerful coaching questions. Sandy is passionate about her work to help others reach their highest potential in all aspects of their life. Having Sandy as a coach has truly changed my life for the better!

 

A.S.B. —International IT Program Manager

Working in the corporate world of IT Program Management, situations and expectations are dynamic, fast-paced and not always clearly defined.  Being able to remain calm and centered in the midst of highly charged situations can be a challenge, with stress and tension taking quite a toll on my ability to focus and be productive.  I originally engaged Sandy as a coach to gain some tools to reduce the stress and anxiety related to these work situations, to learn to replace my response to stress with more positive mechanisms.  To my delight, the benefits have gone far beyond influencing effectiveness in work situations, extending to personal relationships and physical wellbeing.  In 3 short months, by learning to focus and align breathing patterns to cardiovascular activity and thought processes, I have seen a marked increase in clarity of thought and performance effectiveness, as well as a consistent reduction in blood pressure and physical resilience (verified by my most recent annual health exam).  The most valuable aspect of Sandy’s training, development and coaching is her ability to tie concepts to real-life situations and tactics.  This training and coaching could not have come at a better time, as my company and I have just entered an intense transition period with a multi-national technology company.  Sandy’s input and guidance have strongly enhanced my ability to lead the negotiation and project teams to a successful resolution.

 

S.L. —Senior Human Resources Executive

I recently attended a HeartMath Resilience Advantage training program. Sandy’s facilitation skills kept the group engaged, on track, and interested in learning even more about HeartMath.  The program design, materials and class participation were first class and very effective.  The ability to see the HeartMath techniques applied and mapped real time in the computer demonstration was impressive. The application of HeartMath research and training as a method to increase productivity and reduce stress could greatly benefit both individuals and organizations and create vey positive results for interpersonal relationships and wellbeing. Thank you Sandy for bringing HeartMath to Hampton Roads!

 

A.P. —Serial Entrepreneur, Australia

Working with Sandy was an absolute privilege – learning how to become coherent, increasing my resilience capacity and understanding my personal depth are just a few benefits from the coaching experience. I’m a successful serial entrepreneur, and utilizing HeartMath tools and techniques on a regular basis has improved communication skills within our team, with demanding clients, family members, and business partners. My coaching with Sandy has also increased the creative scope of our brand.

She is patient, compassionate and has an ability to hear things I didn’t even realize I was saying to help strengthen the journey and reach my goals more precisely. Even after our coaching has completed, HeartMath is still part of my daily ritual for optimizing success – couldn’t imagine business and/or life without these techniques as they work everywhere in every situation. Thank you Sandy for opening my eyes to a better world of living! I highly recommend Sandy as a coach and HeartMath as a process.

 

E.M. —Healthcare Executive (retired) and Executive Coach

I found the mentor coaching provided by Sandy during my HeartMath training to be extremely valuable.  It has totally impacted the quality of my day, both personally and professionally. The training helped me to become much more conscious of the emotions I was feeling throughout the day.  I was able to both identify and name the emotional states where I routinely interacted on a daily basis. The extraordinary thing was that I was operating in these states unconsciously. The HeartMath tools and techniques then assisted me in becoming aware of having access to many different emotional states that I hadn’t been considering, recognizing the ability to choose a different emotion and then activating it and holding it in my consciousness. It is a wonderful experience and I highly recommend Sandy as a coach and trainer!

 

D.C. —Programmer and Consultant

I recently completed a HeartMath Resilience Advantage seminar with Sandy. The timing could not have been better, as I had several demanding personal and professional projects that were competing for my time. As I began to experience the stress associated with competing deadlines, shifting priorities and conflicting personalities, I was able to apply the techniques we explored in the seminar to clarify my thinking and decision making. I found the seminar to be extremely beneficial, and Sandy was a joy to work with. Highly recommended for those seeking to improve their coherence, resiliency and decision making processes!

 

C.G. —Entrepreneur

Sandy has been talking to me about HeartMath for probably 10 years or more. For whatever reasons, I felt that the time was never right – until now. My regret is having waited so long. I look forward to starting my day with the sessions and I’m actually willing to get up half an hour earlier every morning to do them! I am so grateful for Sandy’s assistance as a mentor and coach! With her assistance, I have found ways to incorporate HeartMath into my day in general, and to utilize it in times of actual or potential stress in both my personal and professional life. Although I probably could have figured out the basics on my own, her encouragement, advice, and strategies were invaluable and key to my success. I found that she listened without judgment, offered practical suggestions along with encouragement, and was totally there for me, supporting me every step of the way. I wholeheartedly recommend Sandy as a mentor and coach.
