Anxiety, Stress & HRV Biofeedback in Moncton
Anxiety can feel like a mind problem, but it is also a body pattern. Racing thoughts, tight breathing, stomach changes, jaw tension, poor sleep, and feeling constantly on alert are often signs that the nervous system has learned to stay braced.
Andrew Maillet offers clinical hypnotherapy and HeartMath HRV Biofeedback at Naturology Centre in Moncton for people who want practical support with anxiety, stress, panic patterns, health anxiety, performance pressure, and nervous-system regulation.
When this approach may be helpful
- You feel tense, wired, overwhelmed, or unable to settle
- You experience panic sensations or fear of symptoms returning
- You overthink, scan your body, or worry about your health
- Stress affects sleep, digestion, jaw tension, or confidence
- You want measurable self-regulation practice through HRV Biofeedback
Clinical hypnotherapy for anxiety and stress
Hypnotherapy uses focused attention and guided therapeutic imagery to help you practise new responses to stress, fear, and body sensations. It is collaborative and practical. You remain aware and in control.
For anxiety, hypnotherapy may focus on calming threat responses, changing anticipatory fear, reducing avoidance patterns, and helping the body rehearse a steadier response before stressful situations.
HeartMath HRV Biofeedback
HeartMath HRV Biofeedback can make self-regulation more concrete. During training, you practise breathing and attention skills while seeing how your heart rhythm responds. This feedback can help you learn what actually helps your body shift state.
HRV Biofeedback may be especially useful when anxiety feels physical, when performance pressure is high, or when you want a skill you can practise between appointments.
Nervous-system regulation
The aim is not to eliminate all stress. The aim is to build flexibility: the ability to notice activation, reduce unnecessary bracing, and recover more effectively. Sessions may include education, hypnosis, HRV practice, breathing strategies, and habit changes that fit your real life.
What to expect
Your first appointment includes a focused discussion of symptoms, triggers, goals, health history, and what you have already tried. Andrew will then suggest an approach that may include hypnotherapy, HRV Biofeedback, simple self-regulation practice, or additional natural mental health support.
Appointments are at 7 Alma St, Moncton, NB E1C 4Y2. If symptoms are severe, urgent, or involve risk of harm, contact emergency or crisis services right away.

Frequently asked questions
Is HRV Biofeedback the same as meditation?
No. It may feel calm and meditative, but the key difference is feedback. You can see how your body responds while practising regulation skills.
Can hypnotherapy help panic?
It may help some people change their relationship to panic sensations and reduce anticipatory fear. It should be part of an appropriate care plan, especially when symptoms are intense or new.
Do I need to be good at relaxing?
No. Many people book because relaxing is difficult. The process starts where you are.
