Managing Anxiety and Stress with taVNS and Biofeedback

By Dr. Sotirios Douklias • Published 2025-02-12

Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) gently activates the parasympathetic nervous system—the body’s built‑in recovery mode. Using a small ear electrode, taVNS sends comfortable micro‑pulses that help regulate heart rate variability and reduce the physiological intensity of stress.

Biofeedback complements taVNS by making your inner state visible. With sensors that track breathing, heart rate, and muscle tension, you learn to shift your physiology into a calmer pattern on demand. Over time, this skill translates into better sleep, steadier mood, and clearer thinking under pressure.

Our protocols pair taVNS with breathing exercises, mindfulness, and lifestyle guidance. Clients describe feeling “more in control” within a few sessions, building resilience that lasts. Sessions are non‑invasive and tailored to your sensitivity and goals.

Ready to feel calmer? Book a consultation to see whether taVNS and biofeedback are right for you.
