This works on the system underneath it.
Andy Fox is one of Melbourne's only HeartMath-certified coaches specialising in nervous system regulation as the foundation for personal change — not an add-on, the actual starting point. Here's what that looks like in practice.
Practically, it's a mix of two things: real-time tools you can use the moment you notice yourself activated — HeartMath coherence techniques, breathwork, vagus nerve work — and a slower, structural look at why your system stays on high alert in the first place.
It's not generic stress management. Sessions use measurable feedback (heart rate variability) rather than just asking how you're feeling, and the regulation work sits inside a broader framework rather than floating on its own — which is part of why it tends to hold up under real pressure rather than just working in the calm of a coaching session.
High achievers and leaders whose stress response has stopped switching off — wired at 11pm, snapping at things that didn't used to bother them, running on a kind of low-grade dread even when nothing's technically wrong. People who've tried the standard advice (exercise more, sleep better, set boundaries) and found it helps a bit without touching the underlying pattern.
It's not for acute crisis support — if you're in genuine crisis, that needs a different kind of help first. This is for people functioning, often functioning well from the outside, who know their nervous system is running the show more than they'd like.
Andy works with clients in person in Melbourne and online across Australia. The regulation techniques themselves don't actually require being in the same room — HRV feedback, breathwork, and coherence training all translate cleanly to video — but in-person sessions are available for anyone who wants them.
Three credentials sit behind this: IMMA Certified Mindfulness Coach, HeartMath Certified Trainer and Coach, and ACT Coach. That combination is the actual point — nervous system regulation that's grounded in a measurable technique (HeartMath), an awareness practice (mindfulness), and a framework for working with thoughts and behaviour once the system's regulated enough to do that work (ACT).
Most nervous system content online comes from one lane — somatic therapy, or breathwork, or mindset coaching — without the others. This doesn't.
A free 20-minute discovery call — no pitch, just a conversation about what's actually going on and whether this is the right fit before either of you commits to anything. From there, most people start with the First Step programme or move straight into 1:1 work, depending on what the call surfaces.
Regular life coaching mostly works at the level of goals, habits, and mindset. This starts a layer underneath that — the nervous system state that determines whether any of that mindset work can actually stick under real pressure.
No. Devices and biofeedback can be used in sessions to show what's actually happening, but the techniques themselves work without any hardware.
No. This is coaching, not clinical treatment. If what's going on is a diagnosable mental health condition rather than chronic stress and dysregulation, therapy is the right starting point, and the two can work alongside each other.
Some techniques shift your state within the session itself. The deeper pattern — why your system stays activated in the first place — usually takes weeks of consistent work, not one session, to actually change.
Yes. Most of the work translates cleanly to video, and many clients do this entirely online. In-person sessions in Melbourne are available for anyone who prefers them.
