About the Heart Behind Living Resonance

Meet Kate Barnhart, RN, MSN, HeartMath® Certified Practitioner, Founder of Living Resonance

There are moments when the body remembers—not through thought, but through a shift in rhythm, a breath that lands differently, a quiet settling of the heart.

My path has carried me through over two decades of clinical nursing—from neonatal intensive care and pediatric emergency medicine to cardiac rehabilitation and holistic school based health. I spent years tracking heart rhythms on monitors, watching how stress, fear, and love each left a signature on the body.

But what changed everything was discovering that coherence isn’t just a clinical measurement
It’s a felt remembering.
A state where the heart, breath, and nervous system move in harmony—where science meets spirit, and physiology bows to presence.

Like an aspen grove connected by unseen roots, coherence reminds us that we are held in a quiet belonging — each heartbeat part of a larger rhythm.

Living Resonance was born from that discovery.

I learned that regulation does not come through force but through attunement—through listening to the subtle language of the heart, to the pulse beneath the medical chart, to the way nature teaches rhythm simply by existing.

I carry both the precision of heart science and the quiet medicine of earth-based presence.
I have sat beside heart monitors—and beside rivers.
I have counted ventilator breaths—and watched my own breath return to coherence in the presence of trees.
These threads are not separate to me. They are one lineage.

Living Resonance is not a brand. It is a field.
A space where your nervous system is met with safety, where your heart intelligence is honored, and where coherence returns naturally—like a creek finding its flow again after stones are gently moved out of the way.

If something in you is tired of effort and ready for a softer way of being… you are already in resonance.
