Learning and Performance Testimonials
"The Early HeartSmarts program is wonderful. It fits into our programming for bereaved children (for our preschool, kindergarten, and first-graders). Learning HeartMath coping skills leaves a child equipped not only for handling their grief, but also for subsequent changes in their lives. Last month as we did the Heart Lock-In® tool during our time of being in a cocoon, before becoming a butterfly (lessons on change), one preschool child spontaneously said, ‘Thank you, heart.’
– Barbe Creagh, Licensed Social Worker, Rainbow Hospice, Park Ridge, Illinois
"My students love to sing the songs. When we go out to recess, they put their hand on their heart and talk about how it feels. They have enjoyed the lessons."
– Michelle Avilla, pre-K teacher, Kellom Elementary School, Omaha Public Schools
"It had been a crazy week dealing with challenging situations and trying to get things done. One day at lunch, I went into my office, closed the door and turned on my emWave PSR (Personal Stress Reliever). For 15 minutes, I practiced the Heart Lock-In. Afterwards, my day went so much smoother. I need to practice these techniques more often, because they are so helpful."
– William Herrera, Principal, Animo Justice Charter School, Los Angeles
"I became interested in the Institute of HeartMath during the 90s when I was director of education at a hospital. (I am also a nurse). Your material was a large part of my sessions and people responded passionately to the information I presented. Very simply, I loved what I was doing – for myself, for others – with HeartMath material."
– Carol Anne Cherry (Pequegnat), student and retired director of education, Cobourg, Ontario, Canada
"Since being trained on HeartMath techniques, my students are surprised at how quickly their emotions can change and teachers and counselors alike have reported that the students are ‘calmer’ and ‘less angry and distracted.’ One of my favorite testimonials comes from a student who requested an intervention practice (using the HeartMath tools), as he was angry and anxious. Afterward he reported that he was surprised that it ‘worked,’ and his mood changed from angry to positive. He then went out for P.E. After P.E., he told the teacher that he had made five consecutive shots at basketball. He said: "I feel so relaxed, I can do anything."
– Mary Walsh, Phoenix Academy, San Rafael, California
"As a Sunday school teacher handling children ages 3-6, I was so eager to introduce them to this program. It was an experience worth remembering, knowing you get to be involved deeply in each of their lives. You get to know more of their emotions and understand them better.
"I was amazed by their reactions when I introduced the model of the heart and how it links between the physical and emotional side of it. The experience of listening to each of their heartbeats with the use of a stethoscope made it more interesting. Each of them got a chance to do it. I also introduced the Bear Heart puppet to them. They welcomed him gladly into their lives.
"I will treasure every moment of this experience as long as I live. Rest assured, I will continue touching more lives of children as this Early HeartSmarts Program is under my care … and share it with my co-educators."
– Excerpt of letter from Maja F. Lila, teacher, General Santos Hope Christian School, General Santos City, Philippines
