What Coaches and Mentors are Saying

Building Personal Resilience Certification (Independent) is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 369.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Genie in a bottle?? I recently took the Building Personal Resilience class after hearing about the HeartMath techniques from a friend. He described how it helped him slow down, appreciate life more fully, and gain greater focus. I joked that it sounded like a genie in a bottle, and he assured me it would be that and more. He was absolutely right. This class has helped me not only to appreciate life on a deeper level but also to pause before reacting, to consider other people’s perspectives, and to approach situations with greater understanding. It has taught me how to manage stress, slow down, and find joy in simply being myself. Overall, the experience was truly fabulous, and I would highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to reduce stress, increase resilience, and live with greater appreciation and ease.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Science of a Resilient Heart For the last 33 years of my career, I worked in vocational rehabilitation, helping adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities find and keep jobs. While not officially part of my role, life coaching was an essential element of my work. The strongest emotions to tame were always stress and anxyety. When I learned about HeartMath from a speaker I enjoy, I was intrigued by their science. It reminded me that the heart has its own brain, memory, and influence on the mind. In a way, I'd always known that. I've had long conversations and even arguments with my heart as if it were a separate entity, but it always won. The science of HeartMath showed me why: it is incredibly powerful. If we listen to it, we will be on the right path, reconnecting with our own heart intelligence, with other humans with whom we share this planet, and with all other living entities. Once I discovered this information on the HeartMath.org website, I had no hesitation about signing up for this course. It was truly well-coordinated. The instructors were knowledgeable, friendly, and fun; the material was informative and truly essential for developing resilience as we move forward in this changing world. The class wasn't too large, which made it easy to participate. Since the material was very new to me, accessing additional information and watching the many videos available on the website or YouTube was very helpful. I'm so grateful that HeartMath offers this course and am so happy to have found it and to be part of this great community.

This course is a practical and efficient way to learn and implement coherence techniques that help you live an emotionally balanced life! It has been a goal of mine to find techniques that are not cumbersome yet can make a BIG impact in living with a more mindful lens and this course does exactly that !

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Building Personal Resilience Heart Focused Breathing is the simplest yet most effective method I have learned, and the additional techniques in the course are so valuable for centering and calming in almost any situation. I had worked with three "practice" clients throughout this course, and we all were receptive to the concepts and practices covered each week and amazed at the results. We are all continuing to practice and keep in touch with our progress. The technical, measurable science behind the concepts were understandable and applicable. This course demonstrated the power of coherence of body, mind, and spirit. Tricia and Sarah are wonderful teachers!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Heart-Centered Approach to Building True Resilie Participating in the Building Personal Resilience™ Certification course has been a transformative experience for both my personal growth and professional practice. This program not only deepened my understanding of the science behind heart coherence but also equipped me with practical, easy-to-apply techniques to support clients through stress, emotional regulation, and decision-making. The tools, such as Heart-Focused Breathing, Freeze Frame, Heart Lock-In, and Coherent Communication, are simple yet profoundly effective. I've witnessed firsthand how these techniques help clients become more aware of their inner state, respond rather than react, and develop a deeper connection with their intuitive guidance. What stands out most is how grounded and science-based the training is, while still honoring the emotional and energetic aspects of human experience. The content is clear, well-structured, and supported by fascinating research. Since becoming certified, I’ve felt more confident in guiding others through challenging transitions with a renewed sense of calm and clarity. I especially appreciate how the program encourages daily integration, not just coaching application. This course has strengthened not only my coaching toolbox but also my own personal resilience and capacity to stay heart-centered in daily life. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to make a meaningful impact on others’ lives, starting with their own.
