Discover Deep Personal Transformation


Heart Coherence  Training for You and Your Clients


Access Ongoing Support and Growth

Connect to your Heart Intelligence — and help others do the same.

At the root of our society’s biggest problems is disconnection. More than ever, people need effective tools to reconnect to the wisdom and guidance of their hearts, build resilience and find balance in their lives.

If you’re a coach, mentor, facilitator, teacher or want to help others build resilience and emotional well-being, the skills-based Building Personal Resilience™ HeartMath® Coach Certification is the perfect next step to expand your impact.

Through this program, you’ll gain the skills to teach individuals and small groups how to transfrom stress, expand their capacity for love, and improve their overall health and performance.

Why Care About Resilience?

It takes 4 minutes to understand the close relationship between resilience, heart coherence and well- being, and how to tap into this connection to thrive.

Watch now:

Help others shift separation and discord into connection and coherence, one heartbeat at a time.

Stress → Resilience

Say goodbye to constant worry and anxiety. You and your clients will learn practical tools to handle life’s challenges with more ease, building the resilience needed to thrive, not just survive.

Mental Fog → Clarity

Imagine making decisions with confidence and solving problems more easily. As you both gain mental clarity, you’ll feel more focused, organized, and capable of tackling anything that comes your way.

Disconnection → Emotional Awareness

As you learn to improve your own relationships, you’ll also help clients become more in tune with emotions and better able to communicate and connect with others.

Depletion → Vitality

HeartMath’s energy regulation techniques help both you and your clients will feel more energized and ready to take on the day — leaving stress and exhaustion behind.
