Course Overview

HeartMath Healthcare Co-Directors and Master Trainers
In these 6 video sessions, you will quickly learn the science and skills of transforming stress into resilience with self-regulation by activating the power of the heart. Participants will receive a certificate for 2 CE credits upon completion.
HeartMath's definition of resilience, "The capacity to prepare for, recover from, and adapt in the face of challenge, adversity and stress," was adopted by the US Navy and integrated into healthcare systems around the world. HeartMath tools are being used by healthcare workers to recover from and better handle the unique stressors in this field.
Each video is 10–20 minutes in length, accompanied by a downloadable audio tool you can listen to while on the go or on breaks. HeartMath’s heart rate variability biofeedback technology is not required for this training, but for participants who have access to this technology, training on its application is included. Lessons are designed to care for staff across the continuum of healthcare, from environmental services to physicians, nurses, patient-facing practitioners, administrators, and all levels of leadership.
Each participant learns techniques that can be used anywhere, anytime. These skills were created from 30 years of evidence-based research at the HeartMath Institute on the intersection of emotions, heart rhythms, and the autonomic and central nervous systems. You can learn to self-regulate your physiology and emotions to save energy and build resilience, all while building a better quality of life for yourself, your patients, colleagues, and communities.
Outcomes can be measured subjectively in positive changes in affect and objectively in over 1,400 biomedical benefits. When organizations implement HeartMath tools at scale, outcomes improve, costs go down, and cultures change for the better in measurable ways.
The accumulated toll of stress can erode our capacities and alignment with who we truly are at heart. HeartMath’s simple skills, when applied consistently in micro moments throughout the day, can realign us with our core sense of purpose, value, and meaning. This shift energizes and renews us and helps us build our capacity and hope to better care for ourselves and our world in these evolving times.
Learning Outcomes: Individuals Can Expect To...
- Learn heart-based skills that can be applied in the midst of demanding healthcare environments to access an optimal state of physiological coherence while doing daily tasks (handwashing, changing PPE, huddles, team meetings, patient rounding, etc.).
- Learn the scientific underpinnings of why using these heart coherence skills measurably reduces your stress, increases immunity and resilience, and benefits your quality of life, mental clarity, health, and longevity (while reducing all-cause mortality and morbidity).
- Gain self and situational awareness by consciously harnessing the impact emotions have on our physiology and performance.
- Identify and transform energy drains into gains. Learn how to renew yourself and create energy gains on the move.
- Apply these skills with heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback in real time (optional).
- Better prepare for challenges, recover from setbacks, and sustain the state of physiological coherence in the midst of a demanding healthcare role.
- Improve decision-making and access higher forms of intelligence and practical intuition on the go.
- Learn the science of relational energetics and integrate step-by-step modalities proven to enhance communication and teamwork. This leads to a culture of more true connection and collaboration.
- Learn the distinction between balanced care (the type of care that fuels us) and overcare (the type of care that drains us). Gain skills to transform overcare as an industry hazard in order to recover from and prevent compassion fatigue and burnout.
- Operationalize the tools learned to help create a heart-based culture through the transformation of stress into more resilience, energy, and coherence.
Note: Complete the program evaluation and exam to receive a certificate for 2 CE credits (for nursing).
Organizations who deploy this program can expect to:
See reductions in turnover, medical errors, healthcare utilization costs, stress-related absenteeism, miscommunications, and low morale.
See increases in staff resilience, teaming, patient satisfaction, employee retention, and benefits to leadership and labor interactions and relations.

General Overview of Content and Education
Total Duration: 105 mins
MODULE 1 - The Foundations
Quickly build resilience through evidence-based techniques grounded in the science of coherence and heart rate variability (HRV) - The Quick Coherence® Technique. (23:34)
Establish a new optimal baseline in the autonomic nervous system (with an optional HRV technology tutorial). A technique to deepen and sustain coherence over time – The Heart Lock-In® Technique. (10:40)
MODULE 2 - Operational Coherence
Sustaining coherence on the move: “Prep, Shift & Reset, and Sustain.” A technique to create inner ease – The Inner-Ease™ Technique. (16:48)
MODULE 3 - Increasing Mental Clarity and Intuition
Activate coherence during decision-making for increased mental clarity and intuition – The Freeze Frame® Technique. (17:28)
MODULE 4 - Building Coherent Relationships
Learn the science behind how to improve relationships—the essence of building harmonious interactions, teams & coherent relationships. This also reduces errors due to communication breakdowns - The Coherent Communication™ Technique. (16:22)
MODULE 5 - Depletion to Renewal™ & Overcare to Balanced Care
Learn how to transform energy drains into gains through self-awareness and coherence and to care in a way that regenerates us vs. depletes us. (20:11)
