Shifting the rhythms of the heart can lead to quick improvements in brain function and a reduction in feelings of anxiety, stress, and overwhelm. The HeartMath tools and techniques are specifically designed to change the heart’s rhythms, which in turn affects the information sent from the heart to the brain. Establishing a new baseline of coherent heart rhythms is crucial for sustained changes and improvements in our performance, health and emotional well-being. Without establishing a new baseline, it becomes impossible to achieve lasting transformation.
When our systems are coherent and there’s alignment between the heart and brain, we tap into our deeper intuition and inner guidance. This newfound clarity allows us to make decisions with more ease, even in situations that initially appear complex. The coherence techniques and practices taught in this program calm the nervous system, neutralize stress reactions and create more balanced alignment between the heart, mind and emotions. It’s the lack of this that creates a high percent of our stress and all of the discord that results.
Numerous research studies conducted in a wide range of diverse populations have shown that practicing the coherence techniques results in significant reductions in stress, depression, anxiety, anger, hostility, burnout, fatigue and increases in caring, contentment, gratitude, peacefulness, resilience and vitality.
Additionally, statistically significant improvements in mental and emotional well-being have been demonstrated in over 14,000 people after 6-9 weeks of HeartMath training. As a HeartMath® Certified Trainer, you will have access to the normed and validated Personal and Organizational Quality Assessment (POQA-R) for use in your organization or with clients.
The HeartMath Institute primarily certifies trainers who serve the general public, nonprofit organizations, schools, universities, social-service agencies, first responder organizations such as law enforcement, fire services, corrections, military, veteran and other government agencies.
Those who get certified include:
The Coherence Advantage was originally developed for the U.S. Navy’s Expeditionary Combat Command to assist with their highly demanding missions. Since then, culturally appropriate versions of the coherence-building techniques have been successfully taught to over 100,000 First Responders and Service Members in various countries, including Canada, Colombia, Nepal, the Netherlands, North Macedonia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
To ensure cultural appropriateness, there are three versions of the workshop materials available:
These adaptations cater to the unique needs and requirements of each group, allowing for effective implementation of the Coherence Advantage techniques.
In response to many requests, we have made our certification program more affordable and accessible with an interest-free monthly payment plan. You can now spread your payments equally over four months. Our simple and non-binding certification course application makes the process straightforward. We want to assure you that your information is safe with us, and we won’t share it with anyone outside our organization.
While the certification course is taught in English, presentation and workshop participant materials are all available in Spanish. In addition, we offer the Building Personal Resilience Mentor Certification in Spanish.

A substantial amount of research has been conducted on the effectiveness of the coherence techniques offered in the Coherence Advantage (formerly titled the Resilience Advantage). Studies conducted on a wide range of populations have consistently shown that practicing these techniques leads to significant reductions in stress, depression, anxiety, anger, hostility, and burnout, as well as increases in positive emotions such as caring, contentment, gratitude, peacefulness, resilience and vitality.
As individuals learn to integrate the Coherence Advantage skills into their daily lives, they become better at handling day-to-day challenges and stressors that often leave them depleted. Using these skills has been shown to provide a wide range of long-term personal and professional benefits, including:
"I am very happy that I connected with the HeartMath family. It’s really been a blessing. I took the Resilience Advantage (Now Coherence Advantage) certification training and I have been able to use the tools I learned in the courses I teach. I have been helping a lot of people get connected to their heart. I’ve been doing it for most of my life, I just didn’t know how to train on it. Now I feel like I have all the tools I need to fulfill my mission, even in a greater way. Thank you HeartMath."
