School of the Heart Course

Gain a greater capacity to Love God, Yourself, and Others.

Do you want:

Better relationships, conflict navigation skills, healthy boundaries, and to Reduce Your Stress

Are you ready to start a journey that leads you toward freedom, confidence, and the ability to give and receive more love and kindness

Do you want to feel confident navigating your emotions and navigating around those of others? 

  • Is there a critical voice in your head when you make a mistake or fail? Do you say or think things about yourself you would never say to another person? 

  • Do you see what type of person you want to be, where you want to go, but aren’t sure how to get there? 

  • Have you tried to change so many times, but feel like you keep ending up right back where you started?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then you are in the right place!

School of the Heart offers a greater understanding of what it takes to live powerfully and in control of your life. Imagine what it would be like in stressful situations to respond, instead of reacting in a way you regret later. Our classes help you understand what's happening in your brain and on the inside of you when you trigger or get stressed. School of the Heart offers the tools needed to work through emotional triggers, and find more calm in your body.
