Foundations to Marketing and How to Generate Income with Heart. This power hour online workshop with Robyn Gooding will give you tools, resources and how to get your marketing going!
For this module, you will be provided an accountability partner and asked to practice a HeartField technique (learned in this module) every day for 10-minutes day and submit log before Module Three.
In this modality we utilize body therapy breathwork, heart science, somatic healing, neuroscience and yogic practices for deep healing. The main breathwork is a 3-part open mouth breath that activates energy stored in the body. Similar to Holotropic breathwork, this breathwork is a body therapy and is a powerful therapeutic tool for wellness and well being. Most of my clients love this form of breathwork because it means less talk therapy and more healing and wellness.
If you have a history of seizures, heart conditions, on heavily prescribed medication, pregnant, or suffer from high blood pressure, or have a history of psychiatric conditions this kind of breathwork most likely is not suitable for you. If this work, specifically the heart science components, still feels like a fit for you and you would like a less therapeutic breath pattern, please message me, and we can discuss a variant training that may be more suitable and deeply supportive.
All you need is wifi, a technology to log into Zoom (computer / phone / iPad), a quiet room, a blanket, a yoga mat if you have one (not necessary), and you!
You will be provided with a manual for each module, including tool templates you can bring in your business. I recommend you ensure you have a new journal to record your experience, take notes and jot down your big “ah-has”.
Please note you will need integration time after each module. I recommend you take an hour to half a day, if possible, to integrate your experience and learning you don’t bypass the brain upgrade!
Modules learning components will be recorded for your review yes! I do highly encourage you to attend the live sessions as we will be doing experiential learning every module and the experiential learning components will not be recorded, especially the breathwork segments.
Breathwork sessions are personal and have therapeutic content. As much as I would LOVE to offer recordings to participants, it’s not aligned with my ethical principles of honoring confidentiality and ensuring safety. However, in this certification process, I will be offering the audio recording for 24 hours to those who miss class as long as participants are willing to do a check in within 24 hours post practice. Please contact me for more information.
In short, the answer to this is yes. However, any recordings I do use, will not contain your face, name or information. The recording will solely be of me in a training/ teaching capacity.
Please note you are required to attend at minimum 4 of 5 modules live. Recordings will not be downloadable but accessible through the online platform for the duration of the year.
Becoming a certified HeartBreath Coach will give you all the knowledge and tools you need to get your started and moving forward in a successful career in guiding individuals and groups on HeartBreath journeys.

By the end of Module One, you will have the ability to begin guiding and charging for individual sessions. If you desire coaching support and supervision to ensure quality of service and confident to begin your business, I will be able to provide support. Full details will be provided in Module One on how to get started.
