HeartMath Clinical Certification Requirements

Overview

The HeartMath Clinical Certification is a specialized program designed for healthcare professionals integrating heart rate variability (HRV) and resilience techniques into clinical practice. Below are the specific eligibility criteria and completion requirements.

1. Eligibility Criteria

To enroll in this course, you must meet one of the following professional standards:

  • Licensed Professionals: You must be a state, provincial, or nationally licensed or certified health professional. Qualifying fields include counseling, therapy, psychology, nursing, medicine, occupational therapy, yoga therapy, and other recognized clinical or mental health modalities.
  • Students: Health professional students are eligible for certification after completing their first year of study, provided they can submit a valid transcript.

Important Exclusion: Life coaches, personal coaches, business coaches, and corporate trainers are not eligible for the Clinical Certification. We encourage professionals in these fields to explore our other HeartMath certification programs better suited to those backgrounds.

If you are unsure whether your professional background qualifies, you can inquire using the HeartMath Certification Eligibility Request form.
