That is a bold and worthy goal.

We WILL do it.

No. These are 2 different programs. HJU is for people who want to use this work in their own lives.

Certification is for those who want learn to teach it to others in their classes, workshops, retreats and memberships.

Both programs are an incredible value on their own.

You are free to use ALL the lessons that are in the Done-For-You Curriculum AS-IS, or you can adapt, modify, or change these lessons to teach others as you see fit.

While you have full rights to use the tools and frameworks of the Core Tools Mastery and the Done-for-You Coaching Curriculum in your coaching programs, workshops, retreats, programs, and offers, you are not permitted to use the names Heartwork Journaling, Doodle Your Emotions, or Heartwork Journaling University in any marketing materials, program names, course titles, retreats, or offers.

Exceptions to these restrictions may be granted only with prior written permission.

The Heartwork Journaling Certification equips you with proven, high-impact tools that you can customize and integrate into your work, but the brand itself remains a distinct brand.

Considering EVERYTHING Certified Instructors will receive in the program, this is the lowest tuition will ever be again.

The value of having proven, effective lessons ready for Certified Instructors to use is worth much more than the tuition. The lower monthly payment program gives those who can't do the full pay a chance to invest in themselves through the lower monthly payments.

If that's not do-able for you now or would, I suggest saving for the next round of Certification that will enroll at a later date. 

I get it. This is an advanced investment.

For the right person, this investment will continue to pay you back for the rest of your career when you offer your classes, groups, workshops and retreats.  

The investment is actually the easy part. Becoming a Heartwork Journaling Certified Instructor will require creating emotional maturity in many areas. It will require constraint, discipline and taking responsibility for when and how you choose to make money.

It will require creating emotions of sufficiency and self-worth on purpose, in order to step into this identity in service of helping others, INCLUDING helping yourself by charging money for your work.

In the Heartwork Journaling Certification program, you will trade indulging in confusion with making powerful decisions and taking inspired action. You will trade negotiating with yourself for commitment and honoring your word to yourself. You will learn how NOT to get lost in drama and you will move forward with everyone in the Certification group.

When you enroll in Certification by paying in full you are choosing significant savings savings on the tuition. If you can, we recommend signing up for the pay in full option for this reason.

Yes! That’s exactly why we created this program.

You’ll be able to coach confidently and effectively using the Heartwork Journaling™ tools and techniques you learn in Core Tools Mastery. You’ll be equipped with a revolutionary coaching method that combines neuroscience-backed self-coaching, emotional processing, and creativity to help people break free from limiting beliefs, process emotions in a healthy way, and create real, lasting change.

PLUS you’ll learn exactly how to deliver the Heartwork Journaling™ based lessons in the Done-for-You Curriculum Lesson Training you receive. 

💡 Most coaches struggle to fill their calendar and classes with paying clients and students.

HJC solves this by giving you the Done-for-You Curriculum that you can use in multiple ways:
✅ Use them as lead magnets to attract coaching clients and build your audience.
✅ Sell them as paid workshops, courses, or standalone products.
✅ Enhance or build a membership program by offering these lessons inside.
✅ Mix & match the lessons to create your own signature coaching framework.

This means you don’t have to waste time figuring out what to offer—HJC gives you the exact lessons, marketing assets, and strategy to start earning right away.

If you want to help people create deep, lasting change while building a profitable coaching business—HJC is for you.

No. You do not. We'll go into the Core Training and lessons in the Certification program more deeply here than anywhere else. You'll be equipped with what you need to empower yourself and others through this work. 

If you don't want to start your own business, this is a GREAT place to enhance your skill set as counselor, therapist, life coach in a corporate organization, or any other personal development professional.

Not only will you become equipped with a new, revolutionary coaching method, you’ll also know how to effectively offer a new library of engaging lessons you can offer your people that create transformation growth and personal development.

Absolutely! That's one of the BEST things about this. You will have full rights to use all of the images and artworks that's included in the Done-For-You Curriculum.

You can decide to use everything in the Curriculum to teach the lessons without doing a live demonstration of the doodling and coloring, unless you want to.

If you do choose to learn how to do a live demonstration of the doodles and coloring, you WON'T be starting from scratch, you'll have all the lessons images as your step-by-step guide.

Plus if you do decide to demonstrate the doodles and coloring, the process of learning to do this will help you OVERCOME your self-judgement and also let go of the opinion of others about your doodles. 

You being brave and allowing your Heartwork to be EXACTLY what it is becomes part of the magic and permission you grant to others.

There is no requirement to be a coach, therapist, counselor, or personal development professional to enroll and graduate from Heartwork Journaling™ Certification. You will not be giving advice or doing therapy that requires a license when you coach or teach your classes.

Your job as a Heartwork Journaling™ Certified Instructor is to help people rediscover themselves through these tools, empowering question prompts, creativity, play, and self-reflective lessons. The most important thing you'll need to know is how to hold space for your students and clients and how to ask questions that allow your clients and students to find their own answers. 

Learning how to use the Core Tools that make up Heartwork Journaling™ creates powerful self-transformation—but learning to coach others through them requires an ENTIRELY different skill set.

Many people first discover Heartwork Journaling™ as a personal growth practice, using these tools to process emotions, gain clarity, and create meaningful change in their own lives.

But knowing how to use these tools for yourself is very different from knowing how to guide others through them as a coach.

Your role as a coach is NOT to give answers, it's NOT to show empathy, it's NOT to try to solve other people's problems—it’s to create the space where clients find their own power and answers.

In Heartwork Journaling™ Certification (HJC), you’ll go beyond personal growth and master the art of coaching others, learning how to:

✅ Ask the right questions—so clients arrive at their own insights and transformation.
✅ Hold a safe space—so clients feel supported, heard, and empowered. (And you don't need to take responsibility for their results)
✅ Apply these tools in a coaching setting—so you can guide deep, lasting change in others.

Whether you’ve already experienced the power of Heartwork Journaling™ in your own life or you’re brand new to these tools, this certification gives you the skills and confidence to use them professionally, helping others transform their lives.

We've had several people sign up for their own self-growth. If this is you - and you want to use HJC for your own personal growth, please come and join us for this transformational work.

While HJC is tailored for coaches and personal development professionals, HJC gives everyone a deeper understanding of using all the Heartwork Journaling™ work, which naturally leads to your own personal self-development. 

No. We will not create a website for you or create social media channels or content for you, other than what is in the Done-For-You Curriculum.

You don't need a website to get started teaching this work and filling your classes. Building a website can slow you down from making that happen quickly. We do recommend getting one built later if you don't have one. 

If you are unable to complete your Certification Program session due to a medical condition of life event, you can transfer your enrollment to the next Certification program session.
