Professional training and certification

Bring belonging science into your work.

SoundHeart trains and certifies clinicians, educators, and organizations to recognize belonging predictions and build practices that change them. Training is offered in person and remotely, wherever you are, and led by the creator of NeuroRelational Belonging Theory™.

Certification

The only way to use the model in your work.

NeuroRelational Belonging Theory™ and its methods may be used in professional practice, teaching, supervision, or training only by professionals who complete the SoundHeart certification program.

  • Reading the books, attending a talk, or taking a single workshop does not authorize use.
  • Certification authorizes use of the model within your own license and scope of practice. It is not a professional license.
  • Certified professionals credit the framework by name and use SoundHeart materials only as the program permits.
