“This is the approach that I recommend.”

Patch Adams, Renowned Physician

“The best thing about this course was that instead of walking away with another approach to put in my "bag of tools" to use as a therapist, I walked away with a changed perspective on communication not only with children, but with all people and most of all myself. This tool is not going in the "bag" but in my "heart" to be used daily!”

Therapist

“This online nurtured heart course has really helped me in creating an atmosphere of positive rules, consequences, and discipline in my classroom… The kids have really responded well to the overwhelming positive, irrefutable greatness qualities being recognized in them on a daily basis. They seem to crave this positive attention now, which is wonderful! ”

Teacher

“The Nurtured Heart Approach has made all the difference in the world for the children and families I work with and with my own children as well.”

Parent/Therapist

“I've applied the Nurtured Heart Approach to my classes for three years and the children are greatly improved in every way imaginable. The only way you would recognize the challenging kids is by looking for the best and the brightest.”

Teacher

“The multi-platform approach, which included live webinars, excellent power point presentations and great reading material, really brought this approach to a new level. I really felt I knew the Nurtured Heart Approach inside and out and I did...this was still a major transformation for me!”

Social Worker

“The entire online course was outstanding. It has widened and deepened my way of teaching and, indeed, of viewing/living in the world.”

Teacher

“My practice as a social worker has been transformed. It's so much fun to get results so fast and to be of such help to families in getting their intense child to be so great.”

Social Worker

“All of us who took the online course met as a group yesterday—and WOW, the transformation people were sharing was really inspirational. We plan to spread what we have experienced and learned throughout our county by training social workers, teachers, juvenile hall staff, probation officers, etc. etc. etc. I wanted to make sure you knew the impact of your work. Thank you!”

Staff Member, Violence Prevention Community Agency

“I loved the fact that we had time to practice the stands and techniques each week and that we could do that in our real work and then come back online and get feedback!”

Teacher

“It's so great that it should be a Masters of Education program... it's about life ...it's about finding place in the world and the way you fit into that world.”

Teacher

“To be frank, I was not sure how this course would be of benefit with all of my home and clinical experience, but I believe that it has moved NHA even further into the depths of my heart and given me a "peace of the soul" that is a continuous comfort and deep happiness. By noticing nuances with my own sons it has deepened the peace of our home. By noticing my own supersized needs for connection, it has given me a peace in knowing that I can be in charge of how I get my connection and I CHOOSE to get it met with the most fabulously juicy and intensely wonderful connection I can find...and I am finding it everywhere now. What joy to know that I am totally in charge of my own happiness. I have, of course, known this for decades, but it is now wholly true in my heart as well. I feel the deepest gratitude and love for all who participated and for all who created this course.”
