What Our Graduates Say
Hear from practitioners who have completed the certification program and are now bringing Resonant Healing to their communities.
I can absolutely testify from my heart to Sarah’s work, both for myself and for those I offer it to. It has and continues to be a profound journey, both internally and beyond. Sometimes I can feel tears of joy, when people I’m working with share the gifts they’ve given themselves, as a result of our Resonant Healing sessions.
Once Sarah said: As long as we don’t know ourselves fully relaxed, we don’t know our creativity, our joy, the life that’s possible for us. And that has become a new level of this experience, of experiencing myself. I’m endlessly grateful to Sarah for starting this program, or else, this wouldn’t have happened to me.
I am so grateful to be given the words and the understanding of what is happening regarding emotional trauma. I look forward to the continuing healing and implementing it further in my work with others. It is tremendous to watch others be released of their trauma and pain.
I am an integrated therapist and this work weaves seemslessly into my current practice and I am seeing even more amazing results. More importantly to me is the change within myself. Developing my own Resonant Self Witness has changed my internal communication, which has created more capacity for others and is having such a positive impact on my life and my work. The RHP program has been a very nurturing environment, where all those involved practice what they teach.
I’ve become a totally different person due to the work of Resonant Language, in my work as a coach, trainer, and mediator. I am so happy that I’ve become aware of when my brain shifts to operating from the left hemisphere, and how I can shift back into right brain relationality, so that I can connect tenderly with people where they are at any given moment.
It is one of the best decisions of my life. I experienced change in my inner voice and how my body reacts, and it stays with me. Living with me every day has become easier than before.
FAQs
Answers to frequently asked questions:
What is Resonant Healing?
Resonant Healing is a unique approach that combines the neuroscience of brain and body, warm compassion, and resonant connection to facilitate deep emotional healing, relational repair, and personal transformation. It embraces both the science of how our brains respond to empathy and the art of accompanying others through their healing journey.
Two important processes used in this method are time travel resonance and the release of unconscious contracts/sacred vows.
Who is this certification program for?
This program is designed for therapists, coaches, healers, and anyone interested in deep personal growth and supporting others through trauma healing.
Whether you’re a professional looking to enhance your practice or someone on a personal healing journey who wants to support others, this program provides the skills and understanding to facilitate resonant healing.
How is the program structured?
The certification program includes live online training sessions, recorded lessons, supervised practice sessions, personal mentoring, and a comprehensive curriculum covering both theory and practical application.
The program runs for 12 months with regular learning modules, practice groups, and integration periods.
Are there prerequisites to attend?
Program applicants are asked to have completed at least 100 training hours with Sarah Peyton to enter this training. Ideally, participants should have worked with this resonance material for 3 years, however exceptions are made based on past experience.
You can see the full list of prerequisites here.
If you have questions about the requirements or how to meet them email our team.
I am not interested in certification, but I am intrigued by Resonance; is this training for me?
This program is intended for those who are committed to this professional training.
The curriculum depends on active engagement and participation, including at least 25 hours of dedicated practice with peers over the course of the program. In addition to module hours, the program includes practice group sessions with peers, community calls, journeyperson sessions, resonance practice sessions, journaling, and self-study (20-30 hours a month).
If this is not the level of commitment you are ready for, we recommend that you take other courses with Sarah. To explore other offerings, please visit https://sarahpeyton.com/events/ or email [email protected] to find support with the next step in your learning journey
How can I track my prerequisite hours to attend?
See the full list of prerequisites here.
You can track your learning hours on this log or make your own if you would like to track another way. Please make a copy of it in the menu before adding your hours. If you have questions about doing this, please email our team.
If you are in ongoing live classes with Sarah and want those hours to count, please check in with our team so that we can track your attendance.
If attending a full-day course, please only include active hours in your log (i.e. if there is a 1-hour break, that time should not be included). Please have your camera on when possible and be actively engaged (joining breakout sessions) whenever possible since the bulk of learning happens in practice and engagement.
If you will also be tracking resonance practice, you can use this log or create your own. Again, please make your own copy.
Any recorded learning will require a journal entry. You will save your entries to submit with your application to the practitioner program.
For journal entries, what we would love to receive is a paragraph or a couple of sentences about the following things:
1) What did you learn?
2) How were you personally moved by anything you heard/learned as you listened/watched?
3) How do you imagine you will apply the learning or insights you had to your work?
Please email the team if you have any questions.
What is the balance between personal healing and supporting others within this curriculum?
Self-healing and readiness to support others are interconnected aspects of our training program.
Throughout the program, students will embark on a transformative journey, navigating their own healing process while keeping their focus on the ultimate goal of supporting others. We emphasize that resonance, the ability to deeply connect and understand our clients, depends on expanding our capacity to be present with their truth. Engaging in self-healing practices enables us to develop greater capacity, allowing us to meet our clients’ challenges without the interference of our own personal history. By dedicating ourselves to our own healing, we cultivate the necessary space and empathy to truly support and assist those we will work with in the future.
While acknowledging the importance of personal healing, it is essential to highlight that the curriculum primarily centers around a professional program to prepare students to be Resonance practitioners. We highly encourage prospective students to possess a substantial foundation of self-healing, along with strong community support and available resources to sustain their ongoing engagement throughout the program. This enables students to strike a harmonious balance between their personal healing journey and the program’s requirements.
How much time should I allocate to this training outside of workshop hours?
This program requires between 20-30 hours a month. Many of the hours, outside of workshop hours are self-directed. Additional commitments (included in these 20-30 hours) include practice group sessions, community calls, journeyperson sessions, resonance practice sessions, journaling, and self-study.
Will Sarah Peyton be present during the workshop hours?
Absolutely! Sarah Peyton will be teaching all of the curricula, and she is present and available throughout each and every session and workshop.
Community calls are facilitated by former RHP graduates or other knowledgeable staff members. Your practice group meetings are self-led, allowing you to actively participate and engage with fellow participants.
How big is the group?
The number of participants is capped at 60 to ensure an optimal experience for incoming practitioners. Additionally, a highly capable team of ‘Journeypeople’ (graduates from previous RHP cohorts) will join to provide dedicated resonance and support, and to ensure more easeful operation during workshop hours.
I understand we will be working with early traumas as part of the course content. What if I get flooded with emotions?
We care for you! Before applying, please deeply consider your support systems and personal emotional resources. In addition, because we understand the depth of this work, we’ve arranged for a group of ‘Journeypeople’ [graduates from previous RHP cohorts] assistants to support us. All assistants are previous graduates of the program.
During workshop hours, if you hit a trauma bubble, you can reach out and go to a private breakout room with a Journeyperson, who will support you to come back to regulation and engagement again. You will be expected to make-up the missed class hours, ASAP, with your practice group or resonance buddies from the cohort, if you choose this important option to self-regulate!
Outside of modules, we encourage people to connect with their practice groups, journeypersons, and external other support systems. As a professional program, personal growth and healing serves to support client work and capacity for resonance, but we expect students to have a plan ahead of time for how to navigate the anticipated challenges and be willing to actively engage and reach for the support available to them.
What if I miss a session?
Attendance and engagement are required for certification, although we do have contingency plans for those in different time-zones.
In the event of a major life circumstance or an emergency, and you have an acute reason to miss the session, you will be offered an opportunity to be able to catch up through recordings of the session, including a request to complete practices with peers later. If you know ahead of time that you won’t be able to be present at certain times, connect with the organizing team and we will discuss what’s possible.
Some sessions are in the middle of the night... how can I participate?
If you’re in a time zone where live sessions happen in the middle of the night, we’ve designed an alternate co-study option:
- During every module, participants enrolled in this alternate co-study arrangement get to go (back) to bed after the first half of each module, and only attend the first half live.
- After adequate rest, and in the period before the next day of the module begins, a co-study session will be held by our co-director, Gayathri to catch-up with the missed second half of each day. This will be possible since unedited recordings of each day are uploaded a few hours after the module finishes.
- The timing of the co-study session will be decided through consensus for those enrolled in the alternate arrangement, before the formal start of the cohort. Likely late morning, India time [since that will work for folks in India/Asia and in Australia/New Zealand]
- Budget 2 hours of co-study time to cover the missed second half of the module — watch the content (teachings, demo, Q&A) and do the missed breakout exercises.
- Co-study sessions help you stay fully in sync with the cohort — without sacrificing your sleep, health, or progress toward certification.
Are CEUs offered for this training?
No. CEUs are not offered for the RHP program.
What are the requirements for certification?
In order to receive RHP certification, participants will complete the following requirements:
- Live attendance and engagement during all workshop modules.
- Log at least 50 practice hours of receiving and providing resonant empathy
- Journal according to provided recommendations at least once per week during the certification course period
- Practice in groups of four on a weekly basis
- Submit monthly written assignments between modules, as requested. A total of 10 written assignments are likely to be assigned for feedback from Sarah or the co-directors.
- Complete and submit additional assignments as they arise from the curriculum
- Submit a full session transcript to Sarah for review, and integrate feedback, including the possibility of submitting additional transcripts.
- Attend or watch process work sessions with Sarah Peyton, offered as part of this training
- Attend and engage in Sarah’s monthly neurobiology and resonance webinars.
- Participate in monthly Q&A online community meetings
- Receive 50 minute process work sessions from a previous graduate of the program during the course, focused on time travel and unconscious contract work. Number of sessions to be determined at the beginning of the program
- After graduation, cohort#4 graduates are expected to be willing to work with a student or students in the next edition of this certification program (Cohort #5) on a monthly basis, as a ‘Journeyperson’, paying forward what was received
What happens after certification?
Upon completing the requirements of the program and being certified by Sarah you will be able to call yourself a Resonant Healing Practitioner. Practitioners have gone on to apply and integrate this work in their client practices as well as in ministries, corporations, schools, and more.
Practitioner certification offers long-term connection with an active professional network of international resonant healing colleagues, learning opportunities and opportunities for client referrals via Sarah Peyton’s Resonant Healing Practitioner Directory.
To uphold the integrity of Resonant Healing, Certification must be renewed yearly by engaging with continued resonance education either through teaching, learning, or assisting (currently 18 hours per year), sharing a short resonance process, and by agreeing to the practitioner code of ethics.
What if a practitioner’s specialty is actually making the waters of emotion familiar, livable and “home”? What if our natural birthright is the ocean of human emotions and experience, and what if clients actually need someone to come in and swim with them?
