NSM Certification Application

Apply for Neuro-Somatic Mindfulness™ Certification

Deepen your practice. Embody the work. Learn to guide others.

Thank you for your interest in the Neuro-Somatic Mindfulness™ (NSM) Certification Program with Fleet Maull, PhD and HeartMind.

NSM is an integrative mindfulness approach that brings together contemplative practice, embodied awareness, nervous system regulation, and somatic approaches to support greater presence, resilience, self-awareness, emotional regulation, and wellbeing.

This certification is designed for coaches, therapists and helping professionals, mindfulness and meditation teachers, organizational and leadership professionals, and serious practitioners who want to deepen their own practice and develop the skills to bring NSM into their work with others.

Because this is an experiential and professional training, admission is by application. Please complete the application below. Our team will review your responses and contact you regarding next steps.
