Connecting the Heart and Mind in Education with Jeff Goelitz, Director of Education at HeartMath Institute

Ep. 3 – Connecting the Heart and Mind in Education

In this heart-centered episode, I sit down with Jeffrey Goelitz, Director of Education at HeartMath Institute, to explore the powerful connection between heart intelligence and learning. Jeffrey shares how HeartMath’s research-based methods are transforming education by helping students and teachers develop emotional regulation, resilience, and well-being.

With decades of experience as an education consultant, curriculum developer, and senior trainer, Jeffrey has worked with schools across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada to improve social-emotional learning (SEL), mental health, and classroom climate. He has co-created multiple programs, including the award-winning Smart Brain Wise Heart curriculum and the newly launched WiseHeart program for children ages 7-10. His recent work includes leading a CDC grant to reduce youth violence and piloting a mental health initiative in 40+ schools and youth agencies nationwide.
