Learning Goal

You will gradually learn all the essential aspects of vegetative functional diagnostics. Starting from the basics of biosignal processing and the transformation of the raw data into the various software analysis systems, up to the concrete application to the client in all areas of modern lifestyle and stress medicine. You recognize all the essential intervention and optimization potentials of your clients and know how to react to different analysis constellations

Preconditions

The prerequisite for the first two online modules is an interest in one’s own health. For the advanced modules, including the final examination, a completed vocational training and professional experience in the fields of health, counselling or coaching are required.

Scope

Module 1: In a total of 90 minutes, 10 videos provide an introduction, the most important basics of HRV, patterns and first sample measurements.

Module 2: 30 videos in just under 4 hours shed light on all the essential backgrounds of HRV. The five software parts will be explained in detail and you will learn the principles of HRV pattern recognition. Everything about sleep, sports and stress is explained in detail.

Module 3: In 60 short videos with a total running time of 9 hours, not only the last “secrets” of HRV are revealed, they are explained in detail using 28 sample measurements from the categories “High Performance HRV, Good Life, Stress, Unhealthy Lifestyle” and “Pathologies”. Furthermore, there is comprehensive material on the subject of “burnout”.

The interactive part offers a special highlight: Everything that is still needed for successful coaching – including type analysis with HRV – is dealt with in the interactive coaching sessions via Zoom.

Module 4 – the practical transfer: The gateway to the certified HRV professional – the qualification for the examination: Protocols of 10 sample measurements based on a defined procedure must be prepared.
