Jules has developed a fantastic course, covering so many modules which hugely resonated with me as a HSP - from learning about the trait itself and a framework for coaching; covering topics such as internal family systems and parts work, the shadow and self-compassion; to developing one’s niche as a coach and marketing skills.

Simple summary - Highly recommended ! This course is absolutely amazing and well written where Jules brings her knowledge from teaching background and compiles her in-depth understanding of spiritual aspects to bring together a framework, which works ! There are plenty of options to choose from in terms of joining live sessions or taking them offline. More importantly I would recommend this course for anyone wanting to help a HSP. Her work is transformational and content perfectly detailed to provide the answers !

It was really a wonderful and enriching experience to join the Highly Sensitive Human Academy for the coaching course and I really recommend it. Having a community to share and understand sensitivity further made a huge difference in my own practice and I really loved this aspect of the experience. I would also add that the content of the course is deep, well organised and Jules is a wonderful teacher.
