Is this course for you?

Highly Sensitive People experience the world deeply, often feeling a profound connection to both beauty and suffering. Many of us carry grief related to unmet childhood needs, rejected parts of ourselves, and the deep sorrow we feel for our planet. We often long for connection, purpose, and a sense of belonging that modern society does not provide. However, instead of being supported in this emotional depth, we’re often told to "get over it" or return to being "productive" as quickly as possible.

This course is designed to honor your sensitivity and the unique way HSPs process grief, shadow, and soul work. By tending to our grief, engaging with our shadow, and embracing the sacred, we can access deeper joy, transformation, and healing—not only for ourselves but also for the collective.

What You Will Learn

I invite you to come on an explorative journey honouring your wounds, welcoming home your disowned parts, connecting with the soul and the sacred to cultivate space for transformation. On this transformative journey, we will:

  • Tend to your grief: Move beyond the idea that grief needs to be fixed or overcome quickly. Instead, learn how to stay in relationship with your grief, honoring it as a gateway to healing.

  • Engage with your shadow: Reclaim the disowned parts of yourself and explore your personal "shadow" for deeper self-awareness and transformation.

  • Connect with your soul: Through sacred rituals, creative expression, and mindfulness, you will cultivate a connection to your soul's calling and life purpose.

  • Alchemize collective grief: Learn how to carry the weight of the world’s suffering in an empowered way, transforming it into a force for healing rather than allowing it to overwhelm you.

Testimonials

“After working many years as a yoga and meditation instructor along with being a clinical health coach, I began focusing specifically on working with highly sensitive people who experience anxiety. I was excited when I saw the professional training for coaching highly sensitive people, because I was already interested in holistic and integrative approaches to our health and wellbeing. This course offered me the opportunity to connect and build professional relationships with other HSP coaches, while honing my coaching skills using a transpersonal approach. It has provided me with a very practical tool box full of introspective practices I can share with my HSP clients as well as increasing my confidence in coaching. This is a great course for anyone interested in contemplative practices and learning more about the many different aspects of yourself as an individual as well as helping other HSPs do the same! ”

“I already feel a lot more confident having a clearer mental structure on the topic, knowing which tools to use for what, where I still want to work on and also some metaphors that help me value our gift of sensitivity. So thank you Jules for all this great content, this is even better than I expected and is good for me to work on myself”

Chris

“​ "I am so deeply grateful for your work Jules and that of Dr Elaine Aron. You've enabled me to not only accept my sensitivity but to really explore what my traits are telling me. I'm realizing that I am struggling to find the words to describe how I feel; my whole world seems to have opened up"”

Community Member

“Jules is wonderful in the sense that, she holds the space for everyone, honouring each person’s process, allowing the transformation to occur slowly, silently, and soothingly. She is a caring, warm and sincere person who puts her heart and soul into helping people through their self-healing”

Course Member

“The 3-Month Professional Training on Coaching Highly Sensitive People was a very professional and well-designed course. The resources were full of practical information and they were also visually appealing. I enjoyed the sense of community created between the other course members, and the live trainings were very helpful.”

Course Participant

“Jules takes the time to guide each person through their journey of self-discovery. She helped me connect with my intuition and what my soul was actually looking for”

“Before I discovered Highly Sensitive Humans and Jules' work I often felt alone in my experience. I knew I wanted to help other people similar to me - but I had no idea where to start! Since going through the content I've learned what tools I can use for all the different struggles that HSP face. I feel confident in holding space for others and most importantly I no longer feel alone in my experience as an HSP”

Adam

“I enjoyed this course tremendously. I learned a lot from taking this course with Jules De Vitto. It definitely is money well spent as it not only helps one in a professional way but also in personal self-development.”

Maggie Kelly - The Unstoppable HSP

“Jules is a wonderful teacher and has been supportive and available throughout. Before I joined the course I had no clear direction but now am firmly on the path to using my own innate gifts to be a coach with a focus around HS children. As someone who’s only recently learned that I’m highly sensitive and high sensation seeker (again a whole new revelation to me) having chance to connect with other people who also experience the world in this unique way has been amazing and extremely validating and will hopefully be ongoing. ”
