About me
I founded Cross The Heart Medical Training with a passion for empowering others through life-saving education. With over 15 years of experience working in public housing, I’ve had the opportunity to serve diverse communities and witness the critical importance of preparedness and confidence in emergencies.
My certifications in Phlebotomy and Medical Assistance provided a strong clinical foundation and deepened my commitment to patient care and safety. These experiences inspired me to create a training environment that is practical, engaging, and accessible.
Cross The Heart Medical Training was built on a simple belief: everyone should feel confident in their ability to respond when it matters most.
Our life-saving certification courses
We offer a comprehensive range of certifications designed to equip you with critical skills for emergency situations. Our expert-led training is practical, accessible, and tailored to meet the needs of various groups, from individuals to large organizations. Get certified and be ready to act when it matters most.
BLS Certification
Learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques for adults, children, and infants. This vital course prepares you to respond effectively during a cardiac arrest emergency, providing immediate care until professional medical help arrives.
AED certification
Master the use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to deliver life-saving shocks. Combined with CPR, AED training significantly increases survival rates for victims of sudden cardiac arrest. Be prepared to use this critical device.
BLS certification
Our Basic Life Support (BLS) course is essential for healthcare providers. It covers advanced CPR, AED use, and relieving choking for all ages, focusing on team dynamics and effective resuscitation techniques crucial in medical emergencies.
Heartsaver certification
Designed for the general public, the Heartsaver course provides essential first aid, CPR, and AED skills. Perfect for workplace or community requirements, empowering you to respond to common emergencies with confidence.
This class was such a blessing! First, I would like to say, I have never taken a CPR class before. Honestly, the thought of me being in a situation where someone is choking or unresponsive, is very scary and I wouldn't know what to do. However, after taking this class, and having a wonderful instructor, Nicolette Edmonson, who was very knowledgeable and delivered the information and demonstration so very well, I now have the confidence and know what to do if I would ever find myself in this type of situation. I highly recommend Cross The Heart Medical Training! Thank you so much!
