About Me

My name is Michelle Boulanger and I am the owner and Authorized Licensed Training Provider  for Heart Start Training Institute, LLC. 

I am a mother of 2, a wife, a teacher, an amateur artist and an adventure-lover. I reside in Plainville, CT and have lived here for over 16 years.

 

Full time, I am a public school educator and I have been teaching high school Physical Education and Health for 19 years. I have a true passion for preparing my students for life outside of high school. Whether it be the skills needed for career-building, physical fitness, financial stability, mental health, or first aid and safety, my number one goal is to have each and every student leave high school with the skills and knowledge necessary to live a long, happy and healthy life.

 

Throughout my career as a teacher, I have come to realize that basic lifesaving skills, particularly knowing what to do in an emergency situation, are skills that most citizens, children and adults alike, do not encompass. That is why I decided to open Heart Start Training Institute.

 

Here at Heart Start, anyone ages 11 and up can sign up for any of my First Aid & Safety training courses and become certified in multiple first aid skills, including CPR, severe bleeding, choking, AED use, sudden illness, and even babysitting! 

Our courses are designed to be flexible, adaptable and individualized to accommodate your needs. Whether it be scheduling issues, travel, partial certifications, dual certifications, fully online, fully in-person or blended learning, slow-paced, etc., we will meet the needs of each individual and/or group.

​

With the skills and knowledge that my classes will provide you, you can be sure that you

will become a first responder who can save someone's life.
