About the Program:
Learn how to become a fully embodied mindful eating and meditation practitioner and instructor with MB-EAT Teacher Trainer and Mindfulness Meditation Instructor Andrea Lieberstein, MPH, RDN, IMTA CMT-P, MB-EAT-C, RYT.
This comprehensive three month online training program, now in its tenth year, incorporates the latest science and trends in the field, providing training in the practices and approaches of the pioneering Mindfulness-Based Eating Awareness Training Program (MB-EAT), mindfulness meditation, self-compassion and other mindfulness practices as they support the practice of mindful eating and living. MB-EAT is based on NIH funded research,and continues to evolve. It addresses mindless and stress-related eating, emotional eating, disordered eating patterns, and weight concerns so prevalent in our culture through the application of mindfulness based practices. This training provides a weight inclusive approach to mindful eating and living.
Through mindful eating practices, one learns to pay attention to what the body really needs and why, how to experience the full pleasure and taste of food without overeating, and how to release the guilt and struggle so often associated with eating. The approach of inner and outer wisdom, integral to the program, help support each person to make informed, balanced, healthy sustainable choices over a lifetime, while being truly nourished by food and other aspects of their lives on many levels.
You will learn how to become an embodied Mindful Eating and meditation practitioner and instructor.
This course integrates the step by step tools for you to implement and teach the core practices and skills of the research based 12 week MB-EAT outpatient group program to your clients, and additional mindfulness and self-compassion practices, whether through individual sessions or in a group format. The Mindful Eating and MB-EAT tools and principles are invaluable and are easily adaptable to customize to your population to better support your clients and community to deepen a mindful non-diet approach to healthy living.
Foundational to learning to teach these skills to your clients is establishing your own personal mindful eating practice.
Foundational to this online program is the support and guidance to cultivate and deepen your own mindfulness, mindful eating and self-compassion practices, even as you learn to teach these skills to your clients. From a firm personal foundation, you can be the best, most effective, confident and inspired support, coach and guide for your clients' journeys.
