Professional Training Program in Mind-Body Medicine
Our Professional Training Program in Mind-Body Medicine (PTP) teaches more than a dozen practical techniques for self-care and mutual support.
Participants will attend lectures on the latest research in mind-body medicine and experience our pioneering Mind-Body Skills Groups. In these groups, they will practice a variety of techniques to reduce stress and enhance self-awareness, mobilize their imagination and intuition, and develop their capacity for self-care. They can then share what they have learned with in their workplaces, schools, homes, and communities.
This program is the first step in becoming certified in Mind-Body Medicine.

Is ‘life changing’ an overstatement? I think not. This was, hands down, the best professional training I have done in all my years in the field. It was the perfect balance between science, learning, and experiencing.
This training is powerful, and the world needs it. If there could be a stronger realization about the many ways in which people are suffering, along with the adoption of these deceptively simple healing techniques, the impact would be life-changing.
In a fast-paced world where constant motion is the norm, this training provided a valuable opportunity to pause, introspect, and reemerge with newfound skills to navigate life.
FAQs
Is this training online or in person?
Right now, our trainings are offered 100% online. As we plan future programs, we are continuing to evaluate resuming in-person trainings.
I have lots of experience with mind-body medicine. Can I take the Advanced Mind-Body Medicine training right away?
Advanced Training is opened only to those who have completed the initial Mind-Body Medicine Professional Training Program. Sorry—no exceptions!
Can I attend half/part of the program?
No. Because this is a training program, not a conference, we ask for a commitment from you to attend the entire training program, including all didactic and group sessions.
