"I absolutely loved being part of the MPTT program, not only did I get to deepen my Mindful Parenting skills in an intimate group, I also got to teach this way of parenting to my community, win-win! "

— Natalie Ventura

"By working through the MPTT program week after week, I was able to apply the skills to my life daily and learn how to explain the principles and skills to others in my community.

Hunter’s program is very approachable. I looked forward to the session each week and made friends that I still talk to frequently.

Hunter is very supportive and offers all of the preparation and materials that you need to continue to spread the word of mindful parenting after you complete the course. I am very happy that I took the course and I would tell anyone who is on the fence about signing up that you should definitely do it and you will not regret it."

"The Mindful Parenting Teacher Training program has been amazing! When I first began, I was feeling a bit apprehensive about whether I would feel confident enough to be able to train other parents in these skills, when I hadn't even mastered the skills myself. Hunter put me at ease immediately and made me realize that I don't have to be an expert - I just have to be a 'good enough parent'.

The group bond that we teacher trainees (and Hunter) had from the get go created an environment of warmth, acceptance, respect and admiration. Each of us has grown and learnt from one another. Being connected to other like minded parents all over the world also helps to see the bigger picture and why this program is so vital for many parents.

The way that the program is presented aligns perfectly to the Mindful Parenting Program itself. Having the opportunity to present real course content to the group was gratifying and really helped to build my confidence.

I would 100% recommend someone take part in the program - not only will they learn how to train other parents in these skills, but they will gain an even greater understanding of the core concepts underlying the program. I feel like my knowledge and confidence have increased 10 fold since completing the program."

"As the eldest child, mother of two adult daughters and a grandmother, my MPTT experience was a unique generational journey that represented the ageless relevance of Raising Good Humans as a guide for repairing and restoring ruptured relationships throughout the lifespan. Mindful Parenting is a love language all on its own."

— Kimberly Nelson

"I really enjoyed the Teacher Training course! Preparing to teach made me commit to my meditation practice even more, which has had a positive impact on my life and my parenting. It also provided me with the motivation to go deeper into some topics that were on my perpetual "to learn" list so that I could really understand the material and integrate it into my own parenting philosophy in preparation for teaching the course.

Also, I really appreciated that we always started by focusing on the positive in our "constructive criticism" sections during the practice part of the training; it helped me not to approach my areas for growth from a place of lack.

Finally, my classmates have been wonderful. Most of us continue to meet weekly for support and accountability as we prepare for our practicums.

I definitely recommend the program. What I would say to someone on the fence is to just do it. Chances are good that you will leave the experience with a greater desire to spread this style of parenting (and living) to others. But even if you decide that teaching the material isn't right for you in the long run, the growth you will likely experience in your meditation practice, confidence, and parenting skills are worth the price."

"The MPTT program enriched my understanding of mindful parenting, my practice of it, and my ability to teach those techniques. Hunter is a highly skilled mindful parenting coach who is warm, compassionate, and experienced. She integrates her training with her real-world experience as a parent to make the curriculum so effective.

I highly recommend the training to anyone interested in deepening their skills & teaching the course to other parents. "

— Linda Pogetti 

"I'm a licensed clinical social worker and have my own private practice where I specialize in perinatal mental health. 

The MPTT program felt really nurturing and supportive. Hunter, you were so available and real, and I just loved working with you from beginning to end.

The thing that's really beautiful is how there's form, there's guidance, there's scripted pieces, so you're not wondering, “what do I say here?” You don't have to reinvent the wheel. I's all there for us. That's part of the benefit of becoming a teacher trainee is that you get to have access to that. I think that's huge.

It's been completely life enhancing - this whole process of the teacher training."

"I took Hunter’s Mindful Parenting Teacher Training in the 2020-2021 cohort.
It was the best thing I’ve done for my parenting and myself since becoming a
mom in 2014. The weekly meetings with Hunter and my fellow MPTT moms
were such a boost to my week. Being with like-minded parents was so
affirming to me. With Hunter’s encouragement I gained the skills to teach this
course to other parents.

Hunter is so approachable, real and truly skillful in her own parenting and
helping us apply these skills in our daily life. I’ve really internalized reflective
listening, I-messages and slowing down to be mindful in my day to day life.
Since diving into the Mindful Parenting Training, I have taught two 8-week
Mindful Parenting courses. I gave a talk at my local library, spoke at a parent
night at an elementary school and offered Mindfulness in the Garden for
parents and kids this past summer. Another highlight has been leading
coaching calls for Hunter. I am looking forward to the next parenting cohort I
will teach.

Each week, I looked forward to being with my MPTT group. It was the high
point of my week. This past weekend, I was in touch with 3 of the women from
my cohort group. We created a What’s App group to keep up with one another.
We have occasionally Zoomed to meet up together but also encourage one
another with messages, parenting ideas and reach out to one another when
things get tough. After I completed the training, doing my practicum and
teaching the classes was a highlight of my week.

If you are considering this teacher training, then tune into your inner child and
your inner parent! There is something about it that is calling to you. I invite
you to listen to your heart and be clear about what you have gained from the
Mindful Parenting course thus far. You will hone your parenting skills, gain
confidence and learn how to teach these skills to other parents. It has been the best thing I’ve done for my parenting and I am already sharing this with other moms and dads.
