WHAT'S IN THE TEACHER TRAINING COURSE
HERE'S HOW THE WEEKS UNFOLD:
Advanced learning: The Mindful Parenting course! When you enroll, you become a Mindful Parenting member where you go through the modules online with the support of the membership before we start meeting as a teacher training group. The membership is included in your tuition.
Part 1: Online Mindful Parenting Concepts Review. During the first portion, we review the concepts of Mindful Parenting. We refresh and remember the eight weeks of course material. Each module will be assessed so that you have a clear understanding of where you are with the material. Online, weekly, 90-minute sessions.
Part 2: Training Workshop: teaching the teacher. This intensive learning workshop will cover everything you need to know to teach the class in person. It will follow a learn-by-doing model. The workshop consists of discussion, skill-building exercises, group activities and practice teaching. This workshop is designed for those who will be teaching either on their own in their community, through an agency, private practice. Online, weekly, 90-minute sessions.
Part 3: In-Person Practicum in your community. The months following the Training Workshop are designated for teaching your practice teaching class. This can be a paid or unpaid Mindful Parenting class that you teach in your local community. You will be coached through your teaching through meetings with Hunter. At the end of the practicum, you will receive your certification.
MINDFUL PARENTING MODULES:
MINDFUL PARENTING FRAMEWORK:
Mindful Parenting teaches parents how to create calm and cooperation based on a framework of the intersection of Mindfulness, Self-Compassion, and Skillful Communication.
WHAT PEOPLE HAVE SAID
HERE'S WHAT PAST MINDFUL PARENTING TEACHER TRAINEES SAY:
"The Mindful Parenting Teacher Training exceeded my expectations. I appreciated the thorough overview of the course before having the opportunity to practice teaching. Hunter remained encouraging throughout the whole training process and the other teacher trainers offered a supportive learning environment.
I started leading my practicum as soon as my training finished and felt completely prepared to start teaching. I’m confident in my ability to lead others through the Mindful Parenting course and thoroughly enjoy sharing these teachings with my community.
My favorite part of teaching Mindful Parenting is when I see the practices that made such a big difference in my life begin to make a difference in the lives of others. It's the best!
I would absolutely recommend this training program to others. In fact, I already have! The Mindful Parenting Teacher Training course offers all you need to run a successful class, including a detailed teacher manual, online course material, a community of other teachers, 1-1 support from Hunter, practice teaching opportunities, and a class focused on business training.
Unlike some of the other training programs out there, you will finish this course feeling prepared and ready to start teaching right away!"
—Lauren Drain
"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."
— Erin Grey
"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."
—Nina Visic
"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."
—Heidi Garcia
"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."

March 2024-March 2025
For the past 20 years, I’ve successfully helped thousands of stressed-out parents to develop mindful parenting skills and create peaceful, cooperative families. I coach parents, and I’m host of the popular Mindful Parenting podcast, and the author of Raising Good Humans: A Mindful Guide to Breaking the Cycle of Reactive Parenting and Raising Kind, Confident Kids and Raising Good Humans Every Day: 50 Simple Ways to Press Pause, Stay Present, and Connect with Your Kids.
But I’m not perfect. When my oldest was little, my temper was triggered every day. Her screaming would push me to the limit and I'd burst. Later I'd be in a puddle of tears, wracked with guilt. As a mom, I felt like I was failing at the most important job of my life.
Parenting books had great advice that I couldn’t implement when I was at my boiling point.
I dug into mindfulness, which helped me chill out. But it didn’t help me find the right words to say to get through to my child — without making everything worse.
Ultimately, this work came together because I realized that one without the other was incomplete. I needed both. The moms who I work with with needed both. Mindfulness and skillful communication are the two wings that allow us to fly.
