MINDFUL EATING TRAINING INSTITUTE (METI) presents

Professional Online Training (MB-EAT): Three Month Mindful Eating, Mindful Living Health Professional Training and Mentoring Program and Registration

      MB-EAT Teacher Trainer: Andrea Lieberstein, MPH, RDN, RYT

           with guest faculty appearances by Jean Kristeller, PhD

Fall Session starting Friday, October 8, 2021

 Our Online Mindful Eating Training and Mentoring Program will provide you with training in the practices and approaches of the Mindfulness-Based Eating Awareness Training Program (MB-EAT) and other mindfulness practices.  MB-EAT was pioneered by Indiana State University professor, Dr. Jean Kristeller, and supported by NIH-funded research. It addresses mindless and stress-related eating, emotional eating, disordered eating patterns and obesity so prevalent in our culture through the application of mindfulness meditation. 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 tools 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 to become an embodied Mindful Eating and meditation practitioner and instructor. This course integrates the step by step tools for you to teach the 12-week MB-EAT Group outpatient program to your clients. These Mindful Eating (MB-EAT) principles are also invaluable to utilize with your clients to integrate into your private practice.

This is a small group training in our virtual classroom using video/audio conference programs with your computer, tablet or Smartphone. It’s like being in a room training together, but from the comfort of your own home or office. Practices and topics introduced include mindfulness meditation, eating exercises, eating meditations, guided visualizations, loving kindness and self-compassion practices, didactic instruction, inquiry method, role playing, tools, weekly home practices, assignments, coaching and self-reflection to cultivate mindful awareness and a more balanced and positive relationship to eating and weight. This training program provides a weight neutral approach.

Upon completion of the training, participants will be qualified to teach the 12-week MB-EAT Group Program to their clients. You will gain personal understanding, experiential learning, and have a new relationship to mindfulness and mindful eating practices. You will also learn to apply a variety of mindfulness and mindful eating practices, information and tools to your clients, both individually and in group settings.

Eligibility to teach the full 12 week MB-EAT outpatient program, as a qualified MB-EAT Instructor, is met upon having a regular Mindfulness Meditation practice of 6 months or more (the 3 months of meditation practice and training during this training program may count towards this requirement), related professional degrees, licensure, registration or certification and professional/clinical experience with eating issues along with some group facilitation experience.
