As a meditation practitioner, you already have a deep commitment to healing and growth. Many of you also have a commitment to supporting others on their journey - perhaps as a teacher, parent, community organizer or mental health professional. You understand the power of mindfulness, compassion, and presence. But have you ever felt called to take your practice and your ability to serve others to a deeper level? Have you wondered how to bring the profound, transformative effects of meditation into your work or personal life in a more intentional and impactful way?
This is your moment. My Awakened Heart Meditation Teacher Training is designed for you – the passionate guide, the dedicated healer, and the compassionate leader.
If you’ve ever thought, “What’s next in my journey of service?” or “How can I deepen my practice and help others do the same?” then this training was created with you in mind.
Why You?
Whether you are a yoga teacher, mental health professional, community organizer, or someone with a dedicated meditation practice, you already hold a unique space in the lives of others. You understand the importance of creating safe, supportive spaces for growth. This training is perfect for those of you who:
Hold space for others – You’re already a guide in your field, and you’re looking for ways to enrich your toolbox, infuse your practice with more depth, and offer new techniques for transformation. Whether you teach yoga or therapy, host community events, or simply meditate daily, you’re in a position to support others in a meaningful way—and meditation can be a powerful addition to your work.
Value connection and mindfulness – As a yoga teacher or mental health professional, you know the importance of presence and creating a non-judgmental space for people to heal and grow. The Awakened Heart Meditation Teacher Training deepens your ability to stay centered, attuned, and compassionate. This training brings the practice of meditation into your daily life and expands your capacity to guide others through profound self-awareness and healing.
Crave more depth and understanding – As a practitioner, you know the difference that a transformative, heart-centered practice can make. You seek to share this deeper experience with others but may wonder how to guide them on that journey. This training is about awakening the power of the heart and learning how to guide others into their own deep connection with themselves, helping them open to their full potential.
Seek to lead with authenticity – You’re committed to showing up as your true self in all your work. You understand that to be a true guide, you need to cultivate your own inner strength and wisdom. This training is a path to deepen your understanding of your own heart, your own mindfulness, and your own capacity for healing. It is an opportunity to become the kind of teacher who leads from a place of real lived experience and authentic presence.
Why Now?
The world is in a time of rapid change, uncertainty, and emotional unrest. People are facing immense pressure, mental health crises are at an all-time high, and many are searching for ways to reconnect with themselves, others, and the world around them. In all of this, you have the opportunity to meet this moment with profound impact.
The Awakened Heart Meditation Teacher Training is not just a way to deepen your practice, but a way to respond to this moment of crisis with empathy, compassion, and wisdom. Now, more than ever, the world needs teachers who can guide others toward healing and inner peace—teachers who can hold space for deep awakening.
By becoming a certified meditation teacher, you will:
Offer Healing in Times of Crisis – The need for grounding, self-awareness, and mindfulness is critical in this chaotic world. As a meditation teacher, you can offer a steadying hand, helping others build emotional resilience and clarity.
Transform the Lives of Others – Meditation is one of the most powerful tools for reducing stress, increasing emotional intelligence, and developing mindfulness. Through this training, you’ll be equipped to teach these practices to people who need them the most: your clients, students, children, colleagues, and community members.
Expand Your Service – Whether you're a therapist, yoga instructor, teacher or organizer, meditation is a natural extension of your work. By teaching meditation, you can offer a deeper layer of support to those you serve, helping them unlock inner peace, resilience, and a greater sense of purpose.
Lead with a Heart-Centered Approach – We’re moving away from simply “fixing” people’s problems and toward a more holistic, compassionate approach to healing. In this training, you’ll explore meditation techniques that help people connect with their hearts and the hearts of others, promoting unity, kindness, and compassion.

“Of course we can always imagine more perfect conditions, how it should be ideally, how everyone should behave. But it is not our task to create an ideal. It’s our task to see how it is, and to learn from the world as it is.
For the awakening of the heart, conditions are always good enough.”
