About your course

Mindfulness and Compassion Based Meditation Teacher Training Diploma

A heart-centred, trauma-informed training for those ready to deepen their own practice and learn to guide others through developing a mindfulness practice. Life Practice Academy is delighted to offer a developed edition of our Meditation Teacher Training Diploma.

After 15 years of personal practice and professional experience teaching and training groups, we feel the need to bring a more heart-based and compassion-centred approach to mindfulness teaching.

This approach places the wisdom of the body at the heart of the practice. 

Grounded in a trauma-informed lens, this training invites you to connect with the innate wisdom of the body. You will learn how to be truly present within it and to recognise and receive the guidance it sends through you.

You'll explore the practice of self-resourcing. Learning to give yourself what you need, when you need it and develop the skill of listening intently to the body, rather than fighting against it.

We arrive here by using the two wings of our mindfulness practice: presence and compassion. Together, these two wings allow you to build a genuine relationship with the body, and to establish an ongoing conversation with its wisdom. This diploma is for practitioners ready to teach from lived embodied experience rather than technique 


Upon completion, you'll be qualified to teach mindfulness and compassion-based meditation with a trauma-informed, body-centred approach. We promise to leave you confident in your ability to safely facilitate mindfulness and compassion practices with both individual clients and groups.
