Register Now So You Don't Miss Out
Do you have a patient suffering from chronic pain, depression, or anxiety?
I am about to show you a technique that when skillfully applied can significantly improve the outcome of your work.
You may have seen our recent video that thousands of practitioners watched. Cheryl, a physician assistant from the rural arctic shared the story of her experience using mindfulness practices with a patient.
This patient had lost several of her children in a natural disaster and was being medevaced out for cardiac problems that turned out to be panic attacks.
Cheryl reported the transformation that her patient experienced – because of mindfulness practice she is no longer medevaced out for panic attacks and for the first time is able to go to bed without fear.
When I heard Cheryl’s story, I knew I had to share it with you.
It gets to the heart of why I feel it’s so important to equip practitioners with mindfulness tools and techniques.
Over the last five years, hundreds of practitioners have taken the course that I’m about to show you. But first, let's look at the extent of this simple technique’s potential.
Scientific evidence shows mindfulness to be helpful with:
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Cancer and serious illness
- Depression
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome
- Anxiety
- Chronic Pain
- Insomnia
- Grief
More than that, mindfulness can transform the brain
Many of us work with patients who suffer daily from debilitating pain. What if you had a way to skillfully introduce and teach a practice that could bring relief to your patient’s suffering? Imagine the impact that relief from chronic pain could have on your patient, their spouse, and even their children.
A few years back, the research was just getting started - evidence was hearsay, and there was no way of knowing for sure if mindfulness practice was truly making the difference that so many patients were reporting.
However, we now know that mindfulness practice:
- Significantly reduces the experience of pain, including chronic pain
- Correlates with reduced feelings of burnout and increased stress resilience
- Decreases the frequency and severity of IBS symptoms, insomnia, sexual dysfunction, and other stress-related medical problems
- Decreases fatigue and symptoms of depression with both MS and cancer patients
- Increases the brain waves associated with neural integration and well-being
- Improves attention, learning, and memory
And that's only the tip of the iceberg in this exploding field. But how can this powerful practice make a difference with your patients?
We know how busy most practitioners feel.
That’s why we created this program – to give you the same life-enhancing techniques that have been developed over thousands of years and have recently been adapted by clinicians around the world.
- Through 8 weeks of focused content you'll save time by learning exactly what you need to know to be most effective.
- Because it is delivered via the internet, you’ll be able to fit lessons into a time that works for your schedule.
- By practicing each step before moving on to the next, you'll gain the confidence you need to implement what you're learning.
- Through specially-designed interactive training, you'll learn when not to use mindfulness practice with your patient.
- By asking questions about your patients, you will accelerate the time it takes to safely and effectively implement these strategies into your work.
- By using the course message boards you’ll get the insights and feedback of a rich community of practitioners.
- Through expert guidance you’ll develop ways to introduce mindfulness techniques with your specific patients.
- As you learn from Dr. Siegel’s decades of experience, you’ll get strategies to tailor mindfulness practices to patients of diverse backgrounds.
- What's more, you can reap the benefits of meditation in your own life - meditators report an increased sense of well-being, not to mention greater stress resilience and deeper empathy in both professional and personal relationships.
Featuring Ronald Siegel, PsyD, Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychology at Harvard Medical School, internationally-renowned teacher, long-time student of mindfulness meditation, and author of The Mindfulness Solution.

"Prior to taking this course, Mindfulness was something 'other' people did - now I am one of those 'other' people! This was also my first experience of online training and at no time during the course did I feel either alone, or online. The course was enjoyable, informative, stimulating, challenging and well structured. Ron Siegel is a great tutor - I really appreciated his humour and the manner in which he delivered the mindfulness material. Without wanting to sound corny, the course has had a massive impact on me, at both a personal and professional level."
Simone Cross, MSc in Psychotherapy,
Psychotherapist
Verchaix, France
"This course was a great introduction to the principles of mindfulness and provided simple exercises that helped me learn how mindfulness can be applied to psychotherapy. I would recommend the course to anyone who desires a good overview of mindfulness and psychotherapy. The conversations with fellow classmates were also very helpful and insightful."

Hear What Past Students Have Experienced:
"Dr Siegel's class has provided a solid base from which to practice Mindfulness-based Psychotherapy with confidence. The evidence based class was excellent and worth every minute."

"Ron is the most gifted teacher of mindfulness I have ever had the pleasure of learning from. I have an extensive background and training in mindfulness, and Ron's way of being and approach to mindfulness still contributed greatly to my use of mindfulness practice with my patients as well as in my personal life."
Ed Glauser, M.Ed.
Athens , GA
"Ron's mindfulness techniques for clients were extremely helpful, but even more significant were the changes that occurred in my own life following his Mindfulness and Psychotherapy on-line course. I began a regular meditation practice during the course. Sitting and listening to the busyness in my own head made me realize that it was time for some major changes. I attended a week-long retreat, and entered an 18-month Mindfulness Training Program, and shifted my career. Of course, all of this is an on-going process, but I believe that I'm now living the life I want with mindfulness & gratitude."
