Academy for Mindful Teaching International - Method Eline Snel

Every parent wants to be truly present for their child. But in the rush of everyday life, that sense of connection is often one of the first things to disappear.

As a professional working with parents and families, you may see this every day.

The Mindful Parenting Trainer course prepares you to support parents with practical mindfulness skills, greater awareness and more confidence in their parenting. After completing the training, you will be equipped to lead the 8-week Mindfulness in Parenting programme, rooted in the Eline Snel Method, for parents of children aged 4 to 16.

The course is designed for professionals who already work with parents or families and have their own experience with mindfulness.

🗓 Starts 28 November 2026
📍 Leusden, with trainer Mirjam Blok
🇳🇱 Taught in Dutch

✨ SPOTLIGHT ON OUR TEAM AND TRAINERS #3✨

In the third post of our Spotlight series, we're delighted to introduce Anouk.

With a background in Montessori primary education, Anouk combines her experience as a classroom teacher with her passion for mindfulness.

She supports children, adolescents and parents through her own practice and continues to teach mindfulness in her classroom.

What inspires her most? Helping children develop greater awareness, resilience and inner calm in an increasingly busy world.

For Anouk, mindfulness is much more than a programme. It is a way of being.

Curious about bringing a mindfulness training that is both playful and profound to the children you work with?
