EcoNidra Teachers Edition

Mindfulness

Being present in the now with kindness and care, non-judgementally, to be able to live life with healthy energy and balance.

Reduce stress and tension symptoms. Learn to relax and cope with stressful events.

Some days may be filled with difficult moments or stressful experiences. You may go through the day on autopilot. You feel restless, anxious or brooding. Are always tired and don't experience much joy.

But what if you could train how to turn off autopilot. Learn to break the patterns of ruminating, stress and tension. And can deal with the stressful events that will sometimes be part of life.

Now is a great time to get started with this.

Afterwards, you will know better how to:

+ reduce psychological and physical symptoms
+ relax
+ cope with stressful events
+ make conscious and purposeful choices
+ increase your energy and self-confidence
+ live life with an increased sense of well-being and pleasure.

“We see each moment as a new beginning, a new opportunity to start over, to tune in, to reconnect.”

Jon Kabat-Zinn

Working with Nathalie

Educator, mentor and behavioral scientist

I am a certified mindfulness trainer, graduated in Social and Behavioral sciences and I am a certified cognitive behavioral therapist. For over 20 years I have worked in (mental) health care and education as a behavioral scientist, school psychologist and family therapist.
Ik ben opgeleid in de basisvaardigheden van trainer voor mindfulness, individuele mindfulness (iMBCT) en mindful parenting.

Calm, self-care, nature and self-compassion are important parts of the work I do. Mindfulness is a beautiful part of this. This scientifically proven method offers a solid way to be more mindful in life with a gentle, non-judgmental outlook and acceptance. By practicing this, learning about recognizing fixed patterns and the effect of stress while also training attention and focus, you can make this way of life your own.

Very down to earth and practical.

What is the investment?

This EcoNidra teacher edition has a special price. Instead of 550 euro it will cost 400 euro per participant.
The invoice will be sent to you as soon as enough participants have registered and it is certain that the training will take place (minimum of 4 participants).

For whom is this not suitable?

You can only register for this special edition if you are in training or have already completed Kat Mertens' EcoNidra training. It does not matter if you have attended mindfulness training before. You are welcome to come and get acquainted with mindfulness or to go deeper into mindfulness.
Because the training is given in Dutch, you can only participate if you have a sufficient understanding of the Dutch language.

Furthermore, the general terms and conditions apply:
The workshop asks for an open mindset. If you are not open to trying a different way of being in life, then the workshop may not be suitable for you at this time. It is also important that you have enough time to practice at home in your daily life.
In addition, you may want to address some specific problems first, such as with therapy or focused coaching. If so, that sometimes takes precedence.

In the intake meeting we can certainly see together whether the training is suitable for you.

About Nathalie, the workshop/training and mentoring, what it is not

I am a (workshop) facilitator, behavioral scientist and mentor. A certified mindfulness trainer and yoga, yoga nidra and econidra facilitator.

I have a master's degree in Social and Behavioral Sciences with additions from psychology, certification in cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness (and member of the necessary professional association NVO) and am therefore qualified to mentor, help and coach children, adolescents and adults.

However, this program is not and cannot be a substitute for specifically focused therapy. Sometimes it is important to address other things first before starting mindfulness training. We can explore together what fits.

If you’re not sure, just let me know and we’ll discuss together whether this offering fits what you’re looking for.

I live too far away, but really want to participate
