* How did you grow from this training? Upon entering this class, I was a person interested in learning more about teaching meditation, but not clear about what I wanted to do, if anything, with that knowledge. After taking the class, I am a certified and active Insight Timer meditation guide and have plans to do in person and one on one events as well. More specifically, I learned how valuable my literal voice and words were to others and have become comfortable sharing both - not just among friends, neighbors and family, but in the big wide world! * What impact did our sessions have on you personally and professionally? Our diverse group of students quickly became a supportive community and I looked forward to seeing everyone each week. Eileen set a tone of compassion and collaboration with gently high expectations and we all rose to the challenges set before us. We felt equipped to take on increasingly larger challenges and somehow transformed into six wonderful guides! The support amongst us was tremendously safe and buoying. I personally learned that my voice was indeed valuable and unique and could truly do what I most wanted - make a difference in someone’s day, week, life. I also have such a clear vision of what I can offer and how. * Would you recommend this training to a friend? YES - See Below: After considering several meditation guide training programs over the years, when Eileen Rose Miles said she was offering meditation teacher training, my body and mind knew this was the one. I felt I would love to spend time with this outstandingly authentic person who radiates pure love in everything she does. And sure enough these qualities permeated every action, every creation and the running of the whole course. It was so exciting when I got to do my discovery call with Eileen because all of a sudden we jumped from the very limited interaction on the Insight Timer app through chat in live meditations or giving comments after meditation to actually talking to her in real life. She very much wants each student to succeed and sees the best in each of us. The wild thing about Eileen is that in addition to her truly unparalleled pureness and soft kindness (and like I said radiating love), she also has this ability to really get things done and also get the students to get things done. I was surprised how early we were recording meditations and learning the technical audio editing. She made it all so easy with her pre-recorded videos that were just a supplement to the actual course made up of rich and engaging live interactions at least once a week. I looked forward to all of these meetings because they were an opportunity for learning , connection and joy. The people who are drawn to this program are kind, diverse and interesting, and Eileen does a good job in the discovery calls making sure people are a good fit. Eileen thoughtfully and expertly created this meditation teacher training, which she modifies each year with her learning from students. She actively wants to make it better and better and wow, she sure does. The program is so well thought out and executed - her curriculum and pedagogy are some of the best teaching I have ever experienced in my many years as a professional educator. There’s a platform for communication among one another and also holding all the class materials. Each module has videos and documents to support learning everything one would need to be a meditation guide. There was history of meditation and trauma sensitivity, and types of meditation and a tremendous opportunity to practice. There could not have been a more well-rounded approach with all the sensitive elements inside each of these modules. You didn’t have to watch those videos, but it helped to watch them and you would be silly not to take advantage of this golden set of materials. We met as a group each week with Eileen doing gentle teaching, but there was interaction throughout those meetings. There was always time for questions and patience with answers. Eileen really shows up in person and not only during the classes, but also in the peer groups leading with a gentle but clear hand. She unswervingly believes in each student. All of us were her favorite student. Eileen really embraced every student and not only built on their strengths, but also, in the gentlest of ways, gave feedback about areas for growth. The peer group sessions, as promised by Eileen, were the heart of the course. We gathered every other week and Eileen challenged us to expand out of our comfort zones within an environment of love and support. Each time we stretched out of our comfort zones, it felt really big although looking back, the first ones were very small and she calibrated up nicely. So in the beginning, we may just lead an opening in front of each other and by the end we were leading full 15 minute plus meditations, and it was striking beyond belief how much each person grew from the beginning to the end of the course. And we’re still just beginning - it will be cool to see how we all grow. One of the things that really drew me to this class in addition to Eileen‘s aura was the detailed technical support - receiving a microphone from Eileen, learning to use the microphone, learning the Audacity app to edit the meditations, learning how to get on insight timer and other platforms, and going live in front of people on zoom as a graduation activity. The group of guest speakers Eileen secured for our learning was fantastic. At first, I was not wanting to have less of Eileen, but we didn’t have less because they just came and joined the second half of our weekly sessions for some of the sessions. They all added tremendous value, and also helped me see other sides of Eileen through what they said and reflected on. The amount of time and love and effort that Eileen puts into this class shows in the best of ways. When I looked at the price, I also looked at what came with the program and when I did estimates for it all: in addition to all of the materials and the library, 3 private sessions with Eileen (!), all the other group meetings she led, the guest speakers, the support before during and after including an outboarding call with Eileen, a private session with the technical person and group sessions with the technical person…. I don’t think there’s anything she didn’t think of. The opening and closing sessions provided such beautiful bookends to the well structured program in the middle. The closing session was beyond any love letter from Eileen. I don’t want to ruin it for anyone because it was so special, but everyone was so recognized in multiple ways, and the group was recognized, and the fact that Eileen saw each of us so deeply and supported us was just a uniquely beautiful thing in this world.

I’m so grateful I found Eileen’s program. I came in with prior mindfulness training but wanted hands-on experience creating and leading themed meditations, as well as learning how to record and edit them—skills that were completely new to me. As a shy introvert, it can take time for me to feel comfortable being open, and Eileen has a true gift for creating a safe, supportive space where I felt at ease showing up as myself and trusting my own voice. Her recording and editing tutorials were exceptionally clear and detailed, and I now feel confident in the quality of my first few meditations. I would highly recommend this training to anyone looking to build confidence in leading guided meditations or to create professional-quality recordings for Insight Timer or other platforms. Beyond the skills, I’m deeply grateful for the sense of connection and the genuine friendships that grew out of this experience.

From the very first phone call through the start and completion of the 12-week training, Eileen guides you in the most supportive, thoughtful, and empowering way. The weekly classes cover everything you need to know about the foundations of meditation, but it’s the bi-weekly peer groups where the real transformation happens. That’s where the grit lives. The vulnerability. The honest reflection that stretches you just beyond your comfort zone and helps you realize that your voice is your light—and it’s meant to be shared. Eileen has truly thought of everything you need to thrive and be successful. From comprehensive tech training to the early and intentional practice of creating your own meditations, she ensures you’re not just learning—you’re doing. Submitting meditations for feedback builds confidence, clarity, and trust in your inner knowing. This training didn’t just teach me how to guide meditation—it taught me how to own my mind, my thoughts, and my voice. It was deeply life-changing, offering a sense of belonging and the safety to be exactly who we are, led by someone who sees and believes in your own light.

The meditation teacher training program was an amazing experience. I learned to overcome my fear of recording my voice, how to structure a meditation offering, and (do important) how to use technology to record and how to submit to Insight Timer. Eileen has a very warm and welcoming presence that is contagious. She holds a sacred container in group and 1:1 sessions. The guest speakers are carefully curated to enhance the program, and each one brought something unique to the program. If you feel a calling, or even a nudge, you will love this program.

MTT was truly a beautiful experience. Training with Eileen allowed for myself and peers to create a safe space to find our own true voice and purpose within the practice. Over the 12 weeks, I found peace and joy within, this time allowed me to truly flourish. I will be eternally grateful for this journey.

I have taken several of Eileen’s courses over the years and she always delivers a high-level experience with no judgement and a personal touch. Her Meditation Training Training was no exception. I went into the course with an open mind and no clear objectives. I just knew that I loved meditation and I wanted to explore ways to introduce others to its magic. By the end of the training, I had so many ideas for meditations to lead and different avenues I could pursue to share my gift. The variety of modules used was comprehensive from the history of meditation to tips for leading to technology and business arenas. There are also bonus content videos to complement the core coursework. Eileen and Chad have so much knowledge and a passion for what they do. They truly want you to succeed. I felt supported every step of the way. This course gave me the confidence to pursue my dream of using meditation to positively impact others and meet people where they are. It was well worth the investment in time, money, and effort. I was pushed out of my comfort zone in the best way through hands on practice and constructive feedback. My experience can best be summed up by the words of Brianna Pastor: “I will tell you one thing, though. I grew like hell from it.”

I recently completed a 3-month meditation teacher training course with Eileen Miles, and the experience was incredible. This course, focused on equipping us to become confident meditation guides, by diving into the philosophy, techniques, leading from and trusting our hearts. Eileen's approach is both comprehensive and compassionate. Throughout the course, I learned not only the fundamentals of various meditation techniques but also the nuances that make each practice unique and effective for different individuals. Eileen emphasized the importance of understanding the historical and cultural contexts of meditation practices, which added depth to our training. Eileen's teaching style is interactive and she challenged us in the best way to show up even when it felt like nerves were taking over. She encouraged us to explore our own meditation practice, offering personalized feedback that helped me refine my techniques and develop a confident guiding style. On a personal level, have gained a deeper sense of inner compassion which Eileen holds space for so beautifully. Professionally, this course has equipped me with the skills like the technology and getting set up on insight timer is a huge leap in getting my own meditation business started! Along with confidence to lead from the heart to guide others in their meditation journeys. I now feel prepared to create and lead effective meditation sessions, whether for individuals or groups. It has been a wonderful experience. Eileen's expertise, supportive teaching style, and the comprehensive curriculum have provided me with the tools needed to become a skilled and confident meditation guide. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to deepen their own practice and share the benefits of meditation with others.

Meditation Teacher Training was such an incredible experience! Eileen & Chad are both so wonderful, kind, patient, and full of knowledge & support with all things meditation and tech! I wanted to learn more on what I could do with meditation while building the confidence to lead my own meditations on Insight Timer and with live groups. I now have the tools and confidence to keep exploring more with in person and online meditations. Very grateful for this training and met some incredible people! Definitely worth the time and investment, thank you Eileen and Chad!!

Eileen’s Meditation Teacher Training has motivated and inspired me immensely! You can tell each module and meeting held deep intention and care for this practice of leading and guiding meditation. I left this training feeling more educated and self-assured on mindfulness as well as guiding meditations. This training has impacted my life personally and professionally, as I will revisit the knowledge and support that was gained often throughout my everyday life. If you feel called to this training in any sense, I urge you to lean in and give yourself this beautiful opportunity for growth. Honored to have been able to be a part of something so special.

Eileen’s Meditation Teacher Training is absolutely incredible! She, and her husband Chad, held so much space for everyone to learn and grow, while being very encouraging, motivating, supportive and kind. The program is extremely well-thought-out and truly prepared everyone in the program to be an amazing meditation guide. I loved the smaller peer group sessions as well, as they really helped prepare everyone to learn how to guide meditations beautifully. I was nervous to guide meditations and record for Insight Timer, however, after this training, I now feel comfortable, calm, prepared and ready to lead meditations. I highly recommend this program!

This training is comprehensive, thorough yet oh so gentle. I learned foundational principles about meditation itself, which were inspiring. And I now understand the structure and ways to create a meditation that is healing, inclusive and trauma informed. This training gave me the confidence and internal safety to stretch and grow in ways I didn’t know were possible, as a meditation guide. Eileen was born to lead this training. The ways she holds space for beginners, her exceptional example as a meditation guide, and how she unconditionally loves each of us through the process. Eileen is a beacon of light, hope and loving kindness.

When I started this training, I wasn’t even sure what I wanted to get out of it. I just knew I needed to do the next thing and see where the road would take me. I’m in a different place in my life. I’m less finish line focused and more journey conscious. Something in my heart said take this training, and I did. It was more than I could have imagined. Not only am I doing more with meditation teaching than I ever thought I would, I also was able to look inward and face my self doubt with a community of women that are truly inspiring. We all came from different backgrounds and from different places but with loving hearts. I feel so lucky to have gotten to know Eileen and her husband Chad. They are there to guide you, push you beyond your comfort zone , and give you the tools and the confidence to move forward on your next journey, wherever it takes you.

Eileen is such an incredible guide and teacher! I hesitated to join the Meditation Teacher Training but I'm so glad I did. The entire training is well structured and so thoughtful. Eileen gently nudged each of us out of our comfort zones and gave a little more of a push when she needed to, but it was always with so much love and kindness. Of course, I learned all the fundamentals of becoming a meditation guide myself, but the impact of the training goes so far beyond that! Working with Eileen was a truly transformational experience. I am more confident in myself and optimistic in what's ahead than I have been in years. I'm so grateful I had the opportunity to train with Eileen and that I'll get to call her a friend from now on. 💕 If you feel called to join Eileen's Meditation Teacher Training, I can't recommend it enough. Stop listening to your doubts and fears, join it... It will be so worth it!

The Meditation Teacher Training was amazing and I cannot recommend it enough. Eileen and Chad are a great team and created a very thorough and thoughtful training. This training was a catalyst in my journey to self trust and pushed me outside of my comfort zone in the best way. I was able to connect with some amazing women who were very supportive of each other. I’m very thankful to Eileen for her support, encouragement and helping me find my voice.

After discovering Eileen on Insight Timer and following her on Instagram, I was delighted to find out that she was offering teacher training, which was precisely what I needed at the time. This training has taught me a great deal, including how to lead meditation and find my voice with the support of Eileen and the community of women participating in the training. I cannot stress enough how beneficial it has been for me, especially during a difficult period. Following the loss of my mother, I was determined not to fall back into old habits that meditation had helped me overcome. As a result, I fully embraced the training. This immersive journey has proven to be extremely therapeutic, and I will always hold it dear to my heart. It has acted as a guiding light during a dark time, pointing me towards a brighter future.

Embarking on Eileen’s meditation teacher training was like stepping into a world of divine transformation. The program created the perfect atmosphere for self-discovery and growth. Eileen’s profound knowledge and unwavering support was instrumental in nurturing my newfound confidence. Through her guidance, I not only found my voice but also established a thriving meditation business. Her wisdom and mentorship were like gentle breezes, propelling me forward on this transformative path. This experience was a life changing journey, where I not only found my inner voice but also the wings to soar in my meditation teaching journey. Grateful doesn’t begin to express my feelings.

I was called to Eileen’s Meditation Teacher Training to not only deepen my own experience with this healing modality but to become a confident guide & contributor to this space. While we have not quite completed our training, I can already see I will have everything I will need to step into leading, recording, distributing and promoting my work! It’s exciting to have the backing of Eileen and her husband Chad as I discover new possibilities and creation with the offerings I am preparing. Our group as a whole has been so encouraging and it has been such a safe place to practice, learn & grow!

From the moment I met Eileen I could tell she was the real deal. She is here to help you in every way and genuinely wants to see you succeed. Since day one I’ve been blown away by Eileen’s ability to create such a safe and intimate space to learn and practice. The biggest goal of mine was to grow more comfortable with speaking and leading others through meditation. I’ve accomplished this as a direct result of Eileen’s creative group training exercises. I also love that the content has been broad enough to cover all the topics I was in search of, but has in-depth recordings to guide you through the application process. This is great for all the technical stuff! It was important to me that I’d have access to all the content we covered throughout the course and Eileen’s brilliantly bundled everything in a way that is easy to refer back to. My expectations have been completely surpassed. The value exceeds the investment I made by far!
