Ideal for therapists, coaches, and facilitators who desire to add a powerful technique to their professional toolbelt, and for individuals who wish to work with their own ‘demons’ through contemplative practice. The Feeding Your Demons® Full Certification program offers a profoundly effective method for recognizing and transforming the deep-seated patterns, triggers, and neuroses that so often undermine the quality and enjoyment of our lives.

The Feeding Your Demons® Full Certification Program is a three-level training program culminating in an online Capstone Retreat. Through compelling content and practice assignments, participants engage in a journey of increasing levels of personal transformation and an ever-deepening understanding of the power of the FYD process. For successful certification candidates, the training results in becoming authorized to use the method to help others on their path. This program is offered in both Buddhist and Secular Tracks, and this program is the Buddhist Track.

Who is it for?

• Mental health professionals, life coaches, substance abuse or guidance counselors, spiritual mentors, social workers, or anyone whose work is dedicated to helping, healing, or empowering others.

Program Details

• The Full Certification program consists of FYD Level I, FYD Level II, and the FYD Certification Level (A $650 discount applies when signing up for the Full Certification).
