The Mind/Body Medicine Specialist™ works with clients in a fitness facility, corporate setting, or at their homes to provide Stress Management Exercise Prescriptions™ and mind/body programs™ for individuals who have severe, acute, and chronic stress. The individuals you work with may or may not have a chronic disease due to stress. As a Mind/Body Medicine Specialist™, you are trying to decrease stress levels before an individual shows signs of wear and tear on the body and organs by incorporating stress management exercise guidelines and integrative wellness modalities™ into the client's Mind/Body programs™. If a client has a chronic disease due to stress, you are working with the client to decrease their stress levels before they experience a flare-up.
Mind/Body Medicine Specialists™ will initiate our R.E.L.A.X.™ program by conducting a Mind/Body Zone™ assessment, which will enable you to analyze, assess, and classify individuals according to their fitness and stress levels. The evaluation includes anthropometric measurements, a classic fitness assessment, filling out forms that will help you understand the client's quality of life, stress level, and DNA testing to give you a more in-depth look into the client's overall level of fitness and health. Please note that clients do not have to order a DNA kit to be part of our R.E.L.A.X.™ program.
As the Mind/Body Fitness Practitioner™, you would then work with your client to create a Mind/Body program™ which includes: Stress Management Exercise Prescription™, stress management coaching, mind/body art™, small group training, chronic disease self – management skill training, meditation, Shakti training, breathwork, aromatherapy, health behavior techniques, energy work, nutrition, aspects of traditional Chinese medicine that can be safely incorporated into one on one sessions, group fitness classes or small group training sessions with clients, AccuRolling™, NeuRoll Calm™ health promotion, somatic movement exercises that use meridian energy, Makka Ho Stretches, and much more.

Holistic Group Fitness Instructor™ Course
$649.00 or $93.33 for six months
Robyn Kade, MA, CHWC, CHES, MBMFS, cpt
For Certified Group Fitness Instructors
(Includes instruction on group fitness for stress management)
The Stress Management Institute for Health and Fitness Professionals™ has updated the group fitness instructor's role in the 21st century to meet the needs of today's society. Many times, individuals at a gym will only take group fitness classes. In this case, the group fitness instructor may be the only fitness professional with whom the individual regularly comes into contact. We needed to evolve the Holistic Group Fitness Instructor™ into more of a practitioner role. This new generation of group fitness instructors is called upon to work more closely with Mind/Body Medicine Specialists™, Holistic Stress Management Consultants™, and the medical community. Holistic Group Fitness Instructors™ will offer our mind/body group fitness classes and other mind/body modalities to their class participants in a group or private setting.
We have incorporated a Mind/Body Zone assessment™ so the Holistic group fitness instructor™ can better understand their class participant's quality of life and stress levels. We also give you access to some of the DNA tests through Toolbox Genomics so you can work with class participants on a deeper level. Only certified fitness professionals can conduct our full fitness assessment. Before taking classes, knowing your class participant's stress levels and disease history can help you understand how to create specialized classes for your students. Once you have this information, we will teach you how to choose exercises and techniques that can specifically help each individual while instructing in a group or private setting.
Holistic Group Fitness Instructors™ will learn how to incorporate eastern and western modalities and techniques into their group classes and private sessions such as Mind/Body Myofascial Release™, AccuRolling™, Neuroll Calm™, Mindful Stretch™, health promotion, Mind/Body Art™, aromatherapy, and somatic exercises that use qi or energy that flows through the meridians of the body. The Holistic Group Fitness Instructor ™ will be using their new skill set within their group fitness classes and private sessions.

For anyone who would like to work with individuals who have acute, severe, or chronic stress. (Does NOT include any exercise instruction)
The Holistic Stress Management Consultant™ plays an integral role in the Mind/Body Medical and Wellness Continuum of Care™ by working with clients outside of the fitness setting. As a practitioner, you are meeting with clients to help them prevent or cope with chronic disease due to stress by developing Mind/Body programs™, which include: stress management coaching, mind/body art™, aromatherapy, breathwork, meditation, energy work, chronic disease self-management training, Shakti training, health promotion, and behavior change. You will also learn to host affordable retreats to retain clients you already have while marketing to new individuals.
The Holistic Stress Management Consultant™ will administer the Mind/Body Zone Assessment™ to better understand their client's quality of life and stress levels. We also give you access to some of the DNA tests through Toolbox Genomics so you can work with clients on a deeper level. Only certified fitness professionals can conduct our full fitness assessment.
As a practitioner, you can refer clients to certified fitness professionals and group fitness instructors to give them a well-rounded program. If you do not have a Mind/Body Fitness Practitioner™ to refer to, you may give the fitness professional general recommendations on working with your stressed client. Please note that you must re-take the course that you choose every three years at a reduced fee as we update the information in the courses regularly. The re-certification fee is $79.00 every three years.

The Cancer Exercise Specialist® Advanced Qualification was developed for health and fitness professionals seeking to attain a higher level of mastery and work with cancer patients during and after cancer surgery and treatment and into survivorship. Participants will gain a complete understanding of the entire cancer process from diagnosis and treatment to reconstruction and survivorship. Our unique and individualized programming will help to improve the patient’s ability to cope with the mental and physical stress following cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Our comprehensive programming covers 26 types of cancer, as well as pediatrics, with special emphasis on breast cancer and breast reconstruction. We provide two methods for obtaining your Advanced Qualification: home study and live in-person or virtual workshops. The Cancer Exercise Training Institute has trained more health and fitness professionals worldwide to become Cancer Exercise Specialists® than any other organization. Andrea Leonard, 37-year cancer survivor, PFP 2019 Personal Trainer of the Year, author of “Essential Exercises for Breast Cancer Survivors,” NASM Corrective Exercise Specialist and Performance Enhancement Specialist, ACE Certified Personal Trainer, and President/Founder of the Cancer Exercise Training Institute began her extensive research in 1995; long before anyone had ever heard of “cancer exercise.” She spent three years working on Essential Exercises with the chiefs of breast surgery at Georgetown, George Washington, and Johns’ Hopkins University Hospital Medical Centers.
Realizing there was a need to assist patients with many types of cancer, Andrea expanded her research and writing to cover a broader spectrum. She is truly a pioneer in the field of cancer and exercise and has paved the way for other organizations to follow.
