Stillness as Skill:

Meditation Training for Radical,

Relational Clinicians

September 20 - November 8, 2025

Join nutrition therapist and meditation teacher Jenna Hollenstein, who has spent the past 15 years practicing meditation and studying Buddhist teachings, for a unique training designed specifically for clinicians doing deep, relational work around food, body image, trauma, and healing.

Stillness as Skill is a 7-week, live online course that helps you develop your own grounded meditation practice—one that supports you personally and professionally—and prepares you to offer meditation skillfully and ethically to those you serve.

This is not a generic mindfulness class. It’s a trauma-aware, weight-inclusive training rooted in Buddhist wisdom, neuroscience, and lived experience. You’ll learn how to teach meditation not as an escape from discomfort, but as a way to meet the truth of our embodied lives with clarity, compassion, and care.

Whether you're a dietitian, therapist, or coach, this training will help you show up more fully—for yourself and for the people who count on you.

From Emotional Eating to Intuitive Eating: Reimagine a New Relationship with Food

Emotional eating is a complex, multifaceted, and misunderstood issue. Few aspects of our relationship with food are as maligned as emotional eating, and our specific story about it contains hidden information essential to truly understanding our needs and ourselves.

You will:

Learn how to decode your emotional eating.
Understand what is happening in your body, heart, and mind in real time.
Create a personalized menu of options to meet your needs with mindfulness, precision, and compassion.

Return home with a new way of looking at emotional eating, one that imagines it as an important form of communication from your inner teacher.

About Jenna

Author, Speaker, Nutritionist, & Meditation Teacher

I’m a pasta-eating, compulsive-reading, horror movie-watching, cat-worshiping, drag queen fangirl who also happens to be a certified Intuitive Eating counselor, nutrition therapist, author, and meditation teacher. I’m a grown-up weirdo who never trusted my body or my own intelligence…until I got sober, quit dieting, and started meditating.

Now I know that no one on earth knows better what I need than me. And the same goes for you.

I want to help you stop questioning your eating, feeling guilty and ashamed, and hating on your body so that you can learn what it means to trust yourself and be fully in your own life. Let’s find out who you are without dieting!

Jenna Hollenstein is an Intuitive Eating dietitian and meditation teacher who supports women to go from hating their bodies and fearing food to rediscovering joy in eating and movement and reconnecting with their true selves.

I’ve been a dietitian for more than 20 years but back when I started I was still deep into my own disordered eating and drinking. At least I had the good sense not to get a job guiding people’s eating. Instead I delved into the science as a medical writer and editor.

I took my last drink on my 33rd birthday, a choice that, as it turns out, changed everything. Being sober forced me to face my fears, to get comfortable with discomfort, and to finally address my relationship with food and my own body.
I realize now that, even at my most disordered some of my own innate wisdom shone through: after all, I did choose a career that would ultimately allow me to heal and to support others’ healing as well.
When I began meditating, my brain started exploding with all the connections between Buddhist philosophy and the behaviors and substances we use to change how we feel: dieting, drinking, shopping, working, and on and on.
I’ve since explored those connections in my own relationship with food and body, in my work with people, and through writing. What I’ve realized I’m best at is accompanying you through your own process of deprogramming from the diet culture and reconnecting with the wisdom of your body, mind, and heart through Intuitive Eating and meditation.
