MSC Teacher Directory

We’re excited to have you join us in our mission to promote greater self-compassion and well-being for all. Our new CMSC Teacher Directory features MSC Teachers from all around the world who have been trained by the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion and CMSC International Partners to teach the research-based Mindful Self-Compassion course. Only MSC-Trained teachers are authorized to teach this program.

Based upon scientific research and established teaching methods, MSC Teachers guide participants in cultivating greater self-awareness, self-kindness, and inner strength.

You can easily search our teacher database by clicking on any of the field boxes below for country, state/region, primary teaching language, or certification level (Certified or Trained Teacher or Teacher-in-Training) or if you know a teacher’s name, entering a First, Last, or Full Name in the far right field box.

*Our updated directory is powered by a mobile app developed and owned by Interconnected, under a licensing agreement. We appreciate Interconnected’s commitment to compliance with CMSC’s nonprofit 501(c)(3) status while offering greater access to information about MSC Teachers and their upcoming courses. You can find desktop version of the MSC App here and the mobile version by searching the app store on your phone for Mindful Self-Compassion. Please note teachers are adding themselves to the App so not all MSC teachers are listed here yet. For a basic list of 3000+ teachers trained by CMSC through 2023, you can find it here.
