What it means to be a MINT Certified Trainer

*We wanted to highlight and explain more about what it means for Larisa Traga to become a MINT Certified Trainer. Larisa went through a very long process of recording her trainings. During the application process, she was required to indicate how she met all of the requirements to meet criteria to become MINT Certified. Currently, the highest recognition that is attainable as a trainer is MINT Certification. Congratulations, again, to Larisa!
