Mindfulness-Based Childbirth and Parenting (MBCP)
The UCSF National Center of Excellence in Women’s Health in collaboration with the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine is currently offering Mindfulness-Based Childbirth and Parenting Education (MBCP). The MBCP Program is an invitation to begin or deepen the practice of mindfulness for meeting the profound changes in our bodies and minds during pregnancy, childbirth and parenting.
The MBCP Program was developed by Nancy Bardacke, CNM, author of Mindful Birthing: Training the Mind, Body and Heart for Childbirth and Beyond. It is a nine-week course that integrates childbirth education with stress reduction, pain coping, and parenting skills. It includes an all-day session after the sixth week and a reunion after the birth.
