Description

The birth of a child is truly a beginning, not only of a new being entering this world, but also of individuals becoming or deepening their role as a parent. Becoming a parent is perhaps the most profound transformation in the adult life cycle. Mindfulness-Based Childbirth and Parenting Program (MBCP) has been created to serve those going through this transformation and who then continue to work at one of the most important, joyous and stressful jobs on the planet, that of nurturing and caring for the next generation.  

Integrating mindfulness practices such as breath awareness and yoga with childbirth and parenting education, MBCP helps parents-to-be cultivate lifelong practices for healthy living and wise parenting. The program is an adaptation of the world-renowned Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program (MBSR) founded in 1979 by Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D., at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. 

Since founding MBCP in 1998, Nancy Bardacke has taught over 70 sessions of the core 9-week Mindfulness-Based Childbirth Education class and many workshops for expectant parents. She has been both deeply moved and heartened by the experiences participants report: that learning mindfulness brings benefits greater than they could have imagined. Beyond the birth, mindfulness practice continues to serve in the immediate, intense, joyful and sometimes stressful weeks and months of learning to care for a new baby. Many report that the mindfulness practice has indeed been a source of strength, growth and pleasure in the early years of becoming a family.
