Mindfulness-Based Childbirth and Parenting

Live online, via Zoom

Recommended to complete class by 36-38 weeks of pregnancy.

This 9-week program is a comprehensive birth preparation series whether you are looking forward to birth with an epidural or an unmedicated birth. We cover mindfulness-based practices to increase confidence while releasing fear and anxiety for birthing and parenting. Students will learn the physiology and process of birth, ways to use the mind to work with pain during labor, and mindful communication during birth and parenting.

Each series includes a 4-hour practice session. This is a fantastic opportunity to experience the power of the practices cultivated during the course. Class participants are invited to a reunion session scheduled for 8-weeks after the last due date.

The course uses the book, Mindful Birthing: Training the Mind, Body, and Heart for Childbirth and Beyond, by Nancy Bardacke, and students are required to purchase the book separately. Here's a link to it on Amazon.com.

Class is for the pregnant person and a partner/support person. We welcome all expectant families, regardless of birthing location.

Class covers:

  • process & physiology of birth
  • deep physical and mental relaxation practices
  • understanding, and working with, the hormones of birth
  • engage the mind to work with pain during labor
  • confidence and courage for the birthing experience
  • prenatal practices for strength and flexibility
  • develop skills for managing stress in pregnancy, parenting, and daily life
  • enhance communication skills as a couple
  • become more aware of your approach to parenting

Included with registration, no additional fee:

- Nutrition for a Healthy Pregnancy
- Life with Baby: Easing the Transition
