Online Course Begins April 6

About this Course

Mindfulness-Based Childbirth and Parenting (MBCP) is a 9-week mindful birthing and parenting course. This course offers intensive training in mindfulness and mindfulness meditation with a focus on utilizing mindfulness to work with pain, fear, and anxiety during labor, to cultivate greater confidence around the labor and delivery experience, and to develop skills for managing the stress of pregnancy, parenting, and life.

This course will meet on Zoom in a virtual classroom space where participants will have opportunities to interact with their classmates, share helpful materials, ask questions, and delve into pregnancy, parenting, and mindfulness resources during their 9-week class series – and beyond!
