Welcome to Mindful Birth CU, the home of Mindfulness Based Childbirth and Parenting education for central Illinois and beyond
Welcome to Mindful Birth CU. You will find information here about Mindfulness Based Childbirth and Parenting (MBCP) classes. Classes are held in person and online for those outside of the local area.
The MBCP program was founded by Nancy Bardacke, nurse midwife and mindfulness teacher at the University of California, San Francisco, to help families learn mindfulness skills for the challenges of childbirth, parenting and beyond. The program is adapted from the work of Jon Kabat Zinn's Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction which has been taught and researched since 1979. MBCP builds on Kabat Zinn's work to teach mindfulness practices specific to this amazing time in an expectant family's life.
Classes are taught in Urbana, joining virtually is an option.
Kristy has been teaching MBCP since 2018 and is a certified teacher with the Mindful Birthing Foundation.
Mindfulness meditation has been shown to reduce stress and improve the quality of life.
Your investment in Mindfulness is a priceless life-long resource for yourself, your relationships and your parenting.
