In celebration of Nancy Bardacke's Mindful Birthing, newly revised and returning in a second edition later this year. 

This course is approved for 60 CPD hours (ACM) and 25 CE credits (ACNM).

"My initial thought when I began the class was that this would be a birth class that I might get something else out of. What it's ended up being for me is a life-perspective-altering class that's going to help with our birth. Leaving the class now, it's a complete reversal. It's not about the birth anymore. It's going to help us with our birth, but it's not about the birth. It's about our lives."

What We're Seeing

Families and care teams are navigating:

​

  • Rising stress, anxiety, and isolation

  • Default reactions (fear, rumination, reactivity) that strain relationships

  • Burnout among perinatal professionals

  • Gaps between “birth plans” and day-to-day tools that actually help

 

Our view: To change behavior, we start with the mind and heart. When you learn to notice, pause, and choose your response, you disrupt unhealthy patterns and set a healthier course for the generations to come.
