Mindfulness-Based Childbirth and Parenting (MBCP)

Recommended Posts

Hi Mums to be - just a quick post to see whether anyone could be interested in attending a Mindfulness-Based Childbirth and Parenting (mbcp) workshop in the new year- towards the end of Jan?


I got interested in this approach, as an alternative to hypnobirthing, after coming upon Nancy Bardacke's book: 'Mindful Birthing'. In a nutshell mindfulness preparation is all about alertness in the present moment and learning to cope with all parts of your emotional and physical experience, rather than trying to change this. Hypnosis, on the other hand, is about learning how to deeply relax mentally and physically very often using the power of imagery to help cope/distract.


The workshop would be run over a full weekend or 2 separate weekend days and facilitated by a really wonderful midwife who trained with Nancy Bardacke herself, and who is based up North, but would be willing to make the trip to London,to teach me and others, if we can drum up enough interest. The idea is for preggos and their partners to attend together and there would be a cost for participation, yet to be determined, but similar to what it costs to attend a whole weekend hypnobirthing course.


Here are some links to more info: http://www.mindfulbirthing.org/, http://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/mindful_birth/ .


Get in touch if you want to know more! Thanks so much! Jasmine

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
