Sasha Yamnik (CNM)
Certified Nurse Midwife
My fist exposure to Nancy Bardacke’s teachings was in 2009 when I assisted her in one of her classes at the OSHER center while in midwifery school at UCSF. During this class, I learned how mindfulness can impact lives in a profound way. In the process I deepened my own mindfulness meditation practice which has served me greatly with my own journey into parenthood and is still the strongest tool I have in my daily life as I navigate a busy midwifery practice and parenting of two amazing boys.
As a full time midwife at UCSF I have come across many patients who took the MBCP course. And what I found was a fundamental difference in the way they navigate through labor, especially when faced with challenging decisions or unexpected outcomes. This inspired me to complete the MBCP training in 2017 and I have been offering pearls from this program in my Centering Pregnancy groups for the past few years.
Finally, I am able to offer a full course at a time when my patients need it most! So, I hope you can join me on this journey of training the mind, body and heart for childbirth and beyond.
