Parijat Deshpande, MS, CTP, CCTS-I

Parijat Deshpande, MS, CTP, CCTS-I, is the CEO of a global boutique firm dedicated to improving pregnancy outcomes and ending prematurity using a trauma-informed, neurobiological approach to reproductive health and healthcare practices. After her own experience with a very high-risk pregnancy, bed rest, and an extremely preterm delivery, Parijat went from patient to practitioner to help other women beat the statistics – a journey and expertise she chronicles in her bestselling book, Pregnancy Brain: A Mind-Body Approach to Stress Management During a High-Risk Pregnancy. Today, she continues to take a trauma-informed, neurobiological approach to reproductive health to help her concierge-level private clients improve their high-risk pregnancy outcomes after preterm birth or late-term loss. As an educator and keynote speaker, Parijat presents to parents and patients, as well as medical providers and birth professionals on how to provide trauma-sensitive support to help patients increase trust in their care. She also partners with independent filmmakers to accurately represent birth trauma, loss, high-risk pregnancy, and preterm birth in TV and film.
