Parijat Deshpande

PARIJAT DESHPANDE is an author, speaker, consultant and the CEO of a Ruvelle, the only truly trauma-informed company dedicated specifically to improving high-risk pregnancy outcomes by filling the gaps left by the medical and mental health system with our proprietary neurobiological approaches to health and health care.

After her own experience with high-risk pregnancy, Parijat went from patient to practitioner to help other women beat the statistics—a journey she chronicled 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 pregnancy outcomes after preterm birth or late-term loss. Parijat also consults with progressive companies, organizations, and brands on how to best support their pregnant employees and leadership team through infertility, a high-risk pregnancy, and possible NICU stay.

As an educator and keynote speaker, Parijat trains medical providers, birth workers and allied professionals around the country on how to provide trauma-sensitive support as they work with their prenatal patients to help them increase trust in their care. She also partners with production companies, directors, producers and screenwriters to accurately represent birth trauma, loss, high-risk pregnancy and preterm birth in TV and film.

Parijat is the host of the popular podcast Delivering Miracles® which discusses the real, raw side of family-building including infertility, loss, high-risk pregnancy, bed rest, prematurity and healing once a baby comes home. When Parijat isn’t working to end the high-risk pregnancy crisis, she can be found hiking, reading British crime novels, singing and composing pieces on the piano.
