Whether youāre expecting, in the thick of postpartum, or navigating those first years, this is a space to share your story, listen deeply, and remind yourself that youāre not alone. Letās talk about the missing lens in maternal and postpartum wellbeing and what thriving in early parenthood can truly mean.

Indiaās first Mama RisingĀ®ļø Matrescence Coach (in training) and a Chevening Scholar, she is building a continuum of care across homes, healthcare, and workplaces to strengthen maternal wellbeing, perinatal mental health, and healthy child development.
For over 15 years, Natasha has led programmes in gender equity, early childhood development, and caregiver wellbeing with organisations such as the World Bank, LEGO Foundation, and state and national government. As a World Bank Early Years Fellow, she co-designed Indiaās preschool reform initiative - focused on a play-based pedagogy, reaching four million children across eight states, and authored key publications on the early childhood workforce, care economy, and learning through play.
