About The Program
Soulful Pregnancy is a combination of science, rationality, intuition, culture and spirituality. In this program, we explore the miracle of pregnancy, enabling the mother to deliver a little angel. It is all about being in a good state physically, emotionally and spiritually for your growing baby. To do this, we support parents in creating tranquil surroundings through music, positive thoughts, healthy eating habits, yoga, meditation, creativity and communication with your unborn child. Simply, a soulful pregnancy.
Are you surprised looking at a few kids who are born with abundantly gifted qualities? The program helps in shifting your perspective of the gifted qualities as an output of a conscious approach towards pregnancy by both parents. We explore, in this regard, essential ideas and their application to daily practice in various modules of the program. The focus is on supporting the expecting mother and family to make well-informed decisions, gain clarity from one’s doctor to prevent any unnecessary medical interventions and involve the father throughout the pregnancy. The journey to become a wonderful parent begins by being a couple who is actively involved in bringing that child into this world. The cornerstone of Soulful Pregnancy is a deep understanding of child development, proper diet and the concept of womb-connect.
This program for expecting couples has been running for more than 12 years now, helping thousands of parents connect with their child and enjoy peaceful parenting. It’s heart-warming to see all these little angels growing up into nurtured and talented children with impressive grasping powers. But more importantly, to hear couples at the end of the program say, “We are ready to be parents!”
What is Womb-connect?
It is about deepening the powerful connection between the parents and the unborn child in the womb. It helps the parents nurture the mind of the fetus right from conception. Traditionally, in ancient Indian scriptures and the study of Ayurveda, it is believed that a child’s mental and behavioural development begins at conception and is influenced by the mother’s state of mind. Moreover, the sound of a mother’s heartbeat is the first and closest rhythm the fetus gets used to. In our interactive sessions, we aim to strengthen this bond through peaceful meditation and chanting, allowing the vibrations and sounds to reach the fetus.
About the Mentors
Shrreya Shah started ‘mydvija – reborn as a mother’ with the belief that giving birth to a child is in some way, the rebirth of the mother too. Shrreya is a mother, dietitian, pre and post-natal counsellor, childbirth educator and yoga and pranayama trainer with a postgraduate degree in Fitness Management. Her initial inspiration struck at the age of 14 when she witnessed sonography at a science exhibition for the very first time. Amazed at the ability of a mother’s womb to create, nourish and bring a human baby into this world, she hoped to work in a field with expectant mothers. Shreya’s dream was realised through a LAMAZE Childbirth Education certification course in Mumbai. Since then, through her passion and enthusiasm, she has been working with couples with the primary aim to create awareness and spread knowledge. She advocates that every woman should be in a position to make well-informed decisions with clarity. She hopes to instil confidence and strength in pregnant women, preparing them to handle the journey of childbirth including labour and opt for only necessary medical interventions. Shrreya’s coaching involves games, activities and discussions to create a fun and positive learning environment for couples. Her two daughters have been a source of constant inspiration, motivating her to reach out to more women through her work as the founder of mydvija – reborn as a mother.

Shrreya is doing wonders for all the new parents. Concepts like ‘womb talking’ and ‘paint my child’ really helped us bond with our baby and we see the power of the sessions now that our child is with us. Apart from the program, Shrreya’s responses to over queries round the clock and her informative videos made my prenatal journey really wonderful.
Anu & Surendra
This program created a strong bond between us and helped us understand each other a lot during pregnancy. The techniques were very effective in calming Anu throughout the process and Shrreya was our strongest support in all situations. She is well-informed and I am very thankful for her support.

Pratiksha, Anirudha
This program was the perfect place and guidance that I needed to manage my pregnancy. It helped get rid of my doubts and fear. My partner and I are proud, happy and confident parents to a beautiful and brave daughter. We call our daughter ‘champion’ instead of ‘good girl’, according to Shrreya’s suggestion. Thank you mydvija and Shrreya for making parenting an easy process for us all.
