About this app

This application provides you with three unique meditations created by the Perinatal Pathways Lab

We conduct research studies with pregnant women and individuals, along with their babies, to improve their wellbeing and the future health of their children

For over 25 years, we have contributed to the scientific evidence showing that experiencing stress, anxiety, and depression affects pregnant women and individuals, as well as their offspring in utero. There is a ‘third pathway’ for the familial inheritance of risk for psychiatric illness beyond shared genes and the quality of parental care: the impact of pregnant people’s distress on fetal and infant brain–behavior development. Our projects involve fetal assessment, newborn neuro-imaging, genetics, epigenetics, psychoneuroimmunology, parent–child interaction, and supportive interventions to (1) characterize maternal experiences and the effects on children’s development and (2) promote maternal psychobiological health for the parent–child dyad.

We are actively recruiting for several studies. In our research studies, we are interested in the experiences of pregnant women and individuals and how parents can feel less stressed during pregnancy and postpartum.
