Meet The Founder

I'm Sonali Shivlani

I am a pregnancy and parenting consultant, childbirth educator, and maternal wellness expert — but before all of that, I am a mother of two children who are now grown-up adults. My own journey into motherhood shaped the direction of my life’s work and helped me understand firsthand how overwhelming, confusing, and beautiful this phase can be.

Over the last 20+ years, I have had the privilege of working with more than 45,000 families through pregnancy classes, parenting workshops, lactation consults, and corporate programs. My goal has always been simple — to ensure that parents feel informed, supported, and confident as they step into this transformative phase of life.

I am the Director of CAPPA India, the Indian chapter of Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association (CAPPA), one of the world’s leading organizations for training childbirth educators, labor doulas, lactation educators, and other perinatal professionals. Through CAPPA India, I am deeply involved in mentoring and training professionals who go on to support families during pregnancy, birth, and early parenting.

I am also an author and have written three books –
  • Prenatal Fitness 360
  • Parenting Mantras
  • SuperMoms Recipes

Each of these reflects my belief that pregnancy and parenting should be approached with knowledge, balance, and practical wisdom.

Currently, I am affiliated with some of Mumbai’s respected healthcare institutions, including PD Hinduja Hospital, Womens Hospital, and Aviva Clinic, where I work alongside medical teams to ensure families receive holistic pregnancy-to-newborn care support.

Through Baby360degrees, my mission continues to remain the same as it was when I first began in 2004 — to bridge the gap between medical care and practical parenting preparation. I strongly believe that while doctors guide medical decisions, structured education and emotional support empower parents to feel calm, capable, and confident.

Pregnancy and early parenting are not phases you are meant to navigate alone. And if I can help make that journey smoother, clearer, and less overwhelming for you — that is what truly fulfills me.
