Birth & Postpartum

Diane S. Speier, PhD

Diane has created an online course on the postpartum period called 8 Keys for Thriving in the Fourth Trimester. Designed for prospective and new parents, the course offers practical and informative resources on what happens after a baby is born. It fills the gap on learning about life after birth, a missing link when so much current focus is on birth and parenting. The transition to parenthood is challenging and this course guides parents through 8 modules that enhance the ability to cope with those challenges and affect a happy and healthy adjustment.
