Fathers and Hormones Before and After Birth

July 24, 2018 by Diane Speier Leave a Comment

Here’s a little nugget that I found in my upcoming book during the editing process. I thought it was important to share with fathers in the childbearing year.   Fathers and Hormones* © Diane S Speier, PhD One of the most exciting developments in the last decade is the discovery that fathers go through natural hormonal changes, along with their pregnant partners, that shape them into devoted dads. We know that when the father is cohabiting with his Continue Reading …

The Tyranny of Expectations

October 13, 2016 by Diane Speier 2 Comments

I recently received an email about dealing with disappointment, which often happens as the result of unmet expectations we have about how things should be or turn out. We can feel a range of emotions when we feel let down, by ourselves or by others. It’s a tough feeling to experience but it’s a natural part of life. Sometimes those expectations are external, imposed on us by others who expect us to behave in a certain way, leaving Continue Reading …

#MHAW16 – Perinatal Relationships and Mental Health

May 22, 2016 by Diane Speier Leave a Comment

As this Mental Health Awareness Week (16-22 May 2016) winds down, I felt compelled by this year’s emphasis on ‘relationships’ to write about the importance of strengthening partner relationships in the transition to parenthood.  Although I have worked with couples in a variety of formats over many years – birth and parent preparation, The Birth Empowerment Workshop®, and relationship counselling and therapy – I have recently become a Certified Becoming Us™ Facilitator, which has really upped my game Continue Reading …

Testimonial

“Many thanks for your excellent advice – ‘right on target’. You have twice given me the confidence and motivation I’ve needed to experience the joys of natural childbirth and I’ll always be grateful. So will Frank – who was twice so super!”   – Fran

Testimonial

“Your insights were very helpful in preparing me for so many aspects of motherhood, especially coming home and breastfeeding.

I really try to be as sensitive and listening to parents as I see them with their newborns – in this stage as it’s an unusual and a new transition. I gained so much as a mother and a pediatrician by just knowing what was ahead and all the simple practical advice. I really have to thank you so much for that and now my patients do too.”  – A. Furgiuele

Testimonial

“I obtained Diane’s details from a list supplied by the (Roger) Woolger Training  Institute, as I was searching for understanding, and assistance, to deal with a very emotional problem, that I was sure was ’past life’ related…I was received into a relaxed and friendly environment, with Diane proving to be an extremely easy ‘listener‘, and one I could talk to freely; indeed I would look forward to our following meetings. To date, some ten years following, I am more content and comfortable than I was.

Past Life regression is not to be taken lightly, good spiritual psychotherapists should be sourced, and in doing so, you can do little better than accessing Diane’s services.” –JEM

Testimonial

“Dear Diane, It was a pleasure to be asked to play such an important role in the Blessingway and an honour. It is a wonderful way of  ‘feeling’ and I thank you for giving me the opportunity to feel. All the best, always, Elena”
