This week on First Time Mum's Chat, I'm thrilled to be chatting with Dr Diane Speier, who has been a birth and postpartum professional both in the USA and UK. Diane has been helping parents make a smooth transition from pregnancy to parenthood for more than 40 years.

She is the author of Life After Birth: A Parent's Holistic Guide for Thriving in the Fourth Trimester and in this episode you'll hear her talk about her book and the accompanying Digital Doula app which is designed for both Apple IOS devices and Android. This app follows the structure of the book and has additional sections and is regularly updated with new information and resources.

During our chat you'll hear Diane talk about:-

• The 8 keys for thriving in the fourth trimester - the first three months after birth.
• The use of energy medicine techniques that offer wonderful ways to take care of yourself, whether it's balancing stress, increasing milk flow or enhancing the bonding process with your little one.
