As a member of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Conception to Age 2: the first 1001 critical days, advocating for improved infant and perinatal mental health in the House of Commons, Diane has written a chapter on birth trauma for the book Transforming Infant Wellbeing: research, policy and practice for the first 1001 critical days (2017, Routledge).
Before immigrating to the UK, Diane was the founder/director of The Family Tree Centre for Parents in New York, offering classes, groups and workshops for prospective and new parents for 20 years. Diane became a certified childbirth educator and started attending births as a doula in 1978. Diane is the author of the book Life After Birth: A Parent’s Holistic Guide for Thriving in the Fourth Trimester (Praeclarus Press, 2019) drawing on her 40+ years of experience to help parents make a smooth transition from pregnancy to parenthood. The book has an app attached to it called Digital Doula®2.0 and it’s designed to complement and supplement the book with additional material and resources not included in the book, and bringing the links in the book to life. The app is a virtual doula and is available at any time of day or night! First launched in November 2013, Digital Doula®2.0 has been upgraded and released on a cross platform basis in 2020.
Diane is also a celebrant, co-creating ceremonies with her clients that mark life’s important transitions, helping to restore the sacred nature of significant events.
Diane is an international speaker at conferences on a range of subjects related to childbirth, the postnatal period, perinatal mental health, and parenting.
