“Life After Birth: A Parent's Holistic Guide for Thriving in the Fourth Trimester" (Praeclarus Press, 2019), by Diane S. Speier, PhD
• “Life after birth” may be currently classified as the most authoritative document (“the bible”?) about the “fourth trimester.” – Michel Odent, MD


Life After Birth & Digital Doula®2.0 work together for added value
.

The combination of book & app is a powerhouse package chock full of information & resources for parents after the baby comes. They are the first to apply energy medicine techniques to the postpartum period, in easy to use ways that everyone can do. A perfect strategy for managing the energy lows of the fourth trimester, these techniques become powerful self-care processes for handling the intense day to day responsibilities of new parenting.

Digital Doula®2.0 is a cross-platform app, intended to be a companion to, & expansion of, the book. However, it also works as a stand-alone postnatal app. Links embedded in each chapter of the book become live, open access resources for further exploration in the app. Hundreds of news links included in the app signpost users to additional resources within media, research, literature, & social media.

In addition to the book related content, additional material that is supplemental to Life After Birth, and only available in the app, include new sections that augment the content in the book, and are essential for the health & wellbeing of the whole family during this game changing period of life.

As an empowering & reassuring resource for an international audience of new parents, Digital Doula®2.0 is bringing time tested postnatal wisdom into the 21st century & delivering it in a mobile format for this generation of childbearing women.

This postnatal resource for new mothers & fathers/partners also gathers up to date information, research, videos, & articles and brings them directly to the consumer in the Hot Topics section.
