About Dr. Diane Sanford

Diane Sanford has been passionate about helping women improve their emotional health since counseling her first mom twenty-five years ago. While on maternity leave with her daughter Jessica, she exhausted herself with cooking, cleaning, and hosting family and friends. When her daughter Rachel arrived four years later, she balanced her needs with those of her family.  Even with a new baby, she felt much better, which convinced her that self-care is key to healthy postpartum adjustment.
