Help Diana to empower new parents through enhanced connection with their infants, and a unique book that challenges traditional story time!

Tawa, Wellington

Hello, wonderful people!

Join me on this journey to empower new parents through enhanced connection by understanding the language of their infants from day one and to enrich the lives of infants through vibrant art.

As an artist and a new mother to a lively two-year-old, I’ve spent over a decade balancing part-time artistic pursuits with office work. However, life recently put me onto a new path. Earlier this year, I was made redundant from my stable office job. Now I am focusing on two related projects.

First, “Sensory Bonding,” is a book for parents and infants, already available in English on Amazon and select Wellington businesses. It’s a magical journey that redefines bonding time and combines it with my vibrant original artwork and practical advice for new parents. I’m planning a more durable edition for little fierce fingers and a German and Spanish version to reach out to more families.

Second, I’m in the process of becoming New Zealand’s first Dunstan Baby Language (DBL) educator. DBL, a method based on five distinct baby sounds that are produced by bodily reflexes, was a game-changer for my family. Our son had a problem with wind and colic and knowing exactly how to respond, knowing when to burp or when he wanted to feed, or sleep, improved everything. I aim to help others understand their babies’ cries and enhance their bond.

Your support will help me transition to work in the creative space and focusing on supporting new parents and infants full-time.

Use of funds

Focus on two projects: Publish and distribute books and become a DBL educator so I can give back to the community and help new parents. Specifically: Resources for training, time for creation, printing, expenses, distribution, venue hire, subscriptions (Photoshop, Adobe express, MS office licenses etc.)
