About Dr. Divina Lopez
Dr. Divina Lopez is not your ordinary pediatrician! Her medical journey has taken her from private practice to school doctor and even to urgent care and the courtroom.
During the height of the pandemic, she shared tips on Telemundo and Univision on how to treat respiratory conditions in children and advice on using telemedicine as an alternative to in-person doctor’s visits. Her mission is to educate new or expecting parents and give empowering advice to help them raise happy and healthy babies.
When she saw a need in her community for a space to discuss breaking generational trauma, she created it. Now she leads monthly meetings and provides resources both in English and Spanish for Latinx parents. The two e-books she shares are The New Mama Guide, What They Didn’t Tell You at the Hospital and The Ultimate Dad’s Guide to the Delivery Room.
Through her own motherhood journey and raising a wonderful child living with autism, she’s learned the importance of advocating for herself and others. It reminds her that she is serving a purpose in her current field of public health.
You may have seen her work as a Forbes Health contributor, The EveryMom, She Knows, Latin Connection or as part of The Power to Protect New Jersey Campaign for the flu vaccine. She was nominated as one of NJ Favorite Kids’ Docs from New Jersey Family Magazine. Dr. Divina’s website is catered to new parents where she features her podcast called “Dancing into Parenthood” and accompanying digital program for new parents. Her content on social media focuses on newborn care and baby development, postpartum depression, and how to create the foundation for your family empire.
