A Hot Mom is a woman who is confident and empowered. Being a Hot Mom is an attitude and a lifestyle, it doesn't matter what age you are, what race, shape or size, EVERY mom can be a Hot Mom! The HMC team welcomes you to join our club.
The Hot Moms Club was started in 2005 by two frustrated moms on a mission to redefine the traditional image of motherhood. There has never been a hotter time to be a mom than now and The Hot Moms Club has been at the pulse of this movement.
"Our philosophy is simple, you are not the best mom unless you are the best YOU. What started out as an idea in our toy littered living rooms has quickly turned into a movement helping moms everywhere live more powerful lives. We hope you use this site as an emotional, inspirational and informational resource. We support and promote amazing mothers like yourself, we encourage you to share your wisdom and experiences. It hasn't been easy juggling the responsibilities of HMC and getting our kids to their activities on time, we're still not really sure how we're doing it all. The Hot Mom's Club is ever evolving, our team is working hard to make this website everything we envision and you deserve."

Through her practice in a community clinic, Dr. Diane helped develop policies that provided high quality preventive and emergency care to children with limited resources.
Her passion to treat children was inspired by her own family's immigration to the United States . Dr. Diane was born in Vietnam , and arrived in the United States in 1975. Her parents essentially left everything behind, and worked very hard to assimilate into their new lives in America . As a result, Dr. Diane grew up immersed in an atmosphere of determination and diligence, with an emphasis on obtaining an excellent education, and on maintaining strong ties to both family and community.
These values motivated her to become a pediatrician, and to devote her career to promoting the wellness of children of all ages. Today Dr. Diane is a partner with a major multi-specialty group, where she enjoys combining her clinical practice with volunteer work in local school-based clinics. She was an active member of the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee in her hospital, has been honored by the Consumers' Research Council of America with a listing as one of "America's Top Pediatricians 2007" , and is a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

She then moved to Los Angeles , where she served as a pediatric Physician Assistant with a large HMO. Five years later, she was accepted at the Keck School of Medicine at USC, during which time she got married, had a baby, and finished in four years! While at Children's Hospital of Los Angeles , she was acknowledged as the outstanding pediatric intern, and was also recognized as one of the top three graduating residents in her class.

She has also written the foreword to the best-selling book, Secrets of the Baby Whisperer .
