Meet Dr. Lauren Adamski! She has a passion for treating whole families and focuses on prenatal, postnatal, pediatric and family chiropractic care. Dr. Lauren is certified in the Webster Technique, which is a specific chiropractic technique used on pregnant women to reduce low back pain during pregnancy, help baby get into optimal position to prepare for labor. It has been researched by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) and is shown to help decrease labor by up to 5 hours. Dr. Lauren also works with pediatric patients. Her goal with all her pediatric patients is to help their nervous systems function optimally. Children have a rapidly developing nervous system so it is important to remove any spinal interference due to spinal misalignments. Dr. Lauren also works with postpartum women by providing one on one personal training sessions aimed at healing the diastasis recti abdominal separation that can occur during pregnancy.

Dr. Lauren is a kind and knowledgeable chiropractor. She has helped me with my neck and my ears especially! She is a wonder at soft tissues massage and is able to coax the muscles to relax in order for the adjustment to happen easily and without discomfort. She’s compassionate and will listen to you and help you in a non judgmental and caring way.

Being first time parents of a baby with reflux. We were on 5.5 months of consistently interrupted sleep. We found Katy and within a week we were getting solid sleep! I can't imagine trying sleep training without Katy's guidance. Her guidance and consistent support helped us get through sleep training as quickly and smoothly as possible. We all have new skills. Thank you, thank you Katy! If you are on the fence on what to do...it's a very easy decision. Hire Katy and listen to her. You and your little one will be sleeping in no time!

I am a Full Spectrum Birth and Postpartum Doula in Austin, TX trained through Doula Trainings International. I work with families throughout the birth process to create supportive care and systems so you feel empowered and educated throughout the entire birth process, as well as supported and cared for during the postpartum period. I especially enjoy working with LGBTQIA+ families and those who are in different stages of the birth process, including miscarriage and loss. Previously, I entered a software engineering career through working to design technologies for individuals with traumatic brain injuries in hospital settings, but after hearing about several friends and family members' birth and doula experiences, I decided I wanted a more caretaking and embodied role in creating equitable change and creating peaceful, embodied, and inclusive experiences for families. In my free time, I love to make art, chat over a latte, go for a lake swim, and see live music with friends.

Amelia is a DONA trained birth doula (2019) from Minnesota. She holds a BA in Global Studies with emphasis on South American studies and Global Public Health. Birthwork found her when she was working on a research project about women giving birth in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. Following her project, she immediately got trained as a birth doula and hit the ground running. She was a volunteer doula for the first part of her doula career while simultaneously working as a health educator in non-profit clinics in both Minneapolis and Austin. Amelia eventually adhered to her calling and shifted to working in birthwork full time. For Amelia, birth is a sacred and ceremonial part of life. She is passionate about advocating for families and following their lead as they go through this transformational experience. Amelia enjoys incorporating essential oils, movement, meditation, mantra, and light touches of humor into her work. Outside of birthwork you might find Amelia teaching yoga, travelling, hanging with her cats, or hiking with her partner.

Hello! I’m Lina and I am a Certified Parent Coach and Positive Discipline Parent Educator behind The Heartful Mama LLC. I help parents move away from punishment and yelling towards a more compassionate approach in their discipline, deepening their connection with their children, through my parent-centric coaching program. My parenting philosophy is all humans (adults and children alike) are to be seen and heard, and when parents are fully supported in a safe and no-judgement space, they thrive and children under their care flourish. I believe that there is no bad children, only misunderstood kids and my work as a parent coach is to support parents in deepening their understanding of their children, no matter how old they are. In my free time, I love to explore new places with my two children or go for a walk with my partner at our neighborhood park.

Hi, I am Dr. Julie Hsu. I am a licensed psychologist practicing in Austin, Texas. Currently, I am providing therapy services exclusively through video/telehealth. My specialities include ADHD, anxiety, and perfectionism. I enjoy supporting clients through transitions, including new parenthood. I also have a passion for working with women of color/global majority, Asian-Americans, and children of immigrants. My experience working with clients has affirmed that each person has inherent strengths and wisdom. I believe people are naturally oriented towards connection and growth. They just need the right space to affirm who they really are and imagine new possibilities. It’s an honor to be a part of the journey. My practice is culturally affirming and responsive. I am committed to ongoing anti-oppression learning, growth, and humility. Therapy with me is validating, grounding, and insightful. My vibe is gentle and nurturing, which I believe arises naturally from my respect and care for my clients. I’m down-to-earth and approachable. I use evidence-based practices and teach practical skills to empower clients. I believe change happens when we develop the ability to listen to what we need in the moment, with compassion. From there, awareness begins to blossom, as we start feeling more connected to ourselves and others. My specialties include: transition to parenthood, including postpartum anxiety; positive parenting support; wellness, balance, and self-compassion; work stress and burnout; anxiety, perfectionism, and overachievers; Asian-Americans, women of color/global majority, and children of immigrants; skills-based therapy for adult ADHD; and young adults and quarter-life crisis. I accept Lyra Healthcare and Modern Healthcare EAP. I am a Psypact provider and can provide telehealth across several different states, including: Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, District of Columbia/DC, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia.
