Austin Born

Doula

Established in 2014.Austin born started in early 2014, on the belief that women and their families desire guidance, support, and community as they grow and to meet the need for families to have one-stop shopping and access to a variety of services meeting a spectrum of needs during pregnancy to early parenting, all under one roof.

For generations, pregnancy, birth, and parenting were social activities. Members of a village or family would support and celebrate each other through the various cycles of life. Modern parents now find themselves often at great distance from their families and feeling isolated socially as they create their own family. Ultimately, much more is now expected of one or two parents who often shoulder the burden alone. AustinBorn is a family of friends. Your village.

At AustinBorn we see ourselves as your guide: the well-traveled and experienced friend who accompanies you on your journey. Read more

    I would highly recommend AustinBorn to any expecting parents in the Austin area. My husband and I selected their Birth Doula package and fully took advantage of the group classes that are included in the package. The classes were really helpful to get to know the doulas and also meet other expecting parents, as well as throw all sorts of questions at the knowledgeable team! We also took Chelsea's breastfeeding class and continue to use the info we learned. ...

    Bottom line - having a doula at our birth was a great decision and in choosing AustinBorn, we got the added benefit of so much additional support that really helped us keep our sanity the first couple weeks. I highly recommend!

    I cannot imagine birthing without the support of our doula. AustinBorn is such a beautiful web of support and knowledge. We are infinitely grateful they were part of our prenatal care and the birth of our daughter

    After two different friends recommended AustinBorn, I was excited to hire them. We signed up for their birth doula offering, which also included prenatal group classes that we attended regularly. After my son was born, I found great value in their weekly Breastfeeding Cafe and The Circle mother's group. In fact, I've made some of my closest mama friends through their community! AustinBorn is a team of smart, funny, experienced, and supportive women. I highly recommend them as birth and postpartum doulas, and I cannot say enough about the education, community & support they provide to the mothers and families of Austin.

    Weekly postpartum gatherings at The Circle and Breastfeeding Cafe have been so helpful after having a baby. Getting out of the house and spending a couple of hours a week with like minded mamas has made the transition to new mamahood so much easier.

    Number one advice to new parents: hire ab doula! (Preferably Austin born.) Having Austin Born as a part of my birth team has been vital to the prenatal and postpartum experience I have had and I can't imagine not having them. Yaz and Stephanie were amazing at the birth of my son. They helped me power through 46 hours of labor ultimately resulting in the happiest moment of my life. Breastfeeding cafe with Stephanie and The Circle with Kim have also been essential to my postpartum transition. This community at Austin Born has truly been a life saver. Literally everyone there is amazing. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone having a baby, or who is looking for support after baby!
