Empowered Beginnings focuses on preparing families from conception through the first years after birth while also equipping compassionate professionals to support them. We believe we do not empower you—you empower yourselves. We provide families with support through pregnancy and birth with childbirth classes and birth doula care and continue that support into the postpartum period through postpartum doula services, preparation classes, pediatric sleep consulting, and lactation guidance.
At the same time, we train and mentor dedicated birth doulas with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to support families with dignity, evidence-based care, and empathetic communication, fostering a community that honors individual choices and promotes positive, supported birth experiences.
Finding the help you need can be an overwhelming process and we're here to help. Located in Austin, Texas and serving the surrounding community, we offer birth doula and postpartum doula services, childbirth classes, parenting prep classes, and pediatric sleep consulting. We have a team of birth doulas and postpartum doulas, childbirth educators, and sleep consultants for you to choose from. We encourage you to take a look around, check out our services, and send us a message with any questions. Check out our FAQ for more info. Check out our blog to learn a bit more. We also have a list of local resources if you need services we don't provide!
