Heart songs has been a gift for my boy, he treasures his time there with the teachersread more

Heartsong is amazing! It is so great for music and language development! The space the owner…read more(Carey) has created is wonderful for playing before/after class and connecting with the other families. My son does several paid activity classes during the week (music, gym, dance, etc.) - this is by far the best value for your money. You'll get music, teachers who have studied the curriculum and Montessori education, movement, language development, and a beautiful space for play and community after class. My son started at 11 months and I wish we started earlier! For weeks he just sat in our laps and listened most of the class. He seemed like he wasn't super excited but he was actually just slowly absorbing everything! It's now been four months and he gets so excited every time he hears music he starts dancing and smiling! We listen to all the songs in the car and someties at home and he's started singing along to several words from different songs. He even remembers which words/sounds are coming next - it's so adorable to hear him in the back of the car singing! Heartsong has been great for language development too - an unexpected plus! My son started saying words with difficult sounds (e.g., "car") that we hadn't heard as a babble sound or really used often and we figured out it's because the "ca"/"ka" sound is used in several songs we're singing this semester. Neat! I love that Heartsong follows the Music Together curriculum which means you do the same set of about 25 songs over the 10-week "semester" and then move to a different set. This allows time for the kids to get used to the sound of a song over the semester. The songs have been developed to help with language development (lots of different sounds), music development, and even self-regulation (slower/faster). I love that the teachers offer insights on why certain things they do help with development. The in-class experience will vary by teacher. Keep that in mind if you decide to do demo classes first.

Austin Doula Care is truly exceptional…read more From the moment we began working with Chelsea, Kim, and Chrys at Austin Doula Care, I felt deeply supported, informed, and cared for. Chelsea was our primary doula during pregnancy and birth, and Chrys supported us postpartum. Chelsea's presence during pregnancy and birth was grounding, empowering, and steady. She listened without judgment, shared knowledge without pressure, and held space in a way that made me feel calm, capable, and strong. She helped me trust my body and myself. Chrys's postpartum care was just as transformative. They cared not only for our baby, but for me: My healing, my emotions, my confidence as a new mother. They normalized the hard moments, celebrated the wins, and helped me feel healthy, supported, and seen during such an important time. If you are looking for doulas who are knowledgeable, compassionate, emotionally intelligent, and deeply respectful of your journey, I cannot recommend Austin Doula Care enough. I will forever be grateful for them!

From the moment I met Chelsea and Rachael, I knew I made the right choice in coming to Austin Doula…read moreCare. Their support extended far beyond childbirth support, from pregnancy check ins, the multitude of programs and classes at the office, as well as postpartum help, made my husband and I feel well cared for and confident about the journey of pregnancy and postpartum. Rachael's support during my pregnancy and childbirth was instrumental in me feeling empowered about every decision I made. She was a sounding board for each step of the way, helped me ask the right questions when needed, and assisted in crafting a birth plan and walking through all scenarios to make sure I felt prepared and confident. I am beyond grateful for her presence during my labor and baby's birth, as well as her postpartum help as I navigated things when my husband went back to work. A huge thank you to Rachael and the whole team at Austin Doula Care, I couldn't recommend their support more.

It has taken me about four years to write this review. I…read morehave a son who is quite challenging medically and behaviorally. My lack of consistent parenting role models left me feeling alone and uncertain at times. Sometmes I felt like a failure, other times I just felt lost. All I knew was that my fantasy of how I would parent was nothing like the day to day reality. To be fair lfe was stressful back then to this single parent. And when it seemed the dust had settled enough for me to consider my needs and not just deal with crisis and survival i reached out for guidance. Ms. Zentner came recommended via a Google group for mental health professionals as someone good with parenting issues and kids. Perhaps she is. I wouldn't know. She spent one meeting with me-an introductory assessment, one with my son and I (another assessment), And I think one more after this perhaps discussing her assessment. I wasn't blown away in a positive manner, I thought her conclusions and observations were rather elementary but I was willing to give it time. After all it took years for me to commit, so I certaily wasn't going to let myself quit prematurely. However I was disturbed by her persistent yawning throughout our few meetings. I tried to rationalize it, be a big girl and not personalize it. A bit of a challenge for someone already feeling inadequate and inept. I had to reschedule our fourth appt. I gave PLENTY of notice. Well over two weeks. She said she would call me back because the date I had available didn't work for her. And I never heard from her again. I may have called once after but maybe not. It was the holidays. I made excuses for her and thought I would give it a bit more time. As the weeks passed the clarity of my disappointment and discomfort was impossible to ignore and I decided it was best to just not return. We were clearly a poor match. I suspect she isn't a terrible counselor but I am not convinced she is a clinically astute therapist. Yawning without any recognition of the impression it gives is rather obtuse in my opinion. I was and remain a bit raw deep down about my parenting fears and disappointments. However I also have a ton of strengths and skills to fall back on. Yet if this situation struck such a chord with me I would hate to imagine its' impact on someone even more distressed/vulnerable than I had been at that time. She is probably not a bad counselor and with the increased emphasis these past two decades on short term cognitive techniques (over more in depth psychodynamic skills) she probably does okay. However I doubt I would ever recommend her to someone I cared for or whom I believed to be in need of good emotional support.

Kathryn is an incredible therapist. My son has advanced emotionally at a much higher rate since…read moreour regular sessions with her. She is prompt, communicative, and extremely non-judgmental in making sure her recommendations work with our family culture, values, and beliefs (even though I suspect she doesn't share them). In response to the other reviewer, in two years of regular sessions I don't recall a single yawn (or unreturned phone call). In short, I feel 1000x more equipped as a parent with her in my corner. EDIT: She often runs 10-15 minutes behind schedule, but I understand this given the amount of attention she gives to her clients. I have always received my full 55 minutes of attention.

Summer has extensive knowledge of the body. She is so thorough and takes excellent care of both me…read moreand my husband. We have attended her yoga classes, both have had massage and cupping. The experience with Summer is truly wonderful. Her demeanor is kind, loving and she takes her time. I never feel rushed and I always feel amazing during and after the treatment. I would highly recommend her. The best massage in Austin. As a yoga teacher myself she has also helped me with years of misalignement and I am so grateful. Her office is beautiful, serene and she uses wonderful products as well. Thank you Summer for all that you do!

This review is for Summer Greenlees…read more When my wife was wrapping up her first trimester, she sat me down and told me that she'd like to go through childbirth naturally. As a guy, this went against every instinct, noting that I'd prefer a c-section or to be "numbed from the nose down". Understanding that my support for this decision was a must, immediately I told her to find a doula. Soon later, my wife met with and enlisted Summer Greenlees' help. Her services included [but are not limited to] pregnancy massage, water massage, breathing exercises, aromatherapy and [of course] an active presence in labor & delivery. Fast forward to the third trimester, this is when I met Summer and one of her protégés for the first time. I was immediately struck by Summer's calming presence and uplifting personality-- even her laugh relieves tension! A few weeks later was our due date, but we had that time to practice techniques as a couple in preparation. I'd also like to note that while natural labor is encouraged as the ultimate goal, Summer both understands and acknowledges that epidurals and the like are additional tools in our belt rather than great evils or instruments of failure. When finally in the labor & delivery room, Summer was there from the first moments, setting the stage with calming music, scents that had already shown to calm my wife, foot & shoulder massage, etc. As labor intensified and I locked up with anxiety, she helped to include me with suggestions of what would be most helpful. Without her, I most likely would have remained isolated and closed off when my wife needed me the most. Whatever I paid Summer for her services, I assure you that it was worth much more than that just to have her there. If not for Summer and April (who was present and instrumental in the final stretch of delivery), I would not be able to look back at that moment with fond memories. Their calming energies and positivity helped my wife succeed physically and me emotionally. Getting a doula is a good decision. Choosing Summer makes it a great one.

Both my children went to this school for a year of preschool, even though the school considered…read morethem both to be neurotypical, after my older son got kicked out of his preschool for behavioral issues. I can't say enough good things about Williams. They have on-site behavioral therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. Each classroom has a quiet sensory room attached for children who get over stimulated, and there's an indoor gross motor room that my son was able to able to utilize when he became too hyperactive. They have smaller class sizes, and were able to work with him one-on-one when he needed it. The teachers and other staff were all very competent and capable. We interviewed at several different schools, most of which had said that they would be willing to take him and might be able to meet his needs, but it gave me a great deal of Peace of mind KNOWING that this school would be able to with with him regardless of his behaviors. Both my children thrived at the school, where they were only surviving before. I also think it was a very valuable experience for both of them to be surrounded by this diverse population and the teacher was even able to challenge them both academically, even though they were only in preschool. They both loved going to school there, and they learned a lot! My older son was eventually diagnosed with ADHD, sensory integration disorder, and a tic disorder. He's now transitioned to public school. Well see how that goes. Williams set the bar really high.

Amazing school! I worked there for over 2 years and can honestly say I would send my own child with…read morespecial needs their in a heart beat! Please consider opening a south Austin location as well have numerous south Austin Autism families that would benefit!
