Building Your Village: Maternal Care Resources We Love in Austin, Texas
At Chiyo, we know that mothers deserve care above and beyond.
Through our Moms Off Duty event series, we've had the opportunity to connect with incredible communities across the country, and one thing has become clear: when mothers are supported, families thrive.
To continue celebrating the people doing that work every day, we partnered with Birth Co in Austin to highlight some of the practitioners and care providers helping families navigate fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood throughout Central Texas.
Why Maternal Care in Austin Feels Different
"One thing I've learned about practicing in Austin is that the providers here are incredible and so collaborative," shares Sarah, Director of Operations of Birth Co.
"The birth professional community is tight knit and always willing to work together to get the best outcomes for patients."
That spirit of collaboration is one of the things that makes Austin's maternal wellness community so unique. Families have access to an impressive range of support, from conventional medical care to holistic wellness services, creating opportunities to build care teams that are both comprehensive and personalized.
"We also have such a strong variety in wellness services and tools for families to utilize."
What to Look for When Building Your Care Team
When asked what advice she'd offer women seeking support, Sarah emphasized the importance of connection and trust.
"There are so many amazing professionals, especially in Austin. I highly recommend finding professionals that truly make you feel valued and cared about."
Building a care team isn't simply about checking boxes, it's about finding providers who listen, understand your goals, and help you feel supported as a whole person.

A Final Word for Austin Moms
From Sarah:
"Moms deserve to invest in their own health and to be cared for by a team."
She encourages mothers to remember that the support they provide for everyone else starts with caring for themselves, too.
"You are so important for your family, and the load you carry day to day is so big. Let others be there to care and support you."
