Alexis Edwards is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Supervisor (LCSW-S) and Certified Doula in Austin, TX. She is passionate about improving outcomes for birthing people and normalizing the highs and lows that come with new parenthood. Reminding parents that they too (not just baby) deserve to be nurtured along the way. Alexis shares her knowledge on how to advocate for your own needs and offer support to the needs of those around you going through perinatal struggles. Oftentimes clients do not even know they’ve experienced trauma. Let’s be a nonjudgmental, safe place for people going through the perinatal period.
