Founders
Anne Leclercq
My name is Anne Caron Leclercq, and I am an experienced certified midwife in both Europe and the US. Over the past 20 years, I have worked in Belgium, France, and the US, including hospitals, personal practice, and the Austin Area Birthing Center. My husband and I moved to Austin, Texas, from France in 2012 with our two eldest children, and our youngest son was born in Austin. I am also an IBCLC, a Natural Family Planning teacher, a certified Haptotherapist, having received my certification from CIRDH in 2012. Haptonomy, widely used in Europe, helps parents-to-be function as partners in parenting before birth. I am the only practicing Haptotherapist in the US. Certifications: * Pre-Postnatal Aquatic Childbirth Education (Aquarius @Ostende Belgium, 2005) * Haptotherapist Certification (CIRDH, 2012) * IBCLC Certification (2023) * Marquette Method NFP Teacher (in process, 2023-2024) My passion for being a mother and midwife inspires me to help others have a relaxing and non-stressful birthing experience. Professional Experience: I began my midwife career in Europe supporting families during birth and postpartum. I worked as a self-employed midwife and at a local hospital in France, providing prenatal education and perineal reeducation. In the US, I have supported women through pregnancy, delivery, and post-birth, and as an IBCLC, I help women enjoy their breastfeeding journey. I am also now focused on helping women understand their bodies and fertility better.
Alissane Caron
My name is Alissane Caron, I am a mother of 2 little girls. I have been a physical therapist since 2015. At first, I spent a year in a rehabilitation center specializing in neurology. I then worked as a freelancer in Marseille, focusing on neurology and perineology, which are the two specialties of my job that I like the most. What I love about my job is the support and proximity to patients. I am happy to see them regularly to help them get better. I am here to support, I cannot be an actor in your rehabilitation for you but I am a support and a guide to follow and support you towards well-being. This is what my job is: to guide, advise, correct and offer patients solutions to get better. For this, I am here to teach you how to stretch, strengthen, intensify or not the exercises. I have been working since 2017 in Guadeloupe, in a multidisciplinary practice with balneotherapy, we are 9 physical therapists and we discuss a lot about our practices and how to best help our patients. The training I have done allows me to have a holistic and specific support for each person. Listening, understanding and decoding the ailments of the body, that is my job. My professional experience : I am trained in abdominal-diaphragmatic breathing, with the Guillarme method in 2016, which is a global rehabilitation method based on an expiratory brake. I then did my initiation to perineology with the IPPP in 2016. I was trained in Marseille in babywearing techniques, infant decluttering and pediatric massage. Since 2022, I have the pylate Matwork 1 certification.
