  • “Best decision I made for not only my baby, but for my well-being too!”

    Prior to working with Strive Pediatrics, my 3 month old & I struggled! We struggled to breastfeed, my son’s neck was barely visible & always had red line’s & extremely difficult to clean. My son had a lip & tongue tie that needed to be released & I was hesitant about the entire thing. Her help was instrumental in my son’s tongue tie recovery. With her help & guidance, we are back to breastfeeding exclusively & my baby actually has a neck & is much more content! Thank you for everything. Best decision I made for not only my baby, but for my well-being too!

  • “Working with Strive Pediatrics was one of the best decisions I made early on in my postpartum journey”

    My son had oral tensions that was impacting breastfeeding, and with the help of Katie he was given stretches that made improvements quickly and effectively. This in-home service has been incredibly convenient and constructive in improving my sons feeding issues, all done with compassion and clarity the entire way.I would highly recommend Strive Pediatrics to any new mom and baby!

  • “We have had the best experience at Strive and cannot recommend it enough.”

    We have had the best experience at Strive and cannot recommend it enough. We sought out PT for our little one when he was not walking at 16 months old. Kayla spent time getting to know our little one and made him feel comfortable with her. Her approach of therapy helped our little one start walking within 4 sessions. Thank you Kayla for being an amazing support!

  • “ If you’re not local in Austin I recommend trying virtually!”

    Dr Katie is an exceptional therapist. I’m in a different city and I have been doing Virtual PT sessions for my son who has torticollis. Our sessions over the phone are great and she helps teaches me exercises and stretches to do at home. I used to take my kid to a therapist here in Houston but after being recommended Katie I have seen huge improvements in my sons torticolis and walking. If you’re not local in Austin I recommend trying her virtually!

  • “Strive Pediatrics is truly exceptional! This was my first time with a practitioner like her, and I wish I had had her for my other two children”

    Dr. Katie at Strive Pediatrics is truly exceptional! Her expertise in enhancing feeding, tongue mobility, strength, oral posture, and relieving body tension made a significant difference for our baby. This was my first time with a practitioner like her, and I wish I had had her for my other two children! I think she would’ve made a huge difference with so many nursing challenges!My experience was outstanding, and I highly recommend Dr. Katie for her skill and dedication to improving infant well-being! 5 stars.
