Okay, mamas, now let’s get in formation…. And give it up for the Women Owned Businesses in Austin!
Yelp announced it’s She-conomy report, with Austin taking number one on the list amongst Americas largest cities, with a 34% increase in women-owned businesses in Austin opening between 2022 & 2023. How cool is that?!
Having an incredible line-up of Women Owned Businesses, ladies who dream it, work hard, and grind till they own not only helps pave the way for other women, but for the younger generation, giving them a legacy of strong female role models.

As a child I was once inspired by a woman who changed the trajectory of my life, my dance teacher, and because of this not a day goes by that I don’t think of the impact that I have on each bright-eyed child that walks through the doors of my own business, Hello Dancer.
As an adult, I look to women like Kendra Scott, who’s businesses took off beyond their wildest dream. What I love about her is, she believes in giving back, and not just paving the way for other women, but empowering them how to do the same.
They say that “Behind every successful woman is a tribe of other successful women who have her back and are cheering her on.”
So grab your boots and let’s take a mini tour of some of the Women Owned Businesses in Austin! This isn’t just about shopping, it’s about connecting, and building a community where women hi-5 other ladies, keeping Austin wildly empowering.

ME! April Peters. I’m your Fairy Dance Godmother… I create magical experiences with dance education for children who LOVE to dance! Your child will love dancing in our Austin, TX studio, located centrally in the heart Rosedale. At Hello Dancer Austin, you can expect a dance education that prioritizes whole child learning, building a solid foundation in dance, is wildly creative and imaginative, allows kids to be kids, and is a magical experience for all.
Noëlle Westcott is an Austin, Texas photographer who specializes in classic children’s heirloom vignette portraits, families, newborn, maternity, and lifestyle branding photography. Her sessions involve corny jokes, goofy faces, dancing, staring contests, tickling, and lots and lots of open-mouth-laugh-out-loud-kind-of-silliness and joy. Her goal is to make you comfortable and to have a good time. Beautiful, authentic, and emotive pictures are just a result. Does this sound like what you are looking for?

Tori Chaffin is “a mother, wife, personal trainer, Birthfit coach, doula, & owner of Lioness Birth Training. I believe every woman has the right to a beautiful & fulfilling birth experience. When Mammas work with her, she coaches them on how to unleash their power. The majority of her pregnancy is spent building a trusting relationship & preparing for birth through education, safe exercise, nourishment counseling, & mindset work. She loves being present with Mammas from their first trimester to getting her settled at home after baby. What a privilege it is to experience the miracle of life & work with such amazing women.”
Patrice Hernandez is author, visionary, and master of the art of slow living. When she’s not hanging with her fam, you can catch her searching for magic in the mundane, splashing kindness, and teaching folks how to create killer vision boards that actually work. With a zest for life and a passion for all things creative, Patrice is the go-to gal for anyone looking to add a little sparkle and wonder to their world. If you want to live your best life, follow Patrice’s lead and let the good times roll! https://patriceshawntia.com/ or on Instagram.
Stephanie Anne Studios is a newborn, maternity & child portrait photographer specializing in creating photographic artwork for your home. YOU become artwork when imagery is strategically planned to coordinate with your home’s decor and printed to the exact perfect size for your space. It’s an investment as timeless as the moment it captures. In the blink of an eye, your baby will grow into a child and your child into an adult. As you try to hold on tight to those small specific gestures, quirks and smirks, they still fade away. They just grow too darn quick! For more, check out Instagram.
Ali Tierney, Austin Moms Editor and Communications Manager, is a mama, fangirl and author. Her love for music landed her a Top 40 radio gig. Since moving to Austin and becoming a mother, she turned her love for boy bands into a business–starting with her very first Children’s book!
Jami Stigliano (author of this post and CEO and “Head Diva”) began choreographing dance routines for herself and friends way back when Madonna, Mariah, Janet, and Paula Abdul were topping the charts. Jami is now dedicated to helping empower every adult across America, creating fulfilling and consistent jobs for choreographers and dance teachers, and helping women start and run their own business through our franchising opportunity with DivaDance!
