These clinics were beautiful inclusive spaces for in-depth training in energetic healing work and self-caring practices through the lens of Pranic healing! Our little Rainbow Tribe would always have the opportunity to have coffee at the nearby Starbucks to decompress and discuss that weeks coursework. The Unity Hills clinic is understood to be an intensive training space for Pranic practitioners in the Austin area. Danny emphasizes a very disciplined approach to training, so there's a lot of homework and self-study on traditional eastern medicine and western mystic practices. This is a place to go if you're wanting to accelerate from Basic to Arhatic level within 5 yrs, so go if you're looking to really master pranic material and level up at an intense pace.

I love the warm welcome here as I do also attend other services in Austin. Some churches don't care for visitors believe it or not. St Vincent De Paul is the opposite and I love the short drive given Sunday traffic. They also offer a very early mass which I Love! They also have several for late risers. Do arrive on time or you will have to wait until the Gospel. Not much to ask so that everyone can enjoy the mass even if you are running late. They have ample parking and easy in and out; so refreshing. There are ways to view the mass from outside or with the children. Wonderful church and Parish.

Our journey with Hill Country Christian School began in a unique and very personal way. I first…read morejoined the Hill Country family as a middle school girls volleyball coach in 2019 and was later hired on as a teacher in 2022. What I couldn't have predicted then was how much joy this place would bring to my family and me. Very early on, I knew in my heart that I wanted my own children to experience that same joy, love, and purpose. One of the most beautiful things about Hill Country is how the school truly lives out its mission: to know your child, love your child, and prepare your child. The teachers go above and beyond in caring for my child not just academically, but spiritually and emotionally. Every day, I see the intentional ways they invest in him, and it's deeply moving as both a parent and an educator. The spiritual growth I've witnessed in my son has been incredible. He's only in Pre-K, but already he's learning to pray, engaging with God's Word, and building a foundation that will last a lifetime. Hearing him pray every night before bed, without prompting, is one of the greatest blessings I could ever ask for as a mom. What makes Hill Country especially impactful is how every subject is taught through a Biblical worldview. It's not just about teaching math or reading; it's about teaching truth, character, and purpose. Our children are learning to love Jesus through every lesson and every experience. This matters so much to our family because we want our children to grow in their relationship with Christ, not just know about Him. Hill Country creates endless opportunities for families to be involved and serve together. It's a place where students and families are encouraged to be the hands and feet of Jesus in every area of life. That kind of culture is rare. If I had to choose one main reason to recommend Hill Country to a friend, it would be this: community. You will find a deeply caring, Christ-centered community here. We support each other in tangible ways through prayers, shared meals, encouraging words, and acts of kindness. It truly feels like family.

We had a very disappointing experience at Hill Country Christian School. My son struggled to stay…read moreengaged and focused, and instead of working with us as parents, the principal, Tracy, took it upon herself to intervene in ways that crossed boundaries. After I had specifically told her I would speak with both the teacher and my son's pediatrician, she removed my son from class and told him directly that he needed to see a doctor for his behavior. When I picked him up, he was crying and asking, "What's wrong with me, Mom?" No child should be put in that position, and that conversation should never have been had with him -- that was my responsibility as his parent. This was not an isolated incident. I had emails to teachers go unanswered, and overall the partnership we expected from a private school simply was not there. Since leaving, I've learned that other families have had similar experiences, where the principal seemed to push an ADHD diagnosis despite disagreement from teachers and parents. In our case, both my son's third- and fourth-grade teachers at HCCS and his pediatrician did not believe he had ADHD. When my son transferred mid-year into public school, the difference was night and day. His new teacher said he was incredibly bright, just likely bored, and he immediately began thriving. He made straight A's, came home happy, and was excited to return to school each day. The contrast showed me that the problem was not with my son but with the way he was being handled at HCCS. We expected much better from a private institution, but sadly, our experience was one of disappointment, lack of communication, and a principal who placed her opinion above parents, teachers, and even doctors.

My husband and I toured several daycares before deciding on OWM. The Director Tonya really took her time and explained how this daycare ran with clear expectations. We were super picky about where we wanted our daughter to go - with care and safety as our #1 priority. Our daughter loves it here and we feel like she is in wonderful hands (Ms. Megan & Ms. Vivian are her teachers and Ms. Sarah greets us at the door). We get updates throughout the day with detailed summary after we pick her up. She's learning a ton and she's only 1 (Montessori work & educational songs). I highly recommend this daycare! :)

I visited Hill Country Bible Church hoping to find connection during a personal "church crisis."…read moreI'd struggled to bond with others at previous churches, and this was my last-ditch effort. I arranged to meet a church member to get a feel for the place on a Sunday morning. The campus is massive--parking was a nightmare, the sermon hall felt like a stadium, and the hallways were a maze. The sermon itself? Same generic message I've heard countless times. I was craving something bold, raw, and real--something to shake me out of my rut. This wasn't it. The sheer size of the congregation--thousands of heads in front of me--made it impossible to feel seen or connected. I had some hope with the church member who showed me around. He was kind and I opened up about my struggles, but the follow-up was disappointing. I got a text from him six weeks later. Excited for a potential connection, I replied quickly. His response? Two days later. This pattern continued--me responding promptly, him taking days to reply. When he finally suggested coffee, I shared my availability right away. Three days later, he responded. By then, I was done. I told him politely to forget it. Suddenly, he was texting back instantly, insisting he wouldn't "let me go." It felt forced and too late. With their $15,000 to $20,000-a-year per student private school, pristine facilities, and massive attendance, it's clear Hill Country doesn't need me--or you. I came looking for authentic Christian community and left feeling invisible. After this, I've given up on finding a church. If you're seeking a personal, engaging faith community, this might not be the place.
