Chiropractor + Licensed Midwife | FounderAutumn is the founder and heart of Café of Life. A chiropractor for more than 20 years and now a Licensed Midwife, her work has always lived at the intersection of chiropractic, pregnancy and birth.
After decades of caring for women through pregnancy, attending more than 1,000 births alongside Dallas midwives and OBs, and teaching prenatal chiropractic internationally, Autumn felt called to understand birth even more deeply. That journey ultimately led her to become a midwife herself.
Today, she brings both perspectives to her work; seeing pregnancy, birth, postpartum and the nervous system through the eyes of both a chiropractor and a midwife.
A mother of four, Autumn's work is rooted in a deep respect for the intelligence of the body, informed choice, and helping women trust themselves through pregnancy, birth and motherhood.

Early in his life, Tom was drawn towards a life dedicated to serving humanity through the healing arts. As the son of a medical doctor, raised on the Texas/Mexico border, Tom witnessed the abilities & limitations of our current healthcare system from a young age.
A dedicated martial artist since the age of 10, Tom developed discipline and mastery from the practice but also the body stress and pains from the intense workouts. Seeking a natural means to heal and continue to grow, he found his wellbeing restored by Chiropractic and also his professional purpose in life.
Tom is a gentle, loving father & a compassionate Chiropractor with one goal - to live & teach the Innate principles of Chiropractic & contribute to elevating the consciousness of humankind.

From a young age Phillip always felt compelled to help others. In high school he spent half of his day in regular classes and the other half in a medical high school. Upon graduating college he took over instructing anatomy labs. Through teaching the beauty of the human body and the all inspiring power within it, Phillip found his calling, leading him to the hands on healing art of Chiropractic and the missing piece that he had been searching for.
Through Chiropractic Phillip has been able to find healing mind, body and soul; ultimately connecting with his true self. He is caring, thoughtful and passionate. Phillip loves his family, friends, and the beautiful souls that he is able to serve.
His passion has always been based on one notion: come as you are and let’s grow together. He is a missing piece Autumn and Tom had been searching for and he completes the Cafe team in divine design.
