Amanda weaves together nearly twenty years of experience as a pediatric speech-language pathologist with the yogic and shamanic traditions. She is passionate about empowering and educating others so they can navigate the world confidently. Her holistic approach addresses building connection and communication on the physical, mental, and spiritual or energetic levels.

In her practice, PachaYoga & Healing, Amanda facilitates deep, soul level healing by releasing emotional or physical trauma, grief, fear, negative patterns/habits, and blocks. She offers individually designed practices and sessions for continued support to anchor in the energetic shifts, inviting one to be an active participant throughout the healing journey and to co-create with source in everyday life.

As the owner of Leaps with Language, she provides alternative education, therapy, and consultations for children with speech-language disorders and learning differences, specializing in treating children diagnosed with brain injury and Autism Spectrum Disorder. She incorporates knowledge and practices from a variety of disciplines, as well as the healing arts.

Amanda is excited to impart the powerful medicine and tools which have been extremely effective in transforming her own life. She shares her medicine through individual sessions, consultations, customized ceremonies, workshops, speaking, and writing. Her six-year-old son and the families she sees daily are her continual teachers. She holds the vision for a holistic medical model that is inclusive of connection and spiritual healing for well-being.

My name is Amy Lauer, M.S CCC-SLP. I am a Speech-Language Pathologist/Speech Therapist offering in-person and online speech therapy to pediatric and adult clients. I provide in person sessions at my home office in Cedar Park and also travel to clients in their homes, schools, and community spaces in the Austin area and beyond.

My approach is both results oriented and evidenced based that is tailored to the individual needs of each client.

I treat a variety of communication needs associated with:

• Childhood Apraxia of Speech
• Acquired Apraxia of Speech
• Articulation Disorders
• Autism Spectrum Disorders
• Cognitive-Communication Disorders
• Dyslexia/Reading Disorders
• Expressive Language Disorders
• Learning Disabilities
• Receptive Language Disorders
• Social Communication Disorders
• Speech Delay

I believe that each client is unique and should be treated in a way that best serves their needs and communication goals.

My therapy is very dynamic and focused on helping each client to integrate our session work into their daily lives. This helps to make their communication the most effective that it can be and ultimately helps each client achieve their communication goals. My work with pediatric clients is play-based and I include parents in the session as often as possible. After each session, I provide follow up so that the therapy activities can be targeted beyond our session time, allowing for even more opportunities for growth.
