“Where to begin?! I cannot say enough good things about my experience with the Akin platform.
The compassionate, holistic, collaborative care I received from each provider was unparalleled to any model of care I’ve experienced - start to finish. From integrative midwifery consults and virtual labor support with the amazing Hayley Oakes, to lactation support with Evonne, to pelvic floor therapy; I really felt as though I had a full team behind me at all times that I could turn to without question. Throughout my pregnancy and into my postpartum journey it was clear that each of my providers were in regular communication and up to date on where I was at - both physically and emotionally. If I needed to bring on a new provider at any point, I knew I would be in good hands, with a group that already knew me and my health history. This was extraordinarily comforting.
Hayley Oakes is an angel in human form, and if you’re questioning whether her services are for you, this is your sign to BOOK HER :) Hayley’s nurturing wisdom and practical advice during our consultations helped prepare both my body and mind for birth and postpartum. During labor, she was integral in helping my partner position me to keep things moving along - setting intentions but releasing expectations. Hayley empowered me to make informed decisions about my care, (and ultimately have the birth I wanted), for which I will be forever grateful.
The Akin platform is a beautiful example of what great continuous care can look like- and living proof that knowledge is power, always. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!”
“Loved using Akin through my pregnancy. While I had a "normal" pregnancy, I still had plenty of surprises and discomfort as my body changed. I value how the team helped take care of me, reduced my anxiety, and supported me through a healthy birth and postpartum. Thank you!”
“I am so grateful to have a resource like Akin. Throughout my pregnancy, the advice, care and individual attention to my questions and needs have been thorough and personal. Although I am choosing a hospital birth, I've found it extremely beneficial to have access to Akin's network of thoughtful, medically informed healthcare professionals who come from a more wholistic world of healthcare. Thank you Akin!”
““Akin is ‘all-in-one’ care for everything I need postpartum to feel my best. The providers work together as a part of your care team. Like, they actually talk to each other. For me, this meant no longer having to repeat my health history and difficult birth story to every.single.new.provider.””
“I had a tough journey to motherhood with 5 rounds of IVF, one miscarriage and eventually one live birth. Akin supported me through this journey with accupuncture, pelvic floor therapist, and eventually mental health professionals that specialized in traumatic births. My labor and delivery were incredibly complicated and without Akin help and support postpartum would have been even more challenging.”
“I wish every health care company or institution knew what Akin knows—that women need a community of empathetic, science-based, thoughtful practitioners to support them through various stages of bringing life into the world. I always looked forward to my appointments with Akin. I wish I could gift the Akin experience to anyone I know going through fertility treatments, pregnancy or post partum.”
