Private Childbirth Prep

What to Expect

WombWise honors the sacredness of pregnancy and empowers you with knowledge and the tools for a transformative birth experience. It is our passion to remove the fear and doubt while uncovering the confidence and grace within you to create a beautiful and meaningful birth for you, your partner, and your baby.  These childbirth prep sessions are lead by a unique team of expert professionals including,  Dr. Heather Akins, PT, DPT - a Pelvic Health Therapist and Brooke Cannoot, MS OTR, TPS, Doula with specialties in Therapeutic Pain Management and ancient knowledge, including yoga.  This is a holistic childbirth experience, preparing not just your body for birth but your mind, your heart, and your soul. This is a very special spiritual time in your life and we will guide you to fully embrace it with love, strength, and connection.  At WombWise, our private childbirth preparation blends expert pelvic-health guidance with soulful, personalized support. You’ll learn how your pelvic anatomy works in labor, how to use breath, movement, and positioning to protect your pelvic floor, and evidence-based techniques to calm your nervous system—promoting the natural hormone release that eases pain. Together, we explore a variety of pain management strategies so you can find what works best for your body and birth. Each session includes centering, meditation, and connection with your baby, helping you release fear, deepen trust, and welcome birth as a profound rite of passage. Partners (if present) gain practical tools for supportive touch, communication, and advocacy. This package includes four 2-hour sessions: three before your baby’s arrival and one postpartum, tailored to your body, preferences, and birth plan. We prepare you for both the physical mechanics and transformative spirit of birth—leaving you empowered, embodied, and ready for the journey ahead. These sessions will be provided in the comfort of your own home or if you prefer, at our studio in Canal Winchester, OH.
