Join in on the conversation

Here’s why

You want to support and serve families, build connections with doulas and other health care practitioners, improve maternal health outcomes for all.

Or you’re active in making doula, community health and family support services more accessible to a diverse group of communities.

We know that doulas hold the key to closing the disparity gap in pregnancy care and improving outcomes for all birthing people.

We can continue the momentum built in recent years by health policy changemakers and system transformers.

But we believe we need to do it together.

Solving for improving maternal health and the rights of all people to experience wellbeing not only saves lives, reduces low-birth weight and pre-term birth, and improves the quality of life for people around the globe, the doula model of care can save billions of dollars in preventable health care spending.

Community is what we build together

Okkanti is a platform designed to empower and to serve those who are called to improve health equity and to build generational health. Bringing together industry experts and skilled healthcare professionals, we aim to ensure that doulas and families have a voice in their communities.

The idea for this community was born from the direct experiences of doulas, lactation consultants and postpartum care providers, and the belief that awareness, compassion and innovation is needed more than ever in the healthcare industry.

Your voice, your wisdom and your perspective will help build the foundation of our community. And we believe that our collective wisdom will create more equitable opportunities for parents, doulas and other healthcare workers to learn from each other and to build a diverse ecosystem—creating unstoppable momentum in our efforts to transform maternal and reproductive health.

A look at our progress and milestones

2020-2022

Ideation and Customer Discovery

We talked with 100 pregnant people looking for care and an equal number of doula insights to envision a community-led pregnancy care platform. Okkanti is formed in June 2022.

Q1 2023

Community Co-Design

Co-designing with birth collectives, individual doulas, midwifery students, and agencies, the concept of the Care Collective formed to provide an exchange of learning and mentorship. Our team works on a prototype for a platform that could make it easier to find a doula, and easier to be one.

MVP of the CareFinder Launches

Starting with a pilot organization and 23 doulas, the CareFinder goes live.

Q2 2024

Serving Pregnant Careseekers and Subscribers: Early Revenue

Okkanti establishes consistent growth of subscribers, the doulas and other service providers who offer care on the CareFinder, growing 370% from our initial pilot over 3 quarters. We begin accepting bookings on the all-in-one scheduling, booking and practice management platform.
