Get Personalized Help Finding the Right Pregnancy & Postpartum Support

Finding care shouldn’t be this hard.

If you’re pregnant or newly postpartum, chances are you’ve spent too much time searching online — trying to compare doulas, lactation consultants, pelvic floor specialists, or other services — and still aren’t sure who to trust or where to start. You may also be feeling frustrated sending your personal information out to many providers, only to not hear back in a timely manner.

You’re not alone. Many families struggle to find providers who are the right fit, who have availability, and who understand their needs.

Okkanti now offers a free one-on-one consultation with a care navigation team member who knows the local landscape of providers and specializes in making thoughtful, high-quality matches for families in the Chicago area.

This session is designed to help you:

  • Talk through what kind of care and support you’re looking for

  • Get a personalized list of trusted, vetted providers near you

  • Learn what to expect when booking with different types of specialists

  • Ask questions and feel confident about your next steps

You’ll walk away with a clear path forward — no more guesswork.

Wondering if you’re eligible?

This consultation service is available for any new or expecting parents in the Greater Chicago Metropolitan Area. Even if your due date isn’t for a while, we’re happy to help you sift through your options so you can feel empowered and prepared when the time comes.

FAQs

What is Okkanti? Is it an agency?

Rather than an agency, Okkanti is a platform modernizing the experience of finding and assembling care. We partner with the top agencies and providers in your local community as we make finding care safer for consumers and we help organizations reduce administrative burden.

How can this be free?

As we develop our platform for helping families find better care, we are piloting services like the Chicago Area Consultation to help determine which tools are most helpful for families like you. When you book with Okkanti, your care provider is operating on a HIPAA compliant platform while a nominal fee is taken from each transaction.

What are the fees for services?

Providers in our network set their own fees and packages.  As we learn about your needs and budget we will make recommendations accordingly. We also offer financing and flexibility options that you might decide are right for you as you invest in care.

Do you take insurance?

Providers in our network deliver a range of services, many of which might be covered by your insurance. We will help you optimize your available benefits by searching for experts who can take your plan whenever possible.

Are doulas in the network Carrot-certified?

We are working with many providers and agencies who have completed or are completing the new registration process launched by Carrot in August '25. Be sure to tell us what benefits you plan to use and we will help you find eligible providers for your due date and can assist with reimbursement documents.
