About Heather & Brooke
Dr. Heather Akins, DPT
Pelvic Health Physical Therapist
Brooke Cannoot, MS OTR/L, TPS
Occupational Therapist, Doula & Therapeutic Pain Specialist.
Heather and Brooke's journey together began over eight years ago at Mount Carmel Home Care, where they first connected as colleagues—Heather as a Physical Therapist and Brooke as an Occupational Therapist. United by their passion for empowering others during the transformative time of pregnancy and birth, they have since deepened their expertise, with Heather specializing in Pelvic Health and Brooke becoming a Therapeutic Pain Specialist and Childbirth Doula.
This powerful partnership combines Heather's knowledge of the biomechanics of birth -pelvis and pelvic floor with Brooke's understanding of the neurology of birth to manage pain and reduce fear. This creates a unique, holistic approach to prepare you for childbirth and the fourth trimester.
Together, they also explore the spiritual dimensions of pregnancy, drawing from ancient Vedic practices, energy healing techniques, and yoga to help you to connect heart and soul with their baby during this sacred journey.
