We’re Changing the Standard of Care for Birthing People

Introducing the first-of-its-kind remote telehealth program dedicated entirely to you as you prepare for birth and enter postpartum recovery.

As you’re growing and birthing a baby, most providers focus primarily on your little one instead of preparing you for your upcoming birth and recovery.

We’re not most providers. We’re WAMOH, the only partner in your birth prep and postpartum recovery journey who’s dedicated completely to you. When you know how to prepare your body for birth and how to recover fully, you can better care for yourself and your new arrival.

You don’t need
to do it alone.

Did you know that people who receive shoulder or knee surgery are referred to physical or occupational therapists both before and after surgery? Meanwhile, someone in the process of growing and birthing a human doesn’t receive any.

Most other countries offer therapy as an automatic standard of care for birthing people. So why don’t we?

It’s time we create the change that we want in our own communities.

At WAMOH, we believe that every single person who decides to grow and birth a human deserves expert care and support.

“I started the program when I was 36 weeks pregnant and was unsure what the content was going to be, but after the first session I wished I would have started much earlier in my pregnancy.”

INTRODUCING:

The Empowered
Birth Program

This fully remote program has been thoughtfully curated by expert therapists with decades of experience working with people with pelvic health challenges stemming from pregnancy and birth.

    • Three prenatal telehealth visits, at approximately weeks 32, 34, and 36, with structured content at each visit to support the specific stage you’re in

Already coming to us for therapy?

You can pair the Empowered Birth Program telehealth sessions with your in-person therapy for a complete birthing care experience.

Research tells us that people receiving therapy within the first 30 days postpartum have less incidence of urine leakage, pelvic organ prolapse, and pain.

So why are most birthing people immediately pushed aside after birth?

At WAMOH, you are our number-one priority. Through the Empowered Birth Program, we bring expert birth prep and recovery care directly to you.

  • “Wow, just wow! After these sessions I felt so much more prepared for labor, and much less anxious. I had read about many of the topics I discussed with my therapist, but going through such important information with a professional in a 1:1 setting was incredible and helped ease my concerns and fears.”

  • “All pregnant women should have a course like this one as so much information is covered that my doctor didn’t bring up. I felt more prepared with questions that I didn’t even know I should have asked at my doctor visits.”

    – Empowered Birth Program Patient

  • “Although the sessions were virtual, it was very easy to follow along as my therapist frequently shared diagrams, photos, and step-by-step instructions. Each session was 45 minutes long, but they flew by because the content was everything I needed to know and so much more!”
