The Womb Room

I had a great experience with Savanna from the Womb Room. She was my post partum doula and started when I really needed help with my first child. She was wonderful and kind and a great listener, plus she took amazing care of my son every time she was here. Cannot thank her enough for getting me through a tough time with her help.

My daughter and I recently starting attending Baby and Me Yoga and it has been such a wonderful experience. Allison is so kind, warm, and welcoming. We look forward to her class every week.

First time parents working with Zainab Chopra as a postpartum doula. I cannot say enough good things about Zainab.

Neither my husband nor myself have family in the area so we knew we wanted a doula to help us the first few weeks while I recovered and we learned how to raise a baby.

Zainab was perfect! She was reliable, communicative and knowledgeable. She showed my husband and I how to do things such as swaddling, baby wearing, nail trimming and bathing.

In addition to showing us all things baby related she was an open book of baby knowledge including everything from skin care to milestones.

As a human she was wonderful to work with and her cooking is amazing.

Finally, she was so meticulous and took such good care of our baby, we knew we could count on her for helping with chores such as washing bottles or folding laundry and for watching the baby while we slept in, took showers, or just relaxed.

Would absolutely work with Zainab again — she is amazing, we love her and so does our baby

Our Doula Shanté was absolutely incredible! I truly do not think I would have been able to deliver my sweet baby boy fully unmedicated if it weren’t for her knowledge, support, and positive attitude throughout the entire process. My husband was skeptical of hiring a doula prior to our birth experience and now it’s the #1 thing he has been recommending to our friends/family who are expecting soon. We could not be happier with our experience!

I am so grateful that I found lactation consultant Jonelle through the Womb Room. She came right to our home and provided an incredible amount of guidance throughout our lactation journey. I struggled with milk production and my baby’s weight gain, but with her support I’ve been able to successfully breastfeed and help my baby grow nice and chubby. I truly don't think I would have been successful without her. Beyond her expertise, she is exceptionally kind, passionate, and practical—an absolute joy to be around and to get to know.

Shannon was amazing! The birth of my son didn’t go as planned but she was supportive and helpful every step of the way and made the experience as positive and memorable as possible. She asked the nurses things on my behalf that I forgot I had even expressed an interest in. She wasn’t just there to support me, but she routinely checked in with my partner too. Definitely highly recommend!

We couldn't be happier with our experience attending childbirth education classes at The Womb Room! As first-time parents, there was so much we didn't know before taking these classes and we feel much better prepared for birth, postpartum, and our first few weeks/months with a newborn. We especially enjoyed learning alongside other prospective parents and sharing our fears, anxieties, and experiences in a group setting. Thanks Kristie and team for being such valuable resources during this important phase of our lives!

The Womb Room has been an invaluable resource for my partner and I as we have navigated preparing for our first child. Not only have the childbirth education classes been incredibly informative, its focus on building community has helped normalize my partner and I's fears and questions about pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. Kristie is supportive, honest, and helped us to feel empowered in identifying our own birth and postpartum care preferences and modeled how we can advocate for ourself when working with our medical providers. I cannot recommend The Womb Room enough for first time parents!

We had a wonderful experience with the private classes led by the Womb Room team. It was practical, grounded in research as well as common sense. The class left us feeling more comfortable and ready for this new phase. We highly recommend using the Womb Room for those preparing for their parenting journey.

I really enjoyed the prenatal yoga classes and community at the womb room. Emily Cuoto’s classes are so thoughtful and formed with intention. I love that she always creates a new flow for each class. It is clear she understands how to move and progress, each pose building on the next, in a safe way no matter what stage of pregnancy you are in. The only thing I wish is that there were postnatal yoga classes for the birthing parent, I would definitely attend!

In the 7th month of my pregnancy, I decided that I wanted to pursue a VBAC after a traumatic birthing experience with my first child. I reached out to The Womb Room about the possibility of hiring a birth doula to help me and my husband navigate the VBAC attempt and a more positive birthing experience this time around. They responded immediately and connected me with several doulas who reached out to introduce themselves to see if we were a good match. Each doula I spoke with provided me with a detailed overview of their background and services and allowed me the space and time to choose who I thought would be the best fit for our situation and personalities. I felt a connection with Morgan and requested to have her as our Birth Doula and am so happy with this decision! Morgan was supportive, informative, intuitive, responsive and warm from the moment we first spoke through our postpartum visit. She provided information and education that allowed me to make informed decisions regarding my birth plan but also helped to manage my expectations during my time in the hospital. Morgan provided the safe and loving support I needed after a previous traumatic birthing experience and this was vital in giving me a more positive experience the second time around. She also came to my home for a postpartum visit and allowed me the time and space to process the experience with her, and this alone was more helpful than I could ever put into words. The Womb Room provided me with postpartum doula resources in the event that I may need these services as well. I felt so supported and cared for throughout my entire experience with The Womb Room and highly recommend them to anyone in need of the vast array of services they offer!

My partner and I took the one-day Holistic Childbirth Essentials class yesterday and we had a great experience. Kristie is a phenomenal childbirth educator and her training as a teacher really shows! We both learned a lot in the class and were sent home with even more materials for additional reading. I felt the class was a good mix of direct instruction, videos, Q&As, and hands-on technique. Totally clear to me why The Womb Room is so highly recommended across Baltimore (and even the whole state of Maryland since we were the only couple at yesterday's class who live locally!) If you live further away, but you're considering a class or event at The Womb Room, it's definitely worth the drive.

my husband and i got the 4-class package from the womb room and absolutely loved each one we took!! jonelle’s infant feeding course was so reassuring and informative, and odile’s classes on postpartum & baby basics and holistic childbirth essentials were just incredible. she gave us both so much calm and confidence going into this journey and we are so grateful for her expertise and guidance!! the womb room is truly just a little haven here in baltimore 💛

10/10! We took the Holistic Birthing class with Odile. She was very knowledgeable, engaging, kind, and packed everything she could in the 7 hour class. I would recommend this class to any first time moms. Also, the building is beautiful, the classroom was large and roomy with large windows and lots of natural light, and there’s a parking lot! SO many great things to say all around.

I am so glad I found this place when I got pregnant! Prenatal yoga has been such a highlight of the experience, especially the opportunity to connect directly with other pregnant folks. Allison's Saturday morning classes have helped me feel more prepared for birth, and Mariyam's great cueing on Wednesday evenings have helped me understand my pelvic floor better.

I also took the "Pelvic Floor Mechanics" workshop with Brielle and Dr. Joy, and I can't believe it's not standard for all birthing people! I learned so much valuable information about labor and delivery and how to help it along naturally.

My only suggestion is to more regularly include pronouns and non-femme language, since not every birthing person is a woman.

The Womb Room is an awesome community and a great resource for parents. I love their prenatal and baby & me yoga classes. My husband and I also met our postpartum doula, Sunni, through the Womb Room. I can’t recommend Sunni enough! Sunni’s warm demeanor and positivity made us feel so comfortable and supported. Sunni is very experienced and helped us a tremendous amount in those early sleepless days. I highly recommend Sunni if you’re looking for doula support!

We had the best, most empowering essentials of childbirth class with Odile at Womb Room. My partner and I learned so much, and I feel so much more prepared for my hospital birth, no matter what interventions may come. I am so grateful to have the holistic package from Womb Room so that I can take so many of their amazing and supportive classes and offerings. Thanks, Odile and Womb Room team!

I have enjoyed working with Jonelle since my daughter was only a month or so old. She is so warm and supportive and brings so much knowledge with her on latching, supply, pumping, oral tie release exercises/care and so much more! Her recommendations encouraged me to find a PT and subsequently start early interventions for torticolis which I am so grateful for. She is great with my daughter and I have always felt that we are both in great hands. 10/10 recommend!!

Sunni was our postpartum doula at a very challenging time after birth and I can't tell enough about how valuable their support has been. Sunni has a kind, calm presence and is very good at anticipating a caregiver's needs even after being with you for a short time. In addition to helping with our infant's care and light housework, Sunni provided us with resources on things such as lactation and local events for families. I loved the outlines they shared from the day spent with us that laid out our son's feeding and wake time schedule. Sunni not only played with our son when he was awake but also spent time with our toddler and dog when he was asleep!! They all loved her. Just like her name suggests, Sunni brings a bright, positive presence to the lives of families they support. We are very happy to have gotten to know Sunni!

Morgan made all the difference for my birth experience with my second. We didn't have to chance to meet her prior to labor as she was filling in for our doula who was sick at the time. Despite this, her calming and nurturing presence combined with her skills and reassuring confidence put me at ease with her immediately. She could anticipate my needs and meet them before I was even aware of them myself. Whenever I felt panicky or started to lose focus, she was able to help me center myself again and channel that energy towards the baby. My husband also felt very comfortable with her and appreciated the ideas and techniques she suggested. We both are confident that we would have had a much different and worse experience without Morgan by my side. I couldn't have done it without her!

Kristie encapsulated my placenta and it was such an amazing experience. I was so worried about sending my placenta out somewhere and when she said she would be coming to my house I was so excited. She walked me through all the steps and allowed me to watch the whole process! She is so kind and personable it was like having a friend over and not awkward at all! She also taught a class I took at the womb room! That not only instilled in me that the information I knew was right but I was able to learn so much more. The class was such a chill non stressful environment and Kristie is such a fun teacher! I will definitely be returning to her and the womb room for services with my next baby! Highly highly recommend for all mommas and partners!!!

Kristie taught an excellent Holistic Birthing Class! She is empathetic and educated. The curriculum was written and illustrated in a way that made the information approachable. My husband and I enjoyed the group environment. We were supported and encouraged by everyone. Our experience was so positive that we ended up moving forward with finding a doula to help us continue with education and support during the rest of pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum. I am so thankful that The Womb Room exists. They are here to empower and comfort you!

Their holistic childbirth birth class was excellent! It was informative, and my partner and I left feeling so much more prepared for labor and delivery. The environment is warm and welcoming and really centers the person giving birth in an empowering way. Being able to learn from and ask questions of the facilitator and doula with 20+ years of experience made it so worthwhile.

The one day Holistic Childbirth Essentials class was incredible. There’s so much information out there and it can be super overwhelming at times, so we were more than happy when Kristie presented information and strategies that were meaningful and specific to our needs. The most meaningful takeaway for me was understanding my rights and the function of interventions and decision I make in the delivery room. The comfort measures section gave my partner more confidence in his ability to support me during labor, delivery, and advocacy throughout the process.

We purchased the Complete Eduction package and Unlimited yoga to prepare for our sons arrival. Going to these classes really calmed my anxiety around birthing and the birth experience. I felt empowered to make the right decisions for myself and my family. My partner and I learned what to expect and how to advocate for me during labor and delivery rather than just doing whatever they said. All of the instructors here are so friendly and they answer all of your questions thoroughly. Additionally, each of the 4 classes sent us home with a workbook with more information in it that we have been able to continually refer back to. Prenatal Yoga really helped to clear my mind and made me more flexible and open for birth. I took the breathing exercises we did and applied them during my labor. The Womb Room made a huge impact for me and I really think it’s because of them that I was able to feel so confident and have such an amazing birth experience. I continue to do Postnatal Yoga as well as Baby and Me Yoga, both have been amazing. I can’t recommend this place enough!

I love all of the services that the womb room has to offer. We just finished the six week holistic childbirth class with Kristie and it was excellent. We learned so much and created a good sense of community with our classmates. It was especially important to have my partner so involved and so educated on birth. She brings in different speakers and there were some really great resources that I will be using now. I feel more empowered about my upcoming labor and delivery.

As a new parent I was very nervous. I cannot say enough great words about Kristie and the experience we had at the womb room. The class was informative and fun. It was great to not only learn how to care for a newborn but also feel a sense of community with other new parents and instructors as we got ready to make this huge step in life. We continue to keep up with post birth classes as it is helpful to feel as there are support options through this great company! If you haven't booked your class yet...get on it!!

We completed the one day holistic childbirth education and a few of the adjunct classes including infant feeding and comfort measures. They have all been enjoyable and so informative. We have been given materials to look through in addition to hands on practicing of the comfort measures. Kristie is a funny and informative instructor who made us feel comfortable asking any questions and really created a great environment for learning! We feel more confident going into our own experience with the tools we learned from the Womb Room. I would highly recommend to any one!

My husband and I took the Holistic Hospital Series through the Womb Room with Kristie. Kristie is absolutely amazing - super friendly and very knowledgeable. She taught the material in an unbiased and factual way so that we could make informed decisions to meet our wants/needs. She also created a comfortable (virtual) atmosphere for open discussion, which helped our class form a sense of community.

Now that we’ve taken the class, we can’t imagine experiencing labor without this knowledge and confidence. We would highly recommend taking this class, especially for first time parents!

I cannot say enough good things about Kristie Graybill's classes at the Womb Room. I'm pregnant with our first and my husband and I wanted classes that would explore all options in relation to childbirth and newborn care and her classes fit the bill. They explored both medical and more natural options so I felt like I had all the information to make a truly informed decision. Kristie, herself, is so down to earth and has so much knowledge to share but also can speak to her own experiences with her own 3 kids. I have done both classes though my hospital and through the Womb Room and the Womb Room has been by far the better option. I cannot recommend these classes enough and definitely plan on joining their parent groups after babe is born.
