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.

Victoria was so empathetic, capable, and reliable. In the middle of the night, her non-judgmental demeanor and calm presence was exactly what we needed as first time parents. Highly recommend Victoria!!

My husband and I took the holistic birth class with Odile and it was very helpful for us in preparing for our first child. We are really looking forward to the other classes we have scheduled!

We found our doula Shannon Duir through the womb room and are so grateful we did. Shannon is an old soul. We cant thank her enough for the support she provided during our pregnancy and birth. We interviewed several doulas each with a strong background, but our gut told us Shannon was the right fit. We made the right choice. She came prepared, asked the right questions, and made sure we were comfortable with the process. She set a positive vibe in the labor room from the start and was with us during the most challenging part of the labor, helping us deliver a healthy baby. Her soft voice, warm smile, and confidence was a guiding light during the final hours of labor. For anyone questioning hiring a doula Shannon reinforced our belief it is an investment well worth making.

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

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!

I've taken two clases with Odile Penet at the Womb Room (Holistic Childbirth Essentials and Zenful Birth). Both were excellent experiences. She is extremely knowledgeable and manages to make classes rewarding, interesting, and fun.

The Holistic Childbirth Essentials class was AMAZING! We received so much evidence-based information about labor and birth, and generally had such a good experience. I highly recommend to anyone considering childbirth classes!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with The Womb Room and especially our postpartum doula, Christin.

We had previously hired a postpartum doula for overnight support with a different company and she was unexpectedly out for two weeks. We knew we needed the night support (two nights a week), and found The Womb Room through Google.

From the beginning, Sunni was warm and open about their process. She connected us with Christin, who was able to support us just four days after we initially found The Womb Room.

Christin was a calming presence in our home and our two month old, Lucy, immediately took to her. From the beginning of our two weeks working with Christin, Lucy was sleeping longer stretches and was calmer. Christin was kind, knowledgeable, and professional. I appreciated how quickly she was able to integrate into our routine and I felt extremely confident with her caring for our daughter overnight so I could get some sleep. She was able to honor our breastfeeding journey and bring Lucy to me when she needed to be fed, as well.

I honestly wish we had found The Womb Room sooner and hired them for the entirety of our postpartum support. I would highly recommend them to any family looking for support as they move into postpartum.

It is with deep appreciation and gratitude that I write this review.

My husband and I are first time parents and we decided to contact the womb room and eventually hired Shannon as our doula. Even though we got in touch with Shannon a few weeks prior to our due date; from the first time we met her through zoom she brought such warmth, knowledge and reassurance to out last few weeks of pregnancy.

I went into labor a week prior to my due date and as a result, both my husband and I felt a bit rushed and unprepared, but Shannon's gentle guidance made us feel supported, heard and truly cared for. During labor Shannon was incredible. She created such a peaceful ambiance inside our delivery room and provided comfort techniques, encouragements and attended to all my needs. I felt empowered and safe knowing she was by my side. Even after birth, her check-ins and at home visit helped us navigate some of the challenges we faced as first time parents.

I am still in awe and touched by the care I received from Shannon. She has a true passion for this work and both my husband and I are extremely grateful she was part of our birth journey.

If you are unsure about hiring a doula please consider this as a sign to get one. If you're looking for someone compassionate and wholeheartedly dedicated, Shannon is the one.

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!

Let me start by saying 5 stars are not enough for our doula, Sunni! My wife and I were looking for someone who would advocate, educate, listen, sympathize, understand, have patience and support us in home after birth. Sunni is all that and more!! Before, during and after my labor they did things we didn’t even know we needed. Even though Sunni’s service is very much about my anxiety and confidence giving birth, they also made sure my partner had confidence in supporting me during this time and helped her with her anxiety. Sunni also made sure my partner ate during this time (23 hours in labor) and checked in with my mom…they orchestrated the room and had it down to a science. They were in touch with everyone’s needs and was able to successful help us all remain calm. Before working with Sunni I was very nervous about being giving birth especially as a queer woman of color but with Sunni supporting us I went into that delivery room feeling so prepared and confident even when I had to pivot in our plans. My wife and I are so grateful for everything Sunni has done for us and continues to do for us and our son. The postpartum services are also top tier with their notes, tips, and highlights. It made me feel like I didn’t miss anything while I was sleeping. I cannot imagine giving birth again without their support.

Every person we’ve met at the womb room for classes, groups, yoga and massage (Erik) have all been wonderful! The community, safe space, and support this place provides is amazing and very needed. We felt welcomed and educated the whole time.

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.

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.

I signed up for the Holistic Package at the Womb Room towards the end of my second trimester of my first pregnancy. I have felt immense support and thankfulness for this place and all I have encountered throughout my time here thus far. I've been taking weekly prenatal yoga classes and workshops- all of the instructors have been great. My husband and I took the 6 week childbirth education course and I just recently participated in the zenful birth workshop- both with Odile who has been so fun, informative, and kind. My doula Erica Green is amazing and so helpful! I can't say enough about this place and the supportive community I have had throughout my pregnancy- currently 38 weeks. I am looking forward to postnatal yoga and pilates as well as baby and me yoga, and the post-partum support groups when it's my time.

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!

My partner and I would recommend The Womb Room and Kristie Graybill to anyone expecting (especially first time)! Kristie and the Womb Room team fostered a welcoming, comfortable and supportive learning environment during the Holistic Birthing Essentials class, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We left feeling more informed, connected and empowered. The experience from registration to completion was flawless and community-focused. We especially appreciate the inclusive approach to create a safe and welcoming space for everyone. Thank you and we look forward to additional classes.

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!!!

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.

This place is a gem. I tried out prenatal yoga at the Womb Room in the beginning of my third trimester and quickly became a regular. Classes are perfectly paced, and it's such a calming, welcoming space. My partner and I also signed up for the single-day Holistic Childbirth Essentials class. We had considered taking a class like this online but appreciated hearing from other parents-to-be and the chance to try out "comfort measures" in-person. Kristie was knowledgeable, engaging, and made a nearly seven-hour class way less painful than it sounds.

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.

I am in LOVE with this place! I signed up for the holistic package and am so pleased with my experience. My Saturday mornings are not the same unless I go to my prenatal yoga class. I feel so uplifted, empowered, supported, relieved, relaxed, and Rejuvenated when I attend this sanctuary. The Womb Room is such a beautiful place to allow women to come together and support each other in the miracle of birth. My Doula Antwanette has been a gem. I am so looking forward to having her at my birth. She has been my go to when I have been struggling or needing guidance and I’m so grateful to her and The Womb Room. Yesterday I took my childbirth class that came with the holistic package and I feel like all of my worries have been calmed. I feel empowered to have the delivery that I choose. I feel educated to make the decisions necessary for a beautiful birth. I’m obsessed with this place and want every pregnant woman to go through The Womb Room and experience all the love and support that the sanctuary of a place provides.

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!

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.
