The Womb Room

Update: In addition to my wonderful prenatal massage, I also used the Womb Room to find a postpartum doula. Having the support of Savanna during the first few months of postpartum has been life changing for me. I truly don’t know how I would have made it through without her. She is so caring and calm - exactly what I needed during this hectic time. I thank for the Womb Room for connecting me with her! It’s made my postpartum experience much less stressful.

I had a prenatal massage at the Womb Room with Eric and it was wonderful!! He is so knowledgeable in prenatal techniques and massages - I was in very capable hands! It was such a relaxing experience and soothed areas and muscles I didn’t even realize were holding tension (like my knee and elbows)! Can’t wait to use their other services once the baby is born!

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!!

The Womb Room is an absolute sanctuary for parents-to-be and parents alike. I was introduced to the Womb Room through their childbirth class. I walked in unsure of the road ahead and walked out feeling confident and prepared for anything that birth threw my way. I also attended their prenatal yoga classes. They were a great opportunity to connect with other people going through pregnancy, be heard, breathe, and take time for myself. Now that I’m postpartum, I’ve been enjoying their baby and me and pilates offerings “on the other side” of birth. All in all, I’ve found the community at the Womb Room to be incredibly generous and accepting. I’d highly recommend the Womb Room!

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.

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.

I was lucky enough to have Shannon Duir Sciortino as my doula for my VBAC in October. Shannon provided me with confidence and comfort as we planned for my birth and on the day of, she was a calming force that I was glad to have by my side. Shannon brought along comfort measures including lighting for my room that brought such a sense of calm to my space which made a huge difference. Even all of the nurses were commenting it 😀 she vibed so well with me and the hospital staff and ultimately helped me have a successful VBAC. I will always be thankful for Shannon and would recommend her to anyone!

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 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!

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.

From beginning to end, it was a pleasant experience with the womb room. I found them by doing a Google search and I am so glad I did. The initial phone meeting gave me so much insite and positive affirmation into their services ,that I decided to speak with 2 of their doulas to make my final decision on who would go on this very important journey with me. I AM PLEASED beyond belief that Erica Green was my doula. She was patient caring and loving. It truly felt like I had a family member advocating for me. When i had questions or concerns before and during my birthing date. From her advice to the knowledge she gave me on every topic I had questions and concerns about, made it truly a great experience. My labor was 2 days long and she was with me and my boyfriend every step of the way. She even reaches out to this day to check up on me and ask how we are doing . She is truly a new addition to our growing family 💖 I would recommend her over and over again !!!!

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 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 💛

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 was everything we needed and more. From the moment we started, it was clear we were in the hands of people who genuinely cared about making this experience as positive and safe as possible. As a dad, it’s easy to feel a bit on the sidelines, but our doula made sure I felt involved and confident every step of the way. She went way beyond what we ever expected, being there for us in every sense, offering reassurance, and honestly being a calm, steady presence that I didn’t realize I’d need as much as I did.

When the big moment came, she was incredible—her support and guidance made all the difference in making sure our son arrived safe and healthy. I can’t imagine having gone through this experience without her and The Womb Room. If you’re looking for a team who feels like family and truly knows their stuff, this is the place.

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!

We have been using Womb Room to get ready for the birth of our first baby. We found our doula through them and have been utilizing their yoga and educational classes too. The instructors are engaging, friendly and very knowledgeable. The space is warm and welcoming. They cultivate a sense of community with all their families, and have other community events outside of their classes. I also love that they are welcoming and inclusive of ALL families and birthing people. I would definitely recommend them, if you're looking for just a pre-natal yoga class or a holistic birth and postpartum support team!

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!

My wife and I greatly enjoyed the all-day class. The resources
Kristie provided were extremely valuable including written material, clear presentation, and practical exercises.

There was a lot of information on different options and interventions while making it clear that the best choice is the one that you make. This positive attitude gave us a lot of confidence. The practical exercises also helped us identify gaps in our communication and birth plan - gaps which we can now fill.

We also really appreciated the single day format, we felt it was much easier to fit into our schedules.

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 took a fantastic one-day Holistic Childbirth Essentials class here with Kristie Graybill. It helped both myself and my partner feel a lot more confident about birth and gave us a lot of helpful information to educate ourselves about all the possibilities that can happen during childbirth and to help me decide what we want and how to best advocate for myself and the baby during labor. The space is warm, cozy, and bright. Highly recommend!

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.

My wife and I had the privilege of taking Kristie's All Day Childbirth Essentials course and were very happy with the experience! Kristie is a very passionate and knowledgeable teacher and makes everyone feel so welcome. We learned the questions we should be asking of our provider and ways to be more prepared for labor. I feel more confident going into this process as a first time parent and support system for my wife during labor. The class is definitely worth going to a few months before the due date! Thanks for all the resources and information!

It's hard to quantify the impact that the lovely ladies of The Womb Room had on our birth experience.

Kristie's Holistic Birth class and Baby Basics class gave us such peace of mind. Her ability to instill such confidence in us and enabling us to just surrender to the unpredictability of birth and parenthood was amazing.

Prenatal yoga classes with Myriam gave me the strength and confidence to feel empowered both physically and mentally as I approached birth.

And we wouldn't have felt so prepared as a couple and as new parents I'm general without our doula, Meg. She held our hands through the emotional times before, during, and after birth. In a birth that went every direction EXCEPT according to plan, she kept us grounded through it all.

When it comes to surrounding yourself with a superb birth team, I cannot recommend these ladies enough. 💙
