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 dont 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!
Its 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 didnt even realize were holding tension (like my knee and elbows)! Cant wait to use their other services once the baby is born!

The Womb Room has been an invaluable resource providing us with the empowerment needed in our birth space and beyond. Our doula Shannon Duir Sciotino was exceptional and we truly could not have felt more supported and advocated for throughout the process!

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 Shant was absolutely incredible! I truly do not think I would have been able to deliver my sweet baby boy fully unmedicated if it werent 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 its the #1 thing he has been recommending to our friends/family who are expecting soon. We could not be happier with our experience!

We had an incredible experience with Shante as our doula. She is knowledgeable and helped us feel prepared for delivery, explaining what to expect every step of the way. During labor she was available to answer questions, offer invaluable advice, and provide relaxation techniques that eased my discomfort. She supported my husband and me, making sure we felt confident and cared for before, during and after delivery. Her energy, warmth, and positivity made all the difference. We couldnt have done it without Shante. We highly recommend her!

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 didnt 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 wasnt 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!

I really enjoyed the prenatal yoga classes and community at the womb room. Emily Cuotos 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!

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 !!!!

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.

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 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, its 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 didnt realize Id need as much as I did.
When the big moment came, she was incredibleher support and guidance made all the difference in making sure our son arrived safe and healthy. I cant imagine having gone through this experience without her and The Womb Room. If youre looking for a team who feels like family and truly knows their stuff, this is the place.

My wife and I took several classes (infant care, lactation, postpartum recovery, and others), and she also attended classes on her own (i.e. prenatal yoga) at The Womb Room. All of the Doulas and educators we worked with were phenomenal. They shared their experience and knowledge in a non judgemental way. We are now more informed about risks and our choices. The classes were fun and interactive. We *highly* recommend The Womb Room.

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!!!

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!

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.

The Womb Room has been such an amazing blessing to our family. My partner and I attended the Holistic Childbirth Series that was taught by Kristie Graybill. The course was fun, engaging, and comprehensive. It helped to facilitate so many positive and supportive conversations between my partner and I. Now we feel prepared and ready to rock our natural birth and will be forever grateful to the talented and knowledgeable instructors at The Womb Room.
I highly recommend this course to any birthing person. You will be welcomed into the most supportive and loving community where your questions will be answered and you will become mentally prepared to embark upon the birthing journey with confidence and joy.

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.

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.

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.

I just completed Womb Room's 6-week Childbirth Series and was so, so happy that this was the class we decided to take! There are so many options out there when it comes to childbirth education, but I'm confident that Womb Room provides a completely unique experience. The course focuses on building a community of others around you, everything you need to know about childbirth as well as encouraging birthing persons and partners to advocate for their preferences throughout the process.
It was empowering to learn about all of the different options out there when it comes to the birthing process.
Kristie was our instructor and she was absolutely wonderful! She made the class time fly by and was a wealth of knowledge! I've also heard that the other instructors are great too, so you really can't go wrong with choosing to go with the Womb Room. This was one of the best decisions we made in our pregnancy/birthing experience!

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 weve taken the class, we cant 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.
