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!

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!

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.

So grateful for the womb room! I was able to find my postpartum doula (Jenny) through them. They had many available doulas and helped facilitate me securing the right person For my family. I can’t say enough about Jenny! She was the calm in the storm for me. She took care of me and my baby, as her own and provided us so much compassion, kindness, and encouragement! She’s experienced and also a lifelong learner so there was no issue that came up that she wasn’t willing to dig a little deeper for me to find a solution! I would definitely recommend her for your postpartum care you won’t be disappointed!

Additionally, I participated in the baby gear exchange and the people there are just so welcoming and nurturing. I look forward to continuing to participate in activities that they have throughout my motherhood journey.

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!

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.

My husband and I found the Womb Room when we were searching for local doula services and we had a great experience! The staff were great at communicating thoroughly and promptly when we were looking into their services, and it was so easy to connect with Shannon (our doula!). We started the search a little on the later side, so we really appreciated how quick Shannon was to jump into action. We had an initial meeting via Zoom to get to know each other and then had two in-person meetings at our home before birth of our daughter. The in-person meetings were really helpful in understanding our needs/wants for the birth experience and Shannon gave us some great physical/mental exercises to consider! She was also so attentive when we got close to the birth. Her bedside manner was amazing and added to the calm - and her ability to create a relaxing ambience in the delivery room was great! She was hands on with me and so considerate of my husband when things got going. After we made it home, Shannon came for a postpartum visit to assist with breastfeeding and provided more resources for assistance. We would absolutely recommend working with the Womb Room and Shannon in particular!

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!

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 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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
