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 <3

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.

I cannot recommend Jonelle as a lactation consultant enough! She provided the hands on support that I needed in the early days of breastfeeding.

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 couldn’t have done it without Shante. We highly recommend her!

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 found my birth doula through the Womb Room and I am so glad I chose Shanté Ferguson! She was absolutely amazing in educating and supporting me and my husband through the birth of our daughter. As much as I wanted Shanté to be present at the delivery, we ended up having to have a scheduled c-section but she still prepped us and equipped us with everything we needed to know through virtual sessions. Because of her guidance, I was able to be quite confident going into that OR as a first time mom. She is so personable and made me and my husband feel so comfortable throughout our experience. She checked in with me after the birth and offered so much invaluable guidance on postpartum care for myself and my baby. I was having some challenges with nursing and Shanté was so informative and so very encouraging to keep me on course. She really looked after us with so much care and we felt loved like family. I would highly recommend Shanté to anyone looking for doula support.

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!
