I called and spoke to Carolyn (the owner) who was super personable and reassuring. In fact Momease was recommended by my OB at GWU/MFA -- Carolyn knew my doctor too. The online booking was seamless and communication (via email/text) was on point. My husband enjoyed the class and the instructor was excellent. The facility was clean and conveniently located. We were very pleased with our experience and would HIGHLY recommend Momease!

Carolyn has the best teaching styles. The class is fun, interactive and informative. I learned so much from the class than just google information online or books. Carolyn makes sure your partner and you retain the knowledge and she genuinely is trying to help. She is very thoughtful and professional, I totally recommend them to any expecting mom! We are definitely feeling more comfortable to childbirth than before

Faith and the NOVA team are truly first rate…read more Expertise is on pace with any doc we spoke to. The guidance and peace of mind was priceless. We cannot recommend them enough. Easily the best money we've spent in regards to the birth process. Joslyn has been a huge help with the baby at night and treats him like her own. She has offered expertise and little hacks here and there that have made a huge difference for us in getting acclimated as new parents (hello pace feeding). we only wish there were more of her! We feel so blessed to have found NOVA and confidently recommend them to anyone, even though we would selfishly like it if we could keep them for ourselves. God Bless!

EDIT: This company would rather argue their justification…read morethan just make corrections. My review remains with one agreed correction: 8 night nannies were not hired, we started the process of hiring 8 that fell through at different points like dropping contact/no shows. As an SBO myself I would never provide a negative review unless absolutely warranted. I did see another review where a customer allegedly felt Faith made some between-the-lines implications for leaving a review and I see where they would think that as Faith reached out to me about this review in a very threatening manner, stating they are noting this record and it may violate Yelps content/ privacy standards and apparently has asked for its removal. Yikes! *END EDIT Absolutely avoid this business at all costs. They have you pay your entire contract upfront - which is almost unheard of. The rate is nonrefundable, even if they do not provide you services. I'm out over $2k because we cancelled our contract early after 8 no-show night nannies. 8 times their employee either didn't show up or cancelled hours before. The last night nanny that called out day of service even contacted us saying that if we get a refund, she doesn't get paid. The company lied and exaggerated issues for no shows to make it more justifiably (as seen in the text attached). The nanny called us night of the accident saying she was fine AND she was on a flight for a trip the next day. Faith called it a "near deadly accident". Disgusting business dealings. Not only are they lying, but also putting them in such a desperate situation where the nanny is forced to reach out to the customer and guilt us to not taking a refund (second pic). We've since found another company to work with and they have been amazing, reliable, and professional.

My three girl friends and I decided to take time out for ourselves and attend an art class, with…read moreMetamorphosis Art and Enrichment Center when their offering included adult classes. What a fabulous experience! Armed with easels, paint, and given individualized attention, our crew was treated Royally. If I had young children, I would be heading with them, to Selena's studio experience today! She brought self esteem high, boosted confidence, and was so instrumental in showing burgeoning talent off that one of our party is now hooked on a hobby she would never have tried out had it not been for that first art lesson! I highly recommend this program

We had my daughter's fifth birthday at Metamorphosis Art Center, and I highly recommend it! Selena,…read morethe owner, was easy to work with and helped me plan this event with 10 kids. Selena & another instructor Jean gave a great art lesson and guided the children to create their own tape art creations. The kids produced such amazing pieces on large canvases, perfect for Father's Day. The Center was clean, and the kids had their own easels, paints & materials. They even let me bring a princess, Rapunzel. They helped with everything, and even let us stay a little later. The parents who attended my party really liked that this was an educational party, unlike the regular chuck E cheese parties we normally attend. It was actually comparable in price as well. I would definitely consider taking my daughter to art classes here as well.

Yoga is so fun to connect with my baby and also other moms. Plus Amanda is a great instructor! Some of their other classes are on the pricey side is the only thing but it's such a great resource for moms! Also their location can be a bit tricky to find but the main door is off Keswick Rd (and is stroller friendly). Walk in past the dress shop and bare to the right. There's a big parking lot in the back.

This review is is for the doula services and support groups (becoming a mom and breastfeeding)…read more I like that the becoming a mom group has a rotation of doulas who lead the group each week. That way you end up inadvertently meeting the different doulas. We went with Cara. She has a ton of experience and super chill vibe. Our hospital was not allowing extra visitors due to COVID so we signed up for a virtual doula service. She met with us a few times before the birth to review questions, birth plan, and provide support. She was also available via email for random questions that came up in between. The day of my labor I reached out to her as needed and she guided me through some of the decisions we had to make. Her support made it so that I could better advocate for myself and my baby during my labor. She was 100% supportive of all my decisions and in the end I ended up having a beautiful and quick birth. I am so happy we got a doula and recommend it to anyone no matter what type of brith you are planning on having. I found the groups to be more helpful towards the beginning of my pregnancy, especially as it was a time that COVID was just ramping up. The only issue is that the people in group vary from week to week. I think it would be nice to be able to connect with the same group from week to week so there is some continuity.

DDC Family: When…read morewe joined the studio 6 years ago, I had no idea that competition dance was in my daughter's future. DDC has been a positive experience for Madison and myself. Madison has learned life skills such as teamwork, time management, and cooperation. But the biggest lesson is that great accomplishments come with practice, more practice, and persistence!! Madison had a huge smile every time she walked proudly into the studio to dance. She found a friendly welcoming place to dance and fond memories during the weekend competitions. Madison has grown to love the art of dance but I have, as her mother, developed a deeper sense of respect for dancers and the sacrifices that families make to support their children. DDC dancers and parents have amazed me every day! I applaud the instructors for their dedication, commitment, and patience that they have shown towards the children and especially towards Madison throughout the years! I know that any dancer who joins DDC's Showgroup will grow to be confident, graceful, poised, and skilled. Wishing you all the best for the future and thank you for enriching Madison's love for DANCE! Madison has been truly blessed.
