I went on their website and they were offering the first class for free so I signed up. I am so glad that I did. I was 6 weeks postpartum when I attended my first class. I loved it so much that I signed up for the membership. Since then, I have been attending Stroller strides for a minimum of 3 times a week. My baby girl is now almost 5 months. I love that I can get a great workout and have my baby with me at all times and not worry about childcare. This was a huge help! Also, I love being surrounded by wonderful mamas. I feel very supported knowing that I am not alone in this fitness journey. You built this relationship with the community and you get to know and relate with other moms who have similar struggles. Megan and Lorena are amazing instructors and were very welcoming. They really motivate you. I always leave feeling stronger and full of energy. The owner, Carly, is very accommodating and passionate in helping mamas get fit and healthy. They also do playdates on some days after class with some DIY crafts coordinated by Rhiannon. Rhiannon is also amazing. I am so glad I found FIT4MOM.

The instructors are supportive, playing bubbles for the babies, and always provide a challenging and fun workout. I've met some great mamas in these classes.

When I was pregnant I took for granted that I would just intuitively know how to care for a baby,…read moredespite having never spent much time around them before, let alone had one of my own. Then I actually had my baby, and I was shocked by how challenging some of the "basic responsibilities" were! Some end up much more complicated than you thought they would be. (Breastfeeding and naps.) Others you don't even think about because they seem so simple, and when the time comes they're confusing and terrifying! (Giving your newborn a bath, safe sleeping.) Thank goodness for Kathleen!! She had all the answers, and then some. She showed me how to breastfeed the right way (believe me, I would've never thought there was a "wrong" way to do it, but hers really was the easiest and most effective), how to swaddle, how to soothe, helped get my baby on a nap schedule, and even showed us how to do her signature "newborn spa bath." (Which my baby was obsessed with.) She helped guide me through the endless abyss of baby products and showed me what I needed, what I didn't, and what was a nice thing to have if I could afford it. I never realized that not only did a service like this exist, but that it was actually very reasonable for the one on one attention you're getting. You don't have to hire her as a full time night nurse to reap the benefits of her decades of knowledge. Even just a few sessions with her taught me SO much, and she was always available via phone if I had a question. I seriously can't tell you how many times in those early days I called her in a panic after going down a Google spiral, and she was able to immediately put my mind at ease. Kathleen is a baby genius and a friend for life, and I can't recommend her enough!

PLEASE AVOID KATHLEEN. READ THE OTHER RECENT NEGATIVE REVIEWS. She somehow got our last review…read moreremoved. I assume she has been doing this with a lot of reviewers. Long story, short: Kathleen should not be taking care of babies at night. I'm rewriting this review because she is putting babies in danger and this could cause harm to baby. She showed up to our house after eye surgery and could barely see and walk around our house at night time. I have camera proof that she fell asleep with our baby in her arms as well. After that, she refused to give back our deposit and took all our money. She claimed it didn't apply because the deposit was applied to the substitute. What a scam of a lady. Putting babies in danger and taking new parents money. Please do not use Kathleen for night nanny/doula services.

Ana is an angel who helped me when I was completely desperate and freaking out that my daughter…read morewould never properly nurse. She was very responsive and came to our home on a Sunday night, following all COVID protocols and being super careful. She talked to me about what was going wrong (bad latch, etc.), observed the baby, helped me reposition things and offered me a ton of tips. Ana also checked in on me multiple times to make sure it was all going okay (fortunately, things got much better). She's sent me helpful links and videos, and evaluated some photos when I was having some new pain. I really appreciated her gentle spirit, kindness and patience, and highly recommend her to any mama who can use some of that.

In one evening, she helped me troubleshoot my breastfeeding and I got to enjoy feeding for 15 months. Fast forward to last week, my newborn was 3 days old and the pain of feeding was unbearable. I felt my PPD starting to set in because my body was already in pain from delivery. I remembered I had Ana's info and she came to see me the next day (very safely and cautiously) and again, fixed my problems in one session. Now I'm happy to feed my baby as much as possible and aren't supplementing with formula to give my nipples a break anymore. Ana is so professional, knowledgeable, and has a very calm bedside manner which helps when you're overwhelmed with doing something that is supposed to be natural but is actually not. I'll be recommending her while singing her praises on my roof. THANK YOU ANA!!

I will forever be grateful to The Family Room. I joined in my second month postpartum after a…read morefriend - who had previously attended - suggested it. The new parent classes have been everything I need. Having a consistent, knowledgeable, caring instructor provides a sense of calm and knowledge to help navigate a truly wild transition. If you can take a class with Liz - DO IT. The most important thing, though, is the community. You're paired with moms and babies all at the same stage, so you've got similar struggles, advice, and real time support. Plus lifelong friends. I came to the family room after finishing a postpartum therapy group and struggling to know where my community was. I'm so happy to find it here. If you're a new parent looking for a place to land and want others who will celebrate and cry with you and become your village, consider The Family Room.

Came for mom community, left for a burrito…read more I joined The Family Room when my daughter was about three months old because I was a happy, exhausted, completely-in-love new mom who genuinely wanted to meet other mothers and socialize my baby. And apparently that was my first mistake. And yes I did attend and am not a fake review or a bot. I had waited so long to become a mom that even the sleep deprivation, middle-of-the-night feeds, and newborn chaos felt like a privilege to me. I was tired, absolutely, but I was also genuinely in bliss. Meanwhile, so much of the conversation seemed to revolve around how miserable everyone was from the lack of sleep and night feeds. I quickly learned that being the mom who was actually happy to be there did not exactly earn you membership into the Cool Moms Club™. I was actually the one who created our group text. I collected everyone's numbers and started it because I genuinely wanted us to stay connected outside of class and have a little community of new moms supporting one another. Ironically, I somehow became the person slowly excluded from the very group I created. As I got busier handling my businesses and couldn't attend every single class, the dynamic gradually changed. Then one of the last moms to join eventually asked me to essentially hand over control of the group chat I had created so they could continue it without me. The audacity was almost impressive. At that point I decided everyone could create their own group chat, wished them well in spirit, blocked the whole situation, and carried on with my life. Nothing quite says "supporting women during one of the most vulnerable transitions of their lives" like staging a tiny corporate takeover of another mother's group text. The part that really bothered me, though, was the lack of support from someone who was actually supposed to be providing it. I came to a lactation specialist with a breastfeeding concern and felt completely dismissed, while the mother sitting right next to me brought up essentially the same issue and received attention and support. I remember sitting there feeling completely invisible. I walked out crying and that was my last class. Shame on you for playing favorites. I was also one of only a couple of mothers breastfeeding, and whether that played into the dynamic, I can't say. But there was definitely an odd competitive energy around everything. My husband came with me to one of the new parent groups, and because space was limited, there were complaints. Then suddenly other husbands started showing up too, and somehow even bringing your spouse to a parenting group began to feel like an Olympic event. The whole experience started feeling less like "new moms supporting new moms" and more like a high school cafeteria with middle school girls rather than women lifting other women up. There was gossip. There was making fun of people. There were obvious cliques. There was a strange obsession with being one of the cool moms. And here I was thinking these babies are blessings why is everyone so miserable to have a baby? Maybe I simply landed in an unfortunate group, and I sincerely hope other mothers have had warmer experiences. But those first months of motherhood are incredibly tender. Women walk into spaces like this hoping to find community, reassurance, and maybe someone who understands what 3 a.m. feels like. No new mother deserves to walk out feeling invisible or deliberately excluded. Eventually, I stopped going. I got myself a burrito instead with my sidekick daughter in tow. The burrito was warm, comforting, dependable, and never once attempted a hostile takeover of my group chat. 10/10 for the burrito. Would absolutely choose it again.

Super easy to make appointments with and very punctual which you will definitely appreciate when your baby is young and nurses frequently. I even texted her months after our sessions ended for help with my mastitis and she was super helpful, she is a great resource!

Additionally I was challenged with more misinformation about breastfeeding my baby. Thanks to the help of yelpers, I found Christina! She made an appointment with me as soon as possible and brought her scale. My baby was very fussy and Christina helped me to understand that sometimes it's not soothing techniques and maybe it's an underlying issue that's going on that was causing the fussiness. Furthermore she helped me understand how lactation works and has helped me gained more control over my milk supply. I got a lot of my sanity back once I was able to have a more balanced lifestyle while being able to feed my baby. Christina is so sweet. She really cares about moms and is there to talk to in case we just need someone to talk to. She is always open and willing to have a direct conversation without the fluff. I really appreciate finding her and being able to work with her.

Although we can't wait to meet in person again, I am thrilled he was able to continue the program and continue learning especially when preschools were closed. If you're looking for an awarding experience to have with your child (birth - 5yo), then I highly recommend this program! And the best part is, it's free!!

If you are looking for or even considering lactation support, this is the place to be. In addition to breastfeeding support, I've also been through the childbirth education class. It was well done and not prescriptive... it was truly informative, the way I would expect a childbirth education class to be, and supportive of the diverse birth plans people may have.

Would I recommend Brandi Jordan as a sleep consultant? Not unless you're a celebrity or have…read morethousands of dollars to waste. For the average parent, you'll likely spend thousands of dollars only to end up back where you started--with vague, generic advice you could easily find online and some added reassurance. Brandi's approach offers little to no long-term guidance. She works on a day-by-day basis without providing written materials or a structured plan to follow, which makes it nearly impossible to build consistency once the sessions end. It feels like being handed a toolkit for a toy bike when you're trying to fix a kitchen sink, completely mismatched and ultimately unhelpful. Throughout our experience, she asked for detailed information about our child's sleep schedule, feeding patterns, and behaviors, which was time-consuming to document. Yet, those details seemed disregarded, as the feedback almost always boiled down to a generic "you'll have to let the baby cry," delivered in a reassuring but repetitive way. Months later, we're still struggling to get our child to sleep independently. We received no follow-up documents, no lasting framework, and no practical tools to help us move forward. After spending over $1,000, we were left feeling misled, frustrated, and uncertain about what to do next. If you're considering hiring Brandi, I urge you to think carefully. Save your time, energy, and resources. Look for a consultant who offers structured support, written guidance, and consistent follow-through; not someone whose attention is divided elsewhere. Parents deserve more than being treated like another number in the queue. Updated response to Brandi... I actually worked with you in April 2025, and communication stopped soon after the contract period ended. We followed your instructions exactly as outlined. Not every child responds the same way, and sometimes a more individualized approach is necessary, but it became clear you didn't have the time or availability to provide that level of support.

More importantly, their website said the stroller I wanted was in stock and available in 4 hours for pickup, but when I got there it wasn't available for purchase and it had to be ordered. When I brought it up to the cashier, he said it was because they have it in store their inventory but not at the store? Huh?? After doing more digging I saw there was a "Terms and conditions" asterisk in fine print you have to click on to find out this information. All I saw was the green check mark that says "In stock and ready for pick up in 4 hours." Any other place I have ever been to- this would mean it would be in stock at the store. When I brought up, calmly, that this was confusing and they should fix it because I drove two hours to get to the store. The cashier said nothing. Not a "Aw geez, I'm sorry. I can understand your frustration and why that's confusing." I'm a reasonable person. I've worked in customer service all my life. The demeanor of the cashier alone has put me off from ever visiting this store again or recommending it. We went to Uppababy a few blocks down and they were SOOO kind that it completely made my day. All I needed was some kindness. To the owners of the Pump Station- the people using your website are most likely VERY tired moms. I personally am getting 3-4 hours of sleep a day. Tired moms need clear signage if something is in stock or not. Time is precious in this season of life. We also need KINDNESS. My body is broken and recovering from giving birth. I am exhausted! I would expect a place who sells baby items to understand this. Overall, would never recommend this place and will tell everyone I know that it was an awful experience.
