The Body, Birth and Baby Center has completely changed my pregnancy journey! I feel so lucky to have found this for my first. Everyone is so positive and encouraging. The Hypnobirthing class was so empowering and has taken a lot of the fear out of labor and delivery. Highly recommend no matter what type of birth youre interested in, the class was detailed and supportive. Caroline is truly gifted and her prenatal massages are the best!
We took the breastfeeding / newborn care class with Lilly, and then worked with her for breastfeeding consultations before and after delivery. There are not enough stars on this review to accurately rate our experience! Working with her was hands down the best decision I made as a new mom. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, answering every question I’ve had — whether it was about breastfeeding or other baby related topics. Her kind and patient demeanor made me feel so comfortable and supported. I’ll be recommending her to all my friends! Thank you Lilly!! ❤️
Caroline and the body birth and baby center has been such a huge resource for me during both my pregnancies.I met Caroline while pregnant with my daughter in 2020 for prenatal massage. I also took her hypnobirthing class! I can not recommend hypnobirthing enough if you are looking to feel the most prepared for birth!The center has been such a resource throughout my entire second pregnancy from massage with Caroline, homebirth midwife care, lactation, yoga, pelvic floor PT as well as all the workshops held in that space!Such a beautiful place to help you feel your most prepared for every part of the motherhood journey!
The Body, Birth, and Baby Center is amazing! My husband and I took the Hypnobirthing class with Caroline to prepare for the delivery of our first baby, and while it was a long and enduring process, everything we learned and practiced in our Hypnobirthing class made it a much more positive experience than it could have been otherwise. I also go to PT with Dr. Lindsay and now work with Lilly Seng as a lactation consultant. This place is really all in one for all things body, birth, and baby and cannot recommend coming here enough for any of your needs!
I highly highly recommend The Body, Birth and Baby Center. I just completed the Hypnobirthing class with my husband that Caroline hosted and let me tell you, it was invaluable and a positive experience from beginning to end.I had my heart set on taking this class and when I first researched it, there were no classes yet that were available for how far along I was. Then next thing I know, crap, I need to get into class and a followed OMG the class is all full. I was able to reach out to Caroline and she made an exception to allow us in, in addition to also responding quickly, which really took off a lot of anxiety and stress.The classes itself, were PHENOMENAL. As healthcare provider myself, the way that Caroline provide evidence based research, offer some opinions of what she would do and then discuss real life experiences by continuing to speak to local providers and clients really helps provide a comprehensive learning experience to feel better educated and prepared during this process. Then as someone new to pregnancy and not as a provider, Caroline is wonderful at helping ease potential fears and empowering women to make the best decisions for themselves.I am now signed up for additional services through Body, Birth and Baby and also look forward to events that they host once our baby is earth side!
Caroline’s class has made me feel much more prepared for labor - physically, mentally, and emotionally. She provided us with such a clear picture of the many decisions associated with giving birth and concrete ways to help ensure that my baby and I will be calm, safe, and healthy during and after such a pivotal experience. I especially appreciated her willingness to speak outside of class to address my personal questions. Highly recommend!
I am absolutely happy that I found this place. If not for Caroline I would have just blindly followed what doctors say. I have learned so much and feel prepared to face this challenge with more confidence. And of course anything might happen, but Caroline equipped us with lots of beneficial info. I suggest anyone who is looking for hypnobirthing go only to Caroline. We drove 40 minutes but it is worst every minute. Thank you Caroline. Next baby comes along we will be back.
Body, Birth and Baby has been a huge asset during my pregnancy. As a soon to be, first time mom, I was experiencing a lot of anxieties about birth and beyond. The hypnobirthing class allowed me to release my fears and build my confidence about the physiological process of birth. Body, Birth and Baby feels like a community that cares beyond one class, with a wide variety of classes and resources Caroline and her colleagues are always there to offer help and guidance. From massage, infant cpr, breastfeeding, and yoga classes there is always an expert with hands on advice to answer any questions that may arise during this transformative period. I could not recommend Body, Birth and Baby enough!
Caroline is such an incredible instructor! My husband and I just got done taking the hypnobirthing courses and we both feel so empowered to advocate for ourselves during the birthing process. She gives such a tremendous amount of information and helps you move past the fears that come with pregnancy/birth. And she gives you the tools you need to prepare for labor. I am so grateful for her class and feel so much more prepared for the birth of our first child, whatever may come. Thank you Caroline!!
What Caroline has created with The Body, Birth, and Baby Center is truly incredible. I absolutely view this place as a one stop shop for all your birthing needs! I think I saw someone mention it on a facebook page I follow and early on made an appointment with Caroline for a first time Mom pregnancy consult. This proved to be such value added and really set into motion what became an incredible experience (even with the unpredictable elements of birth). Caroline helped me process out loud what I really wanted in my birth and make a few key decisions — like switching OBGYN offices and signing up for her Hypnobirthing class. I will admit that I had a hard time believing labor could be calming like you learn with Hypnobirthing, but I knew I was a bit anxious about it all and that learning breathing techniques could only help. My husband was willing to do whatever I needed to get through the birth process, but wasn’t quite sure himself. Now we are both huge fans of Hypnobirthing and all that we learned from the Caroline and her classes! After the last class my husband said how thankful he was for the resource and how he felt so much more confident with what was ahead. During labor, the surge breathing is what really kept me at peace and pain in the distance as I would ride out a surge. So much of what Caroline taught in class empowered me to know exactly what was happening so I could remain calm, focused, and transition through my labor. My baby was in a weird position that had me navigating tough back labor and stuck at 9 cm for hours, but again, breath work and my support system (husband/doula) kept me in the labor game! Beyond that, I took yoga almost weekly at the center and made a few friends — one of which had her baby a week before me and it’s been so nice to chat as we navigate this new season of life. Mom’s need support and resources and that is exactly what Caroline has created with the center. Don’t wait to utilize the resources offered - it’ll make your whole pregnancy, labor, and postpartum that much better!
Caroline is such a gift to the birth world! Her hypnobirthing course was so informative, fun, and peaceful. It gave me the tools I needed to have a beautiful labor and delivery, despite agreeing to an induction for health complications discovered at my last midwife appointment. While I was pretty devastated to be induced and not go into labor naturally, I still look back on the birth as the most beautiful experience of my life. I was able to ask all the right questions, confidently tell my providers I wanted more time when making decisions about the next steps of my care, and feel totally empowered even though there were circumstances outside of my control. And in the end I was able to push my baby out in just over 30 mins of peaceful, joyful (yes joyful!) pushing, in large part due to Caroline’s instruction! I definitely recommend her class and all the other things she has to offer at the Body Birth and Baby Center. ❤️
The Body, Birth, and Baby Center has been the best thing our family has ever found! We came here originally for our HypnoBirthing class, which was phenomenal. Every class made me feel even more confident in my body and our birth preferences. My husband and I really enjoyed all of Caroline’s knowledge and birth expertise and felt so prepared going into our first birth. Additionally, I have come to this center for mom meet ups, prenatal appointments, workshops, yoga classes, massage, lactation support, and skincare. It has been the best one-stop shop for everything during pregnancy and even more so postpartum. I have met so many amazing people through Caroline and the Body, Birth, and Baby Center and now my closest friends I met at the BBBC! If you are pregnant or at any point in your postpartum journey, I highly recommend the Body, Birth, and Baby Center!!
We attended Carolines Hypnobirthing classes while preparing for our second baby. We only wish we had found Caroline sooner for our first! Her class was fantastic and gave me the tools to have the best birth experience I could have hoped for. I also saw Caroline for a prenatal massage, it was such a relief and exactly what I needed to prepare for labor.Everything that the body, birth, and baby center has to offer is an amazing addition to our community for expecting parents and families.
I’m so glad this place exists. We initially came for a consult with Caroline and have been countless times since then. We partook in the hypnobirthing course as well as numerous workshops. From the knowledge we gained here, I really believe it helped us to achieve the peaceful, natural birth of our son that was so important to us. The yoga classes and massages are wonderful as well. We’re there at least weekly with music babies classes and more so I’m glad it’s so close by! All in all, this is a wonderful resource to have whether you are pre or postpartum.
I wish I knew The Body, Birth and Baby Center much earlier. I attended the Hypnobirthing course during Aug/Sep 2023, I waited until I gave birth to my baby to see how far I could go with my plan of unmediated birth. Caroline was amazing in convincing unmediated birth is possible and giving me that confidence that I can do it. She addressed our fears and we even a fear release session as a part of the course, it did play a very important role in boosting our confidence. The course is designed to give you plenty of tools/resources to use during labor so that you can effectively make it till the end. Another best quality about Caroline is her depth knowledge on labor and birth. She answered all our questions and demonstrated breathing techniques and birthing positions. Course is a mix learning + activities. Practicing what was learnt during the course is very important. I felt my husband participated with me during my labor as much as I did. The center also offers many other prenatal services unfortunately I couldn’t use any other services as my schedule was very busy. I’m hoping to use them next time. I highly recommend this place at any point in time during your pregnancy or even if you are still planning to start a family. They offer services at all stages to have a healthy and safe pregnancy and birthing experience.
I cannot recommend Caroline and The Body Birth and Baby Center enough!! When my husband and I found out I was pregnant, I remember being so terrified of labor that I didn’t even want to think about it or talk about it. Everyone always told me about how terrible it could be, so I tried to push it out of my brain. My friend told me I needed to meet Caroline and the women at the Body, Birth and Baby center and it was the best decision I could have made! It gave me the tools and confidence I didn’t even know that I needed for my little guy’s arrival. I became so much more educated through Caroline’s hypnobirthing class that I cannot imagine not having not taken it and gone into labor without any preparation. My husband could not have been more helpful throughout my labor and I swear it’s because he knew exactly what to do through Caroline’s class! Caroline is so calming, kind, and a wealth of knowledge. Your little one’s birth is such a beautiful/ amazing experience and Caroline and the ladies at the center reminded me of that. I’m so grateful for them and their positivity. I truly would not have had the birth experience that I wanted if it was not for this center… They’re amazing. ❤️
I HIGHLY recommend taking a HypnoBirthing class with Caroline. My husband and I thought we were somewhat informed going into her class, but honestly we weren’t at all. We learned soooo much through her class. In fact, we made the decision to switch from a hospital setting to a birthing center for our birth based on information we learned in this class, and I never even would’ve considered this as an option prior! The HypnoBirthing practices are so relaxing and soothing. I think I will continue listening to the tapes even after labor because they have been so good for my mental state. These practices allow me to feel calm, confident, and informed going into my birth. This is not at all how I felt prior to this class. Caroline is amazing and I highly recommend her to anyone who is pregnant and wishes to achieve a beautiful birth.
My husband and I took Caroline’s hypnobirthing class and not only is she the absolute best, but the class was so informative and we learned so much. It’s a comprehensive birthing class on top of a hypnobirthing class, so I was able to have an amazing natural birth because of how prepared and educated I was going into it. This class gave my husband and I the tools we needed to ensure I had the best labor and delivery possible. We are so thankful for having taken this class and I tell everyone I know about it.Caroline makes you feel so comfortable and everyone I know agrees we all wish we could be best friends with her.On top of having an amazing birth I’ve made a couple really good friends through her other offerings like the mom meet ups and the babies first year group. So nice to have a comfortable low pressure way to meet other moms!OH ALSO I got a prenatal birth prep massage with her and I’ve never felt so good also I went into labor like two days later!I cannot recommend the Caroline or the Body, Birth and Baby center more.
I have seen Caroline for labor prep massages for both of my pregnancies! Both my babies have past dates, and getting these massages with Caroline have been the most beneficial in relaxing my body and preparing my body for birth! Caroline takes time to ask how you are feeling, and is very knowledgeable about birth. If you are pregnant, do yourself a favor and go see her for prenatal massages!
We love the Body, Birth, and Baby Center! We took a five session Hypnobirthing class with Caroline and also took one session Infant CPR and lactation classes with Lilly. All of the classes were informative, helpful, and empowering and the instructors were knowledgeable and friendly. We highly recommend all the classes! I’ll be going back soon for some prenatal massages, so while I can’t personally review those yet, I’ve heard great things!
Working with Caroline for both Hypnobirthing and massage was the best decision I could have made in preparation for baby #2. Her massage techniques are fantastic not only for relaxation but therapeutic relief as well! My husband and I attended her in-person Hypnobirthing class and learned so much - not just relaxation techniques for labor, but evidence based information about childbirth and pregnancy. My labor was intense, but I was able to pull from what Caroline taught us and delivered my baby drug free! That was my goal and I’m still shocked I was able to achieve it. Thank you BBB!
After taking the Hypnobirthing course with Caroline, I feel significantly more prepared and confident in my body and mind when it comes to birthing. In considering an unmedicated birth, I went from thinking I think I can do this to I know I can do this! Watch me. I really didnt think that could be accomplished in 5 weeks, but Im so thankful that shift in perspective has happened. Caroline makes her classes informative, fun, and incorporates a lot of practice and review of how to use the tools of hypnobirthing. It was an enjoyable experience for me and my husband, and I highly recommend it!
I’m pregnant with my first child and I’m so grateful to Caroline for creating this space!I truly enjoy being a part of this community. They offer abundance of resources and information, as well as much needed services for mothers and babies. “Mothering the mother” — that’s how I feel every time I leave the Center. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to receive support and quality care. From massage and facials to different classes in birth preparation, lactation and yoga! With love and care.
BEST MASSAGE EVER! BOOK HER NOW. Caroline isnt your average massage therapist she is an expert in her field. I started seeing Caroline 1-2 times a month after my first trimester and not only do I feel relaxed after every visit but I feel truly rejuvenated physically and mentally. She recognizes where tension is living your body and offers advice on how to continue relieving any tense or sore spots outside of massage. Im 31 weeks today and am still feeling great and I know incorporating massage with Caroline is a big contributor to how easy my second pregnancy has been. DO NOT WAIT to get on her schedule! She books up quick because she is the best.
Seeing Caroline for a prenatal massage in my third trimester was one of the best decisions Ive made this pregnancy. My only regret was not going sooner!! Before the massage began, Caroline took the time to ask me how my pregnancy was going, discussed specific areas of discomfort, and even shared at a high level how the massage would proceed. Caroline was such a knowledgable and positive presence, Im so grateful for the friends that recommended her
Caroline is amazing. I took her Hypnobirthing course and it was so empowering in that it gave me both knowledge and tools to have a great birth (7 weeks to go!). I also have had 4 prenatal massages with her and shes amazing. Shes a massage therapist, but shes part therapist! We talked about everything pregnancy: physical changes, emotional changes, practitioners and support people. Shes a wealth of resources. Leesburg is really far from me but its been worth every trip. I cant recommend her enough as a massage therapist and instructor!
Caroline is just the best! I went to see her for a fertility massage as we were trying to get pregnant, as well as a prenatal massage. And in a few weeks I will see her again for a postpartum massage. Not only is Caroline great at what she does, but she is so warm and welcoming and truly makes you feel comfortable and at home when youre on her massage table. I would recommend her to anyone seeking fertility, prenatal, or postpartum massage therapy!
Prenatal massages were a must for me. I felt it was one of the best ways to support my body and my mind during the pregnancy journey. I feel so lucky to have found Caroline on Instagram. I visited a couple other places early on that advertised prenatal massages but you could tell it wasnt something they did regularly or were particularly skilled in—it was more of an add-on. Caroline, on the other hand, SPECIALIZES in this service and she truly has healing hands. Your body is working hard to grow a human...it deserves a visit with her!
Caroline is amazing!Her hypnobirthing class was the key part to my smooth and transformative first birth and we returned to her for a refresher course with our second pregnancy with twins. She has a way of guiding couples through the path to becoming parents no matter their birthing choices(home, birth center, hospital, medicated or unmedicated).The course is packer full of great information, practical exercises and clear guidance. I highly suggest looking into hypnobirthing with Caroline.I also had both prenatal and postnatal massages with Caroline. She is very attentive to your needs and works magic to help your changing body during and after pregnancy.Caroline is someone you want with you through your birth journey!!
We love Caroline! We just had our first baby and used her Hypnobirthing class as part of our preparation. It was informative on the labor and birth process and helped my mindset during labor. Caroline is a great teacher! She cares a lot about her participants and wants to make sure they are empowered and prepared. We are so grateful for her!
We attended Carolines inperson Hypnobirthing class as we prepare for the arrival of our first baby. It was everything I had hoped for and more! Caroline did a wonderful job of relaying important medical information while also giving and showing good techniques to minimize the western medicinal load on my body during labor and delivery. I had some fears as our labor day approaches, but I must say at the conclusion of this class I am more excited about birthing day for more reasons than just meeting our new addition!This class also did a great job of informing and preparing my husband for birthing day. When we talk to newly pregnant friends he recommends this class as a MUST and I cannot agree more!
Cannot speak highly enough of The Body Birth and Baby Center! Caroline is truly amazing and has created such a wonderful place to learn and connect with other moms, providers and services.
My husband and I took Caroline’s Hypnobirthing class before the birth of our first baby. Caroline was a wonderful instructor and the material we learned proved to be absolutely essential in achieving the birth we wanted. I was able to have an unmedicated, incredibly positive and empowering hospital birth with minimal interventions after a 26 hour labor, which I know I would not have been able to do without having taken the class and practicing the techniques. My husband was an incredible support throughout my labor, and he credits a lot of what kept him calm and comfortable throughout the labor process to the hypnobirthing class as well. I am so grateful that this center exists here in Leesburg and am so excited to join more of the programming once baby and I are ready!
Caroline is an amazing professional and partner to have on your pregnancy journey. My husband and I took her hypnobirthing course and could not have achieved the wonderful birth experience we had without having taken Carolines classes. I highly recommend Caroline and will continue to utilize her services in the future.
If you are pregnant and for a birthing class look no further. Caroline is absolutely amazing. She makes you feel empowered and inspired to advocate for the birth you want.I can 100% say that my sons labor and birth were perfect because of the techniques that Caroline taught my husband and I in her class.Thank you so much for all you did for our family!
Caroline has been an absolute joy to work with. I started off going to her for fertility massages, which provided substantial mental and psychical relaxation. I’m now seeing her for prenatal massages which are the highlight of my month. While the massages are AMAZING, the thing I didn’t expect was having such a knowledgeable and caring provider in all aspects related to fertility, pregnancy, and beyond. I’m proud and lucky to have her on my “team” for this crazy new journey!
As a first time mom to be, and having no idea about birthing except from what Ive been told by other moms or seen in TV shows I didnt want to accept that all births had gone those ways.Carolines birthing class did not only bring peace of mind, but also built confidence in myself and giving me knowledge that I can bring my baby girl into the world calmly, and birthing does not need to be terrifying.Throughout practicing hypnobirthing at home and in classes I am much more relaxed and I have noticed myself using techniques taught in Carolines class for everyday life situations. I feel I can connect with my baby, mind and body within little to no time.Caroline was a pleasure to learn from and was always helpful and found/had answers for any questions me and my fiance had.
I recently gave birth to my first baby after completing Caroline’s HypnoBirthing course last fall. The techniques she shared helped me successfully get through a 38-hour labor without an epidural, which was my personal goal. That’s not to say that everything went perfectly smoothly for reasons out of my control & that’s where the invaluable knowledge she shares comes into play. Whether your birth is textbook, or, takes some unexpected turns as many do, Caroline’s course teaches you how to ground yourself mentally, emotionally & physically!
Going through my first pregnancy and my husband and I couldn’t have found a better support system in the Body, Birth and Baby Center! We’ve been able to build our entire birth team so far through connections with the center (doula services, our midwives, birthing classes, hopefully lactation support soon!)We just finished hypnobirthing classes with Caroline and left our last class sad that it was over, but feeling so much more equipped to handle whatever birth looks like for us feeling calm, prepared and educated on the entire process! You won’t regret utilizing any of the services the center offers!
The Body, Birth and Baby center is awesome! The approach to pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum is refreshing, especially compared to the drive-by care we experienced elsewhere.We found the center through our Midwives at Loudon Homebirth & Healthcare— they were moving into their new office at the center. We took a hypnobirthing class with Caroline to help educate ourselves about labor. The class helped us approach labor without fear— we ended up having a wonderful, calm delivery at home. Through the class, we also got connected with a doula who we ended up hiring for our delivery and it was one of the best decisions we made! We also got connected with lactation consultation that has helped our breastfeeding journey. The center provides affirming care surrounding the journey of childbirth & postpartum, I recommend taking a class or getting a massage or attending an event here if you’re considering having a baby or already pregnant or if you’ve recently had a baby!
I highly recommend the Hypnobirthing class when preparing for labor! It really helps you feel empowered, educated, and in the right mindset for whatever direction your birthing takes. Carolines prenatal and pre-labor massages are also great!
A prenatal message with Caroline is one of the BEST things you can do for yourself while pregnant. She has a gentle approach to message and you leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. I can’t wait to get back for my postpartum message.My husband and I also took Caroline’s Hypnobirthing course. It provided us with knowledge about labor and delivery as well as techniques and strategies to help us to help us achieve our birth goals. Highly recommend!
Attended Hypnobirthing class with Caroline. As a first time mom, I never thought Id feel this prepared and confident going into my birth. Im so grateful for Carolines help and instruction. I recommend hypnobirthing to any expecting mother!!
I took Carolines hypnobirthing class during my first pregnancy and am beyond grateful for everything that I learned. From techniques to get you through labor, education, and having preferences in hand for the big day, it was completely worth it. I know you cant control what happens with your delivery but you can be prepared for anything and this class absolutely that! HIGHLY recommended!
I not only used what we learned in Carolines Hypnobirthing class for my first born in the hospital but for my homebirth for my second child. I practiced the techniques a lot, which is key to their success. I also had regular prenatal massages with her and an induction massage, which were amazing for self care but also to help prepare my body for a natural birth.
The BBBC is an incredible resource that I didn’t take advantage of until I had my second child. Caroline’s Hypobirthing class made all the difference in achieving a smoother, more peaceful delivery. I couldn’t recommend her class or massages more!!
I highly recommend hypnobirthing classes with Caroline, shes an amazing teacher! Using most of what she taught in class, and alot of things I learned on my own, I was able to enjoy pain-free, quick and easy 1st labor and birth. Dont hesitate, sign up for her hypnobirthing classes already!!
Caroline is amazing! I have seen her for both prenatal and labor prep massages. I tried prenatal massages at various other places before finding Caroline and truly no one compares.
Caroline gives the absolute best pre and post natal massages. She is incredibly knowledgable about birth and everything surrounding it and always knows exactly how to help me in my physical (and mental) recovery. I cannot recommend her enough!!
Caroline provides the most calming and relaxing prenatal massage. I felt really special each time I’ve had an appointment with her. She’s got the most peaceful nature about her. 10 out 10 would recommend!
Caroline is simply the BEST! Look no further, she is the best massage therapist I ever found! She knows exactly what she’s doing and I feel excellent after every massage.
Amazing!! My neck (stiff doesnt quite cover it) was interfering with my quality of life - driving/sleeping/working. Caroline not only concentrated on that area during our session but gave me life changing tips to use in my everyday routine. My neck is SO GOOD now. Thank you Caroline!!
The entire team at The Body, Birth and Baby Center is knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. It is a wonderful community of professionals who have come together to make the entire journey of parenthood a supportive and happy path to walk.
The team provides great tools & techniques to welcome new bundles of joy into the world in a more calm environment. Caroline and the team are excellent. I recommend it for couples.
Could not ask for a better hypnobirthing instructor! Not only was the class a huge help with my first, she did a refresher course with me for my second and it was great. Highly recommend her!
So excited that Loudoun has a support system for this important stage of life! Began prenatal yoga here and LOVE it! Highly recommended!
A great line up of resources and community available! Easy to find recommendations for services in house or locally!
My massage was amazing and the space is beautiful 💚
