Such a wonderful experience. Got a quick tour of the center and everyone was so friendly and warm. Booked a prenatal massage with Letima. She was AMAZING. She took the time to listen to my needs and I felt so relaxed afterwards. My only regret was not booking a longer massage. I kept procrastinating coming to get a massage (I'm 37 weeks) but I'm definitely coming back for another massage and yoga classes. Thank you so much Motherhood Center. read more

My massage visit was pleasant. Everyone greeted me and made me feel welcome. My body felt rejuvenation and revived afterwards.

Let me tell you about the most amazing prenatal massage I've ever had. It was so good that I was hoping I could squeeze in one more visit in the remaining 48 hours of our Houston visit. The 90 minute massage was just what my body needed. The therapist (regretting not catching her name) did such a great job at focusing on the areas I mentioned. The center's overall space and massage rooms were very clean and relaxing as well. I loved that they had a changing room with samples for mothers on hand and a shower available as well. The center offers prenatal Pilates, yoga, and several other additional classes. What a treasure to have in the city! Definitely keeping this in mind for other folks and future visits. Two more tips: They sell massage packages which are ideal for savings and they also offer massages for partners as well. I can't sing the praises of the center enough from my brief experience. read more

Booked a prenatal massage at 35 weeks with Tonja. One of the best massages I've ever had. I wanted firm pressure and she really got into my knots and made me feel so relaxed and rejuvenated afterwards. Will be coming back to see her soon!! read more

I had a great experience. The staff was all so nice and welcoming. I got a prenatal massage. I had been thinking it would be the table with the tummy missing, but they actually did it sideline. The pillows made it very comfortable. Something I really appreciated is that my massage therapist (I missed her name- blame on the preg brain) really listened to what was hurting and investigated. She found a lot of knots and worked on them. Now I also know what I need to work on stretching. Always so good to keep the body in tip top shape especially during pregnancy! read more

I would give the Motherhood Center 10 stars if I could! My husband and I are expecting our first baby. Planning for a natural, unmedicated hospital birth and knowing preparation is key we didn't know where to turn. Our hospital only has virtual classes and we wanted a more personal touch with the focus on natural. The two-part natural birth class is not cheap and at first I was reluctant to spend the money, but now that we completed it I can tell you it is 1000000% worth it! Our instructor was Dena who is absolutely phenomenal. She balanced the right amount of biology, general education and real life examples without instilling fear. In fact, it was empowering! We loved the class so much that we already signed up for a newborn care class at the Motherhood Center. I seriously cannot recommend this place enough! read more

All the mamas, Treat yourselves. I highly recommend the prenatal massage here, and I loved my masseuse Amanda. From check-in, the atmosphere of the massage room, the quality of the massage (along with their special pregnancy pillows used during the massage), to the service from the staff, you will feel pampered and cared for. They even offered me a tour of the center afterwards, explained and introduced to me all the other services they offer. This place is a mamas' sanctuary. read more

Love the prenatal yoga and pilates classes. Very friendly staff and instructors. Highly recommend!

Why did I just find this place now that I'm 37 weeks pregnant!? Motherhood Center is an amazing collection of resources, classes, and activities for pregnant women in all trimesters. Need a prenatal massage? They've got them. Parenting class? Yep! Lactation consultant, babysitter, or nanny? Check, check, and check. Seriously, so many resources in one location make it super convenient for a busy mom/mom-to-be to knock several things off the to-do list, plus pick up a few things just for mom while you're at it! Crystal was the masseuse that I had, and she was amazing! One of the best prenatal massages I've ever had, and definitely an excellent price for the quality! I was so relaxed during the massage that I think I drifted off to sleep... not hard to do considering I'm super pregnant and have a toddler at home as well! I highly recommend her if you want some help alleviating your aches and pains due to pregnancy. She's very considerate, thorough, and all around an amazing massage therapist! I haven't taken any of their classes or attended a group exercise class, but I'd like to if I can get over there again before this baby pops out. They have both morning and evening class options, so if you work full-time like I do there ARE options! I really appreciate that they don't just cater to stay-at-home moms like some other places I've looked. If you're expecting, or know someone who is, I'd highly recommend checking this place out! Hint: a massage makes a GREAT present for your grumpy and uncomfortable wife! :-) read more

Motherhood Center - Up on the second floor - Doulas Near Me - Houston, Texas

THE BEST prenatal massage you will ever have. 10/10 recommend. Looking forward to coming back!

I booked a last minute prenatal massage after a particularly bad night's sleep with a tension headache -- my first visit here. I was immediately impressed with how nice and tranquil the room was. Napacha did such amazing work that I cried to her when she was finished! She got all of my problem areas and provided much needed relief. My husband and I are looking forward to attending next months Baby Bump social and I will definitely be back for more massages. What a wonderful resource for Houston mothers. read more

I came across the Motherhood center after I had my last baby. So I didn't get to do any of the prenatal classes they offer. What brought me here was the lactation consultant and the classes she does. Which I found out is for Prenatal, not Postnatal. So, I didn't get to do that class either, however, they were still very helpful. I was even given the lactation consultants personal cell phone number to call her with any questions or concerns that I had. While I was there I was able to weigh my baby, we had some concerns about lack of weight gain with her. So in between doctors appointments, were were able to bring her to the motherhood center to see if she had gained any weight. This gave us some peace of mind, Im really glad they have the scale to use here (and its free)! They have a store too with different high-end baby items like shoes, teething rings, Baltic amber( which im coming back for in a couple of months), lots of Medela items. They even have a hospital grade Medela breast pump that you can rent. Ive actually rented one! Its $70 a month to rent it, they do not sell this pump, it's from my understanding, a $1300 pump. The pump rental is just the pump and case, so you'll have to buy the tubes and flanges, and everything else you need to pump. They sell the kit for that as well. read more

Had a really relaxing prenatal massage. Jane took her time to understand my needs. She spent time on the targeted area and made sure I was comfortable. It was my first time visiting so the front staff gave me an introduction of the center as well. read more

Motherhood Center - Doulas Near Me - Houston, Texas

The BEST massage I've ever gotten I'm so happy! Service was over the top! Easy check in service and the receptionist was super sweet and helpful 10/10 will recommend! Ask for Crystal she has magic hands and is very sweet read more

Motherhood Center - Doulas Near Me - Houston, Texas

Jane. She was so sweet during my prenatal massage, and even went above and beyond for me by staying late to get me feeling more comfortable. I came in with a lot of pain from being heavily pregnant, and slept better that night because of her! They have a cute assortment of gifts you can buy for both pregnancy and postpartum, including baby/children gifts. Also, a yoga room, courses for teaching about lactation, labor, etc and a lactation room. read more

The motherhood center has been fantastic for me during my pregnancy! I've got to their exercise classes and had multiple prenatal massages there. All of the massages were great (I went to Jane, Crystal, and Netta). I also took a newborn care class with them that was very helpful for my husband and I. I can't wait to come back after my baby's is born for their baby and me classes. This place is an amazing resource for soon to be first time moms like me. I only wish I'd found it sooner! read more

I love the massages here. I haven't been since my last baby but booking one ASAP. It was so fabulous that I literally fell asleep on the table! read more

FYI - my review is based on the prental massage only. My friend found a coupon for me for $40 off a prenatal massge so of course I took advantage of it. I usually only do 50min-1hr massage, but it was my birthday, so I splurge with the 1.5hr massage.... and it was not enough! I found myself dozing off from time to time and probably freaked out Andrea (?) because I would startle myself and make a funny noise. This is my first prenatal massage (I was 29wks) and I cant compare it to others, but compared to massages in general, if you can get me to fall asleep, that's pretty awesome! It was just a little difficult switching sides. They have a shower and locker room for you to use. They also carry retail items in the lobby. There had some neat stuff. At first I thought they overpriced some items but I looked up the item online it was the same price. I may come back to try out some yoga classes. I wished they had their pilates class on the weekend instead of just Wed! read more

Motherhood Center and all their employees were very helpful in my possession to find a full time nanny job. They were very thorough in checking me out and the family. I could contact them at anytime and ask questions. They also have a babysitting side and they were all great also. It helped a lot to be able to do babysitting while I was looking for my family to be a nanny for. I found a family and can still work for the babysitting part. I really love that. I recommend this agency highly. You can't go wrong. read more

I had a prenatal massage with Jane and she was so sweet! The massage she gave me was so relaxing. I literally fell asleep on the table, which is hard to do when you're pregnant! I definitely recommend getting a prenatal massage with Jane. The location was very cute and neat, and they were attentive and accommodating. read more

Motherhood Center is wonderful! I highly recommend their nanny placement service. Their team is caring, knowledgeable, and a delight to work with. They have helped me find two wonderful nannies to work with my family over the years. The process of working with them was easy and professional, and their candidates have been very high quality. Definitely worth it. read more

I used to be very active and had my regular rotation of spin, barre, pilates, etc... When you are 7 months pregnant, exercise gets a little tougher. Spin gets super uncomfortable, there are too many modifications needed for barre and pilates, and you are exhausted so what used to be easy is often now too much. Motherhood Center to the rescue! I absolutely love the fitness classes here! The low impact fitness is perfect for expectant mamas and the instructor is so welcoming and supportive. I always get a good workout and I know I'm doing it safely. Bring a yoga mat (or you can rent one for a small fee) and a water bottle. They have a water dispenser in the room to fill up if needed. You can do class barefoot or in sneakers. Class is appropriate for all stages, although most participants are well into their second or third trimester. read more

One of my worst experiences, I paid a lot of money for a mediocre massage that frankly didn't help me at all, they hurt me and my pain got worse. They lack more organization and attention. Wait 30 minutes, but the manager never arrived. Do not waste your time and money with these people. read more

My wife and I attended the Lamaze childbirth class offered at Motherhood Center taught by Dena Rogge in October. The Lamaze class was broken into 2 sessions, 3 hour each on a Thursday evening from 5:30 to 8:30 pm. We were provided a workbook that contained a lot of good information for reference. Dena was knowledgeable and unbiased in her teachings. We learned relevant information regarding unmedicated birth and how to avoid unnecessary interventions. We also practiced breathing exercises that can help the mother cope with child birth. We enjoyed the candid conversations with the other to-be parents and going through concerns with the birthing process. Absolutely enjoyed the 6 hour course. They serve snacks and drinks during the class and I recommend having a cup of coffee beforehand if you are not used to classroom setting. Money well spent! read more

Got a 90 minute prenatal massage by Crystal this week and it was magical. I was very impressed by the questionnaire given before the session asking what hurts and what I would like my masseuse to focus on. Crystal knew exactly where to massage in order to alleviate pain and tension and to help me enjoy my pregnancy. The Motherhood Center is hands down the best place for a massage. Thank you Crystal! read more

Absolutely love it here! I did a prenatal massage, which was amazing. My husband and I also did the prepared childbirth class, which the instructor accommodated us and gave us helpful tips on natural childbirth, due to our original class being cancelled. The class was super informative and definitely helped us during the labor and delivery process. I've also been going to the mommy and baby yoga classes, which have been wonderful. My little guy absolutely loves it, and everyone is great! We've only taken the classes with Loretta, but based on my experiences, all of the teachers are wonderful! read more

If I could give the Motherhood Center six stars, I would! Since the moment my husband and I stepped into the MC, Gabriela (the owner) and the staff were welcoming, friendly, informative and professional. Gabriela gave us a tour of the center, which includes a fun lobby with complimentary beverages, a large yoga studio, massage rooms and a changing/locker room, a photography studio, and extra rooms in the back where classes (CPR, lactation, newborn, etc) are held. I have participated in the prenatal yoga classes on multiple occasions, as well as had prenatal massages by Jane and Jackie (both very skilled therapists!). My husband and I are planning to take the baby CPR and lactation courses that our being offered, and I am very excited to bring my baby in for Mommy and Me yoga this summer. All in all, I feel the Motherhood Center is a wonderful resource for mothers and couples, and provides a safe and serene space to learn so much about parenthood while keeping healthy and happy. I am a medical provider myself (Internal Medicine physician), and Gabriela's dedication and expertise in her passion is very apparent and inspiring. I feel a strong sense of confidence and support whenever we interact. Do not hesitate to stop by and check the Motherhood Center out! read more

I attended Sunday morning prenatal yoga with Gabby and it was really good...just wish the other moms were friendlier. There was a lot of guidance and instruction which I appreciated as I'm learning to negotiate and move with my new body. The center itself offers a lot of classes and a wealth of information. I will return and recommend the prenatal class. read more

Ok, here's the thing-- there are tons of places I can go to get a prenatal massage or buy bottles or find a doula (as if!) or a babysitter. So when choosing to patronize a retailer generally I use service quality as the differentiator. The Motherhood Center sells a variety of baby and mommy related products and has a decent website. Once I determined that they carried the product I was looking for, I gave them a call to see if it was in stock. No answer. Tried again 10 minutes later-- no answer. And so on, for SEVERAL DAYS. "Maybe I'll just go in," I think. But, alas, there are no store hours on their website. So I call again, and this time try to be connected with the front desk. Scraps: "I'm trying to reach the retail department but there's no answer." MC: "Did you leave a message?" Scraps: "Well, no; I just wanted to know your hours and if you had a product in stock. That's not something for which I would normally have to leave a message. Can you connect me to retail?" MC: "No. She's not always in. Can you leave a message with me?" Scraps: "Well when can I expect to have my call returned." MC: "Um, I don't know. She's not always in." Scraps "Ok, then thank you; I can just find this product elsewhere." So, in sum, this is a store that sells stuff, but not always, and if you have any questions, you might get them answered if the retail girl feels like coming in. I understand that for services and consultations and other of their many (and it IS a good selection) of mommy-centered services, I might not be able to get immediate service (even though their website displays their staff and it seems like they have many many people working there...) But in an age where I can click "buy" on Amazon and get the same product cheaper, delivered to my door in two days, a retail business like the one at the Motherhood Center just isn't worth my time. Here's hoping that front desk girl reads this and learns the phrase "oh I am so sorry you weren't able to get through. Is there any way I can assist you?" read more

The Motherhood Center has been such an wonderful resource during pregnancy! The staff is so friendly and always willing to answer any questions or concerns you have. The prenatal massages are by far the best I have tried in Houston and would highly recommend for anyone looking for one! I recently took the pregnancy classes to prepare for our little girl's arrival, and have found them so helpful and the teachers to be very knowledgeable. I can't wait until the little one is here to attend their mommy & me yoga & music classes! Thank you so much for all your help MHC! read more

I had such a great massage here! From the moment I walked in, I felt calm - it was just a feeling that hit me as soon as the door closed behind me. The staff was all really sweet and helpful and Jane's magic hands had me so relaxed! I can't wait to go back! read more

They do it all! I loved my pre-natal massage and the yoga is good too. (First class free!) Lots of package options and fun discounts once you take a class or get a massage. Staff are super friendly/supportive and the boutique has everything you might need to breastfeed or get started. Photo studio looks promising and the services they offer make me want to register there! I'm sure someone wants to get me a message or baby doula for a day, right?!? Seriously, great idea to put so many services under one roof. I recommend The Motherhood Center for all of your pre-postnatal needs. read more

We used a night nurse from Motherhood Center who was exceptional! She got our son sleeping through the night and was so thoughtful about everything!!! read more

I found the Motherhood Center after searching around for prenatal workout classes and decided to give it a try. And that was one of the BEST decisions I have made for me and my baby. I workout 4-5 times a week before pregnancy and do all kinds of things from kickboxing to yoga but when I got pregnant, I wanted to make sure the workouts I do is safe for me and baby and it will benefit me during labor and recovery. So after I tried out my first prenatal workout class with Karolina at the Motherhood Center I was hooked. I started to go there when I was 11 weeks pregnant and I am still taking the class virtually now when I am 37 weeks. The classes were great and I feel stronger and have more energy after the classes. Karolina is excellent and she is funny, energetic, friendly and she cares for each person in the class. Everyone at Motherhood Center is so nice and friendly since day 1 when I first visited. They are resourceful, helpful and super knowledgeable about all kinds of pregnancy things. The facility is clean, cozy and neat and has everything you need for pregnancy. I am glad during this tough time, they are still open and provide virtual classes online so I can take it from home. Can't wait for my baby to come and I will come back for mommy baby yoga class!!!! A great place with great people providing great help for mommies and babies! read more

This is a great place for your motherhood needs. My husband and I took a newborn care class as part of our adoption training requirements, and we both thought that it was a supportive and informative experience. Sometimes it can be a bit uncomfortable when you are adopting and are surrounded by pregnant women, but they made the whole experience pleasant and I was very appreciative of that. Now I am pregnant and I attend the fitness classes. The instructors are very knowledgeable and they each bring a unique perspective to class. I never took yoga before, but the whole experience is comfortable and everyone is focused on the individual experience of the students and maximizing the health benefits over getting into a certain pose at any cost. read more

Prenatal massages were my favorite pregnancy indulgence! Sandy was wonderful in changing up her techniques based on current tight spots I was experiencing from tense shoulders due to work deadlines to sore low back from standing too long at a baby shower to stiff hands/wrists from pregnancy induced carpal tunnel syndrome. I always left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated and the improved feeling lasted for several days. This is the place for a high quality prenatal massage tailored to your needs! Post-baby I have now been for postnatal massages as well--different massage techniques perfect for recovering from being a new mom like holding baby for hours! I also attended a panel discussion event on baby topics here that was helpful and have enjoyed browsing the lobby store. All the staff are warm and welcoming which made me feel supported on my pregnancy journey. read more

I was beyond relaxed i even drooled on the pillows i went at 33 weeks pregnant and just loved it. I did want kore pressure but I'm sure that its not allowed during this stage in pregnancy or whatever. My masseuse was Sandy she had the softest hands I've ever felt i seriously fell into deep sleep it was well worth it. I did 90 minutes because 60 is never enough lol the best was soooo comfortable and i have arthritis in my hips and even my bed at home hurts my hips but this was like a fluffy warm cloud but somehow never felt overheated. Definitely going to return before and after baby gets here. read more

Absolutely love motherhood center!! I just had my first baby and all the classes, massages and resources helped me so much to be educated during pregnancy. I absolutely love Dena!! She has such a passion for all things child birth and has a wealth of knowledge. I felt so comfortable going into labor and knowing what to expect or what could happen. The massages were incredible as well! I also purchased an incline pillow to help me sleep at night and it did miracles for me. I'm so happy that the motherhood center was recommended to me! read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. I feel so fortunate to have access to a business that is truly a one stop shop for all things pregnancy and motherhood related. I have taken advantage of their fitness classes (mostly prenatal yoga with Heather - a little slow for my taste, but the stretching was much needed and the classes were small during COVID - although I was disappointed and surprised that masks weren't required), several prenatal massages (Jane is excellent) and their Childbirth class (led by Sandra, who was thorough, informative and made us feel comfortable). All of this has been in preparation for our first child and I feel so much better having utilized these services. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Overall, this business is a great resource for those in the Houston area. I look forward to learning more about their babysitting and nanny services after the little one is born as we don't have family locally. Be sure to take advantage of this place. You won't regret it. read more

I am writing this review because I am so extremely happy at how amazingly my mother has been treated as a Caregiver (nanny) in her job search. I can not say enough wonderful things about the staff here in how nicely, and respectfully they treat people. She had issues with another agency and their lack of humanity, but once she found motherhood center they realized what a gem she is and she has found an amazing job with a loving family. Thank you ladies so much for everything you do! We all truly appreciate it! read more
