    Wanted to share a wonderful experience I had this past week! A magical moment I will treasure for…read moreyears to come I just barely 3 months postpartum with twins, decided to step out of my comfort zone & celebrate 3 months being blessed to breastfeed my boys, with a milk bath session with the wonderful Martha! It was such a pleasure! In such a vulnerable time when you may not feel entirely like yourself; or how the world can be so loud with "bounce back" culture .... She made me see myself as strong, powerful, resilient! & also soft, beautiful & my children's safest place!!!! If you're ever looking for a doula, birth photographer, or like me a special breastfeeding session she is amazing! It was comfortable, she brought some beautiful energy to my home & in seeing these reminded me how truly remarkable women are ANYWAYS, TAKE ALL THE PICTURES, I promise you will treasure them one day. Forever thankful to people like Martha who use their beautiful work to remind us how cool moms are! 5 stars is not enough, you cannot go wrong with Martha

When I was looking for the foundation of my birth team, I deeply wanted a birth photographer who is also a doula. And boy did we score!!! She was amazing. Martha, thank you for capturing one of the most empowering days of my life and all the raw and real emotions that came with it!

    RUN! The Co-parenting class is a playground for abusers. Dana will lie to you and tell you she…read morewants to help you then support the abusive parent. (recorded) They write dishonest reports and watch the abusive parent break court orders and engage in verbal, emotional, physical, legal, and financial abuse and blame the safe parent and the only person that is taking care of the child. They just want money. It is the most horrific "class" I have every been a part of. Unqualified teachers telling you to "Give your abuse to a candle". Making jokes about parents jumping off bridges with their children. Laughing at you and saying "He's doesn't have to pay, he still gets to see the child it doesn't matter if he pays child support". These were instrutors. They watch the abuse first had and then tell you you should not react and fail you if you do. Oh your child was neglected and exploited they don't care. Its not about the child it' s about you being forced to endure abuse in front of them and not reacting. People who respond positivity must be the ones engaging in abuse and taking advantage of the system. I wonder how much it costs to get the report written in your favor when you raise your hands, clench your teeth, and yell at the other parent every class. I had to complain to Dana to be allowed to speak as my co-parent constantly spoke over me in and effort the pacify the truth.

    This review has been sitting dormant in my Yelp account since 2023…read more From the testing by the owner, I was informed that my child had stealth dyslexia, which is why we signed up for summer slide in 2023. After a few weeks, my son presented with increased anxiety and crying. He became dysregulated where he was chewing gum due to anxiety. He cited the behavior with one specific instructor as dismissive and restrictive. He stated that she was capable of offering help to students. She just didn't offer him assistance in a way that was empowering. Her communication was not constructive. He repeatedly expressed his needs as a learner. He wanted to focus on improving his writing. After the owner removed contact with him and the teacher at my request, I learned that my son was threatened by another teacher that he would be sent back to the previous instructor if he didn't comply. Compliance was big in this environment, more than learning. He's a well behaved, polite kid so these methods were inappropriate so I withdrew him. I requested that we end the Summer Program immediately. We received a refund for the final week; however, the owner provided an unsolicited diagnosis data later that my child had ASD. Prior to starting camp, I shared documents from my son's psychologist and play therapist. An ADOS evaluation along with multiple other assessments were completed and unfounded by a licensed psychologist and therapist. All evaluations included visual impairment from a licensed developmental optometrist. His tutor also provided a 1:1 consult with the lead teacher. Learning Lab provided no instruction to focus on writing as requested. The owner went as far as to refer me to a parent who was opening a school for ASD students. We removed Learning Lab from our team. We followed up with vision therapy and addressing anxiety from this experience. In 2024, My son was tested by BCPS School Psychologist and Vision invernant. They reported a reading score at 7th grade level when he was 4th grade. There is no sign of dyslexia. We are now preparing for summer 2025. Last month, I reviewed his standardized test scores with the assistant principal at my son's school. He tested in the top 90th %-tile nationwide across all core courses.

    First time going to Learning Lab this summer (2025). I enrolled my 2 sons (4th grader and 6th…read moregrader) in their Smart Summer Program. Both my boys have ADHD, my oldest also has Dyslexia. I have been impressed with the program. First the owner starts with a student evaluation to determine their levels in reading and math. Then, she creates a custom learning plan to target the gaps and develop the child's skills in areas where they are behind. I was concerned my kids would fight me about going since they weren't interested in any school work during their summer break. To my surprise, they have been extremely cooperative and enjoy going. The program is 3 hours a day, 5 days a week for 6 weeks. They like all of the teachers and the 30 minute rotations keep them engaged. They are working on improving their reading fluency, comprehension and writing skills. Each week they work on an essay which is great since both my kids really struggle with writing and supporting sentences. They are also spending time on math as well. Overall, we are very happy with this program and I intend on enrolling my boys again next summer. This definitely helps to keep them on track and not suffer the summer slip as most kids do when they aren't working on educational material. I also plan to enroll them in one-on-one tutoring or homework lab at Learning Lab during the school year. I'm really happy I found this place. I've tried various tutors over the years, but I haven't gotten the structure and progress measuring as I have here at the Learning Lab.

    It's difficult to sum into words the positive difference this place has made into our lives. This…read moremay be a little long but please read on. My husband and I came to TGP just for information on hospital birth and ended up being blessed in so many ways by the employees there. After meeting and becoming informed by Michelle, one of the owners, we decided to hire a doula in order to have assistance during the birth of our first baby. Their doula services come at different prices in order to ensure that everyone from varying financial backgrounds can have access to this vital service. Our doula, Florencia, was a rock for us during the birth. She kept me focused and ensured that I got the birth that I wanted for baby and me. All the doula services come with access to three very informative classes. Take advantage of these and their very knowledgeable team! We learned so much and met other families going through this experience. It was wonderful. I can't say enough and express how grateful I am to these ladies. They made the community real for me when I didn't think it possible. I had arranged to have the two female doctors at the practice I used be available to assist my birth. The day I went into labor, my doctor and her backup became unavailable. Leaving me to their male doctor who had been particularly unkind to me at previous visits. I was a wreck laboring thinking he would be at the delivery. My doula contacted the owners at TGP and they made magic happen. Through their help I was seen and had my baby delivered at the hospital by an amazing midwife. My situation may not be common but their assistance was amazing and made the community of women empowering child birth real to me. It goes without saying my husband and I couldn't be more grateful for their services. Our little baby boy was born healthy, naturally, and drug free this past May.

    Be very very careful if you use this company to select a doula. Having a doula was incredibly…read moreimportant to me during my labor that I actually booked one from the Gathering Place at only 4 months pregnant. At 34 weeks, my doula contacted me via EMAIL to inform me she was moving out of state and no longer able to attend my birth or provide postpartum support. Frantically I tried to find a new doula but at that point there weren't many options and I did not have anytime to build rapport. They gave me an alternate doula who was listed as a level I (I paid for level IV) and then tried to suggest that their website was not up to date. They were also impossible to get in touch with and only communicated by text and email. I ended up not being able to have any doula support at very complicated early induction due to preeclampsia where I ended up having every intervention under the sun short of a c section to make sure my daughter could be safely delivered. My daughter just came home from nicu and I have no postpartum support - my family does not live near me and with the covid resurgence they are not able to come - another reason why I wanted a doula. The kicker is, the Gathering Place won't even give me a full refund after all of this. If having a doula is an important part of your birth plan or postpartum plan, I would highly recommend going elsewhere to ensure you actually have one when your baby actually arrives.
