I saw Exie for a prenatal massage and was so satisfied that I will definitely be coming back for…read morefuture massages for back and shoulder pain. The long drive is totally worth it. Exie is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about her work. I was shocked (in a good way!) that the consultation before the massage was quite thorough and did not cut into our hour of massage time. I hadn't experienced this anywhere else; the amount of time you pay for at Tranquil Touch is the amount of time that you are actually on the table being massaged. Exie was very receptive to what type of massage I wanted, any injuries I had, and what areas were causing problems, and tailored the session to meet those needs. She made me feel very comfortable, both physically and emotionally. I can't recommend her more highly!

EXCELLENT prenatal massage! Exie is professional, comforting, and the massage felt very…read morepersonalized and thorough. She has a prenatal table with a cutout/basket to support the belly, so I was able to lay on my stomach for the first portion (at 38 weeks pregnant this is the best thing ever!) I went in with a lot of tension, soreness, and stiffness in my hips and low back (pretty typical pregnancy aches and pains) and left feeling very close to normal and tension-free. I've also had more energy all day since receiving the massage. The office is decorated really nicely - clean, modern, and calming. She played relaxing music during the massage and the temperature was very comfortable in the room. Her location is easy-to-find and there was a reserved parking space for massage clients just outside the door. I plan to return for a post-natal massage and highly recommend Exie's massage services to all pregnant women looking for some relief and relaxation. I'm already working with another birth doula, but if I were still looking, I would certainly consider hiring Exie as my doula.

I wish I could give the team at LLB&F more than 5 stars. I hired them for doula services, birth…read moreclasses, and lactation advices for my first pregnancy. I started with them in April/May and am still using them for support after my baby has been born for 2 months now. With COVID being an issue this year, the team is regularly tested before they visit you and wear masks at all times. They offer online courses, consultations, and tons of resources. The consultation we initially had to determine if I wanted to use them as my doula(s) was simple and felt very natural. They were all so easy to talk to and they answered all my questions thoroughly and made my feel at ease that I knew right away I wanted them as my doula. I had the Down and Dirty birth classes with Christie. There were 2 classes. Both were for what I could do during pregnancy to ease my body, exercises to do, plans for after birth, plans for during birth, what I could expect before, during, and after birth, and even a short newborn section on how to care for my baby when we got home. She was so detailed and gave so many resources for my spouse and I to review together. It was honestly so much better than reading a dozen birth books or watching youtube videos of similar classes. During my pregnancy, I was given a team of 3 doulas (Lisa, Kate, & Kelly) that I could contact at any time for questions, pregnancy concerns, venting, or whatever I needed. They were always helpful and made me feel comfortable to talk to them about anything, including the gross stuff associated with being pregnant. During my birth, Lisa was on call and arrived at the hospital very quickly since I went into spontaneous labor. She helped me get comfortable since I was attached to 2 different IV's and was restricted to only being on the bed and helped me advocate for myself since I had a lot going on and pressure to break my water and start pushing when I wasn't ready. She helped my spouse with affirmations and what he could do to stay comfortable, help me, or even get food while she stayed in the room. While I was giving birth, she was great at coaching helped me push and helped my spouse with what he could do to help me as well. They were a great team that I definitely needed. Lisa stayed for a few hours after baby arrived. She made sure everything was going smoothly, that my spouse and I were okay, that baby was okay, we were getting enough skin-to-skin time and additional food/water if we needed it. Postpartum, the team stayed in contact every day to make sure I was doing okay. LLB&F offers house support during the day or at night but I opted out due to COVID. Kate is my lactation consultant and I needed her 2 days after I came home from the hospital. I was having a meltdown on breastfeeding and she was there that night to help me out. We went over everything I was concerned with, including the different bottles I had and their flow, how my baby was latching and different ways to hold him, and how to express my milk, pump, and gather it during breastfeeding. I have stayed in contact with her for weeks and even months now with random questions or concerns I have during my baby's growth with breastfeeding. Kate has always been there for me and at this point I consider her one of my friends thats how close we have gotten through this journey. I have recommended LLB&F to all of my friends and family who plan on having kids. My excitement and happiness with them throughout my entire pregnancy journey has been unmeasurable. I'm so happy I chose them and will be using them again. As if their personal care wasn't enough, they also offer affordable doula support for those who need it and they are active in the LGBTQ+ community as well. I have learned so much through them and am still learning every day from their Instagram @livelightdetroit. Thank you Christie, Kelly, Lisa, and Kate for giving me the best support, learning tools, and now a lifetime of friendship. I can't wait to see you all again.

My husband and I got pregnant with our first child - we were scared and nervous with very limited…read moreknowledge about all things birth and babies. This is ultimately the reason we decided to hire a Doula. We wanted to feel confident in our decisions related to birth, feel comfortable going into labor, and feel supported all along the way. Live Light Birth Doulas provided all of this and more!!! We don't have enough positive and amazing things to say. Natasha and Rachel were incredible to work with. From the very start, we felt super comfortable. We were provided with so much information that we would have never gotten or had time to research on our own. They also have a Down and Dirty birth class that we took that we found to be very useful in educating ourselves further. Any question we had, Natasha and Rachel were there to answer and provide guidance - literally all hours of the day, every day of the week. That was extremely reassuring! They were right there beside us the remainder of our pregnancy, during our birth, and even postpartum. The support we received was second to none and I truly am so appreciative of them. They are so kind and caring. Natasha and Rachel really listen to what YOU want and how YOU want your birth plan to go. They listen to your wants and needs. They help you create your birth plan based on those wants and needs. And most importantly, they help you feel confident in the decisions you are making. We also worked with Claire during the lactation workshop - learning more about breastfeeding and again, found extremely valuable if you are even considering trying to breastfeed. If you are thinking of hiring a Doula, we highly recommend Live Light Birth! Every part of this process was an amazing experience, and we owe that to the knowledge and support they gave us!

I'm so glad places like the Mama Hub exist - what a tremendous and much needed resource here in…read moreDetroit. They have weekly classes and get-togethers, as well as pop-up events, all the with aim of providing space and connection for parents. During my little's first three months, I attended their Mama Circles and their breastfeeding support group. Both of these groups were super supportive and non-judgmental, and allowed me, a first-time parent, to ask all the little questions that I had about raising a human. Plus, they usually had great snacks at these groups. Now, as my little is over a year old (cue sobs), I get to utilize their new space in a different way: fun classes! We've checked out their Bilingual Storytime and Rhythm/Motion classes; both classes were thoughtfully executed and engaging. Parenting is hard, and googling stuff on the interwebs just isn't the same as having a good conversation with a fellow parent who is going through the same ish that you are. This is why the Mama Hub is so great - you get to share in the experience and make some new friends in the process. Thanks, Alex & Jalyn!

I can't recommend Angela highly enough! She went above and beyond all expectations. She came to the…read morehospital at 7am to help us advocate for ourselves and help us decide between an induction or repeat c section at just 34 weeks. We chose induction and sent her home for a while as we knew it was going to be a long day. She kept continuous contact via text and made the call to come back on her own once my waters had broken. At that point I was handling contractions great, but within an hour of her arrival they intensified quickly, like she knew exactly when I would need her. She was a continuous calming presence for me, helped my husband in supporting me, and provided a barrier between me and the constant interruption of doctors and nurses checking in. When baby started having scary heart decels she remained calm and warned me a lot of people were about to come into the room and what was happening. Despite knowing things weren't going the way I wanted her demeanor helped me remain calm. The call was made to have a repeat c section. Angela accompanied us to the OR for a 2-ish hour surgery as I had so much scar tissue from prior c sections. Our preemie was born an hour in and my husband followed her to the NICU. Angela stayed with me holding my hand and telling me what was happening almost the entire time, only leaving my side when I requested her to get an update on my baby. She followed me to recovery and stayed until I was ready for her to leave. My husband had been concerned about whether a doula would be "worth it" in the event of a c section, and I can confidently say she was worth every penny and I would do it all over again. In fact, if we didn't live so far away (almost 2 hours) I would hire her for postpartum care as well. She has continued to remain in contact during our NICU stay, checking in on me, my healing, my mental state, and asking about baby. We love Angela and are so grateful for the love and care she provided us through this beautiful and scary experience.

She is an absolute angel and I could not have gotten through a "three day birthing extravaganza" without her! She supported me both mentally and physically during every contraction and helped me maintain strength to avoid having a cesarian. Between massaging my back and giving me sips of water between every contraction, she took better care of me than any family member possibly could. She advocated for my natural birth plan every step of the way and guided me through breathing techniques when it came time to push. There was not a minute that went by without her by my side. I could go on and on but the most important piece, was the emotional support that she invested in my birthing experience. I felt the comfort of a best friend and all the guidance of an expert. I'd recommend Eri to any mama who wants to feel grounded, supported, and fully loved in the delivery room.
