Dipo Owoiya: We are glad we found Birthing by Calm. Tiffany made the class very informative and also plenty of options that a lotof women didn't know once we started asking associates. It is essentialfor women to take a class with Tiffanyto understand the birthing process from a mothers perspective with guiding resources in making a more rounded decisions for both the mother and the father. We learnt a few things the makes this pregnancy a lot easier than our first. You won't regret taking this class.

Maria Kuczynski: I am so grateful to have found this class to be a part of for my second birth. My first birth went well but I did have an epidural and unfortunately suffered complications afterwards. I wanted a different experience for my second birth and wanted to do it naturally and when I heard about this class I wanted to take it to have every tool in my tool belt to have an enjoyable natural delivery and boy did it deliver!My second delivery came fast and the feeling of my body knowing exactly what to do and when to do it and to simply focus on my breathing was a game changer. I was in awe of women’s bodies after my first baby and even more so after my second and cannot thank Tiffany enough! I would recommend this class to anyone wanting to have an amazing powerful birth experience!

Matana Wanarojee: We recently took class with Tiffany and really enjoyed it. This will be our first, so we really didn't have any experience going in. We feel much more prepared, educated and confident. Thank you so much Tiffany!!

Elizabeth Lang: I highly recommend taking Tiffany’s hypnobirthing course! I enjoyed that the course was a series of classes that allowed my husband and I to process the information we learned at each class and be able to follow up and ask questions at the next. I very much enjoyed having the opportunity to take this course in person as Tiffany worked with us on breathing and relaxation techniques.Having taken two other general birth classes (each just one session), I feel the most informed, prepared and confident after finishing hypnobirthing with Tiffany. I now understand how my body was built for birth, how to trust my birthing body, and options I may be presented with in the hospital setting. My husband gained a great deal from this course and how he can be a supportive birthing partner.In addition, Tiffany provides helpful resources that are included with the course fee such as the Hypnobirthing: The Mongan Method book by Marie Mongan (creator of hypnobirthing) and relaxation/affirmation audios.Thank you, Tiffany, for sharing hypnobirthing with me and my husband!

Claudia Thomas: this class truly saved me. i found bbc for my second pregnancy, due to having a very traumatic first birthing experience .. i wanted to branch out and try hypnobirthing and Tiffany made the class absolutely worth it. She gave so much insightful information and advice on how to advocate for myself and help me forgive and move past the trauma of my first birth experience. I can honestly say that I feel very confident and safe this pregnancy due to Tiffany’s guidance! So much love for her! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Margaret Zack: I had terrible experiences during my first two births and for my third I wanted to be more prepared. Not to make sure everything went right, but knowing that there will always be things out of my control, I wanted to know how I could be confident and flexible and calm during my labor. Tiffany helped my husband and I understand the options that we have for birth, how to know what was right for US and our baby, and express that to our midwife. The practices we learned in our private class showed us what was possible and we were able to put them to use not only during the labor, but to stay calm and collected on the weeks leading up to our birth.Of course, the birth did not go as perfectly as we wanted, but we were able to stay focused and make decisions as we went along, and vocalize and set boundaries with the medical staff at our hospital. Because of Birthing by Calm, I was able to have such a healing birth experience and our little one’s first breaths were in a beautiful calm environment where she felt loved and cared for. I am so grateful I learned to trust and honor my incredible body and that my husband learned exactly what to do to support me and the baby through preparation, surges, birth and beyond. I am still using what I learned and our little one is almost 3 months old!Thank you so much!

Katie Bush: My husband and I took Tiffany’s class prior to the birth of our second child. We had a home birth planned and wanted to be as knowledgeable and prepared as possible. The techniques and positive outlook surrounding birth was empowering. I appreciated that the class taught new parents that they have the authority to make educated decisions on their own regarding their pregnancy, birth and baby. I wish I had taken hypnobirthing before going into the hospital with my first baby. Knowledge is power and Tiffany’s class definitely helped put me in the right headspace for birthing. If we have baby #3, I will definitely be following the same path. Thanks for the tools and guidance that helped pave the way towards our ideal birth. They were indispensable.

Christy Greb: Tiffany is amazing! As a first time Mom she made it possible to go into the unknown of labor and delivery with so much calm and confidence and continues to offer support beyond just the class if she can. Great place to also meet other parents and feel empowered in pursuing the birthing experience and journey that feels best for you and your baby!

Josh Corr (TSL Outdoors): This class was such a blessing! Such a calm environment and we met great people. Hypnobirthing really helped to heal my past birth traumas in an attempt to have a homebirth for my 3rd. Although I ended up having a much needed csection, I was able to stay positive and calm throughout the whole process and even postpartum. Where I would’ve considered this birth traumatic in the past, I definitely feel the complete opposite and have hypnobirthing to thank for that! Baby came out so calm and barely ever cries. What an awesome life-changing experience and knowledge that I can use in daily life now. Thank you so much!

Matt Young: My wife and I signed up for hypnobirthing not knowing really what to expect and we can not recommend it more. Tiffany put both of our minds at ease about the childbirth process and encourage an overall positive mindset for not only going through the birthing process but you can carry the lessons learned throughout other aspects of life.My wife ended up needing a C-section because our little man was breech but we were still able to use many of the calming influences to stay on track leading up to, during and after birth.Hypnobirthing is a no-brainer in our opinion for anyone expecting a little one! We will be huge advocates moving forward.

Shane Trantham: Highly recommend the class. My wife and I did the free workshop to make sure it was a good fit. Tiffany was absolutely amazing and very knowledgeable. If you have thoughts about HypnoBirthing at all, try the free workshop.

Whitney Lawn: *Update* This class changed my entire outlook on the birthing experience and helped me to stay calm and trust my body when I had my baby girl in January. It was a better experience than I could have ever imagined. The breathing techniques helped me breathe through the surges and what I learned in the class helped me to be confident enough to trust my body. I am here to tell you it is absolutely possible to have a beautiful birthing experience, without pain, without induction, and without medication. If you are on the fence about taking her class, do it!! Thank you Tiffany 3My husband and I took Tiffany's hypnobirthing course recently and it was wonderful! She is very knowledgeable and taught us a lot of invaluable tools to prepare for the birth of our little one. She was able to help me put aside my fears and truly look forward to the birthing experience. We don't live nearby so it was a bit of a drive but absolutely worth it. Tiffany has a very calming way about her and has a sense of humor as well. I highly recommend taking her course, whether you want a natural birth, learn helpful tools and breathing techniques, advocate for yourself at the hospital, and/or set aside your fears and trust your body.

teia irwin: TIffany was an excellent instructor in HypnoBirthing. She was wonderful at accommodating our crazy schedule too. I feel much more confident for our delivery day.

Sarah: Tiffany went above and beyond, taking her time to privately address a few concerns of mine that were getting in the way of my envisioning a pain free, natural birth. She really wants to support women in achieving the birth of their dreams. Check out her videos on YouTube by searching Birthing by Calm, for a great introduction to Tiffany and her philosophy.

Maria Melistas: Before taking this course I was nervous about birthing for the first time unmedicated! After the course, I felt so prepared I didn't even have questions at the end of the course. I'm comfortable with the whole process now and am excited to welcome my little one! Tiffany goes above and beyond and makes you feel very comfortable! You wont regret signing up!

Keely Bules: My husband and I took Tiffany’s class in preparation for our third baby. She is spectacular! She has a very warm and comforting presence about her. I had never felt so confident about giving birth before. We had the most amazing birthing experience and we owe it all to Tiffany! Thank you so much!

eleni tikkanen: Just finished my hypnobirthing course with Tiffany and it exceeded my expectations! Everything I’ve ever been scared about since I was a little girl about giving birth has gone out the window. She gave me the confidence to ask questions when necessary, and the confidence in my body to know what it’s doing when it comes to birthing! I’ve yet to have my baby, but I’m going in to it feeling ready & excited for the journey. Thank you so much Tiffany!!

Linda Morphew: This experience was more than I expected. Hypnobirthing techniques/philosophy is valuable in itself, but Tiffany's demeanor and ability to engage people was critical to how valuable the experience was for me. It helped me better understand childbirthing and my options. it helped me to believe that natural childbirth does not have to be unusual or scary or painful, as that is generally what the culture surrounding childbirth trains you to believe. What I learned and practiced will go well beyond childbirth. It helped to develop positive thinking, acceptance, confidence, and relaxation that I will use from now and beyond having my child. I just finished the classes a week ago and although I have not yet birthed my child, the effects on my state of being, letting go of things that have been holding me down, and feelings of calm happiness are apparent. I went into it excited and as a self-advocate already, so I know it may be a different experience for others, but if you go into Tiffany's class with an open mind to learn and an allowance for unfettered hypnosis/relaxation, wonderful things could happen to you too. Thank you, Tiffany!

April-Rose Flynn: Hypnobirthing gave me better confidence in myself and letting me know it's okay to push when you want/feel you need to, that you don't have to wait for them to say it's okay. To listen to your body. That's what helped the most from my experience! We learned so much! Thank you Tiffany, you have great talent in what you do with hypnobirthing!

Jafar Amin: We took hypoTiffany’s birthing class and it was an eye opening experience to say the least.Frankly speaking , as new parents we couldn’t ask more and we learned a lot about natural birth, breathing techniques and relaxation. I highly recommend her class 😊

Riley Dillard: We loved the class. Ashley was very knowledgeable and helpful even outside of class times.

Katie Valley: My birth partner and I had such a positive experience taking the hypnobirthing classes with Sam. We both feel prepared and informed going into labor and delivery and look forward to sharing our birthing story soon!

Andrea Rentz: Sam was really great. She is passionate about educating and empowering couples to have the birth of their dreams. Even though my birth ended up with a gentle c-section instead of the water birth I had hoped for, the information and coping skills this class taught me allowed my partner and I to make informed decisions and process our emotions in the moment. I highly recommend this class and am so grateful to have gone through it.

christina ross: This was a great series of classes to help an expecting couple prepare for childbirth. I felt much more confident and connected to the process after this course. I would highly recommend it. Ashley was a fun and relatable teacher and you can’t beat the opportunity to connect with other couples we are going through all the same things that you are. We were thrilled to bring baby Desmond into the world safety and calmly without the use of any drugs. It was a beautiful process that I will cherish forever. This class really helped us achieve our goal.

Elizabeth Tokar: Can’t recommend enough. Tori was amazing and tailored our sessions to our situation (previous surgery, etc). We have felt so much more confident and prepared with their assistance.

Jessica Pack: Highly recommend! My husband and I feel so much more informed after our 5 weeks of classes with Tori. We felt welcomed, understood, and cared for. We are so excited to welcome our little guy into the world, free of fear! Thank you so much Tori! ❤️

Alesha Biggs: I highly recommend. Ashley was extremely helpful and informative. My fiancé and I have so much peace stepping into this next chapter after attending the hypnobirthing class.

Angela: After reading a book on hypnobirthing, my husband and I decided to take a class with Ashley in preparation for our first baby (she’ll be arriving in a few months!). We had an amazing experience! Ashley is so knowledgeable and helpful, and the class was very holistic in nature. She talks about not just hypnobirthing but everything a couple could want to know about having a natural, healthy labor, breastfeeding, and postpartum experience. I highly recommend!

Amanda Lind: Loved working with Alyssa in Brighton! She clearly has a true passion for what she does and all of the information in class was very nicely complimented by her stories from her work as a birth doula. It was super easy to get a long with her and become friends throughout the process. We feel A LOT more confident going into our birth experience and like we got a lot of information that we would not have gotten through the generic hospital class. Also love that Alyssa has offered to be a resource going forward if we have any additional questions that come up - after all there is a lot of information to learn and take in. Can't wait to put our learnings to practice!

Frances Murphy: I am so thankful for this hypnobirthing class. It opened my eyes to a side of birth that we don't normally see and provided me with confidence in giving birth to our first baby.

Chuck Edwards: Danielle is not only crazy knowledgeable, she's also an amazing person. My wife and I hired her to educate us on birthing options, doctors and hospitals. She came to our home, making it super convenient. She provided us all the ins n out of everything to know regarding giving birth in Metro Detroit. She sent a follow-up email outlining what we talked about. Coolest part is long after she had gotten our pay, she was there for us to answer questions and continue to guide us through delivery. I cannot highly enough recommend Metro-Detroit HypnoBirthing.

Leah K: Not only is Danielle full of knowledge, but she is kind, compassionate and you can tell she loves what she does!

Kristin Melfi: Dani is amazing at what she does!

Samantha Mical: One of the best choices during my pregnancy. Danielle gave me countless tools that were priceless during my labor. She was able to accomodate my husband and I's hectic work schedules with private weekend classes. Had that not been an option we would not have been able to take the course. We learned so much and I am able to use many of those techniques daily. Even after having baby! Passionate, wonderful business!

Rachael Elizabeth: Dani is an amazing educator! She is very passionate about helping mamas have amazing births! I highly recommend her classes to learn her amazing approach to labor and delivery. She helps mamas that are unsure of what to expect in labor, learn successful skills to calmly birth baby gently earth side.

Emily Bliss: I would recommend that every parent to be take a birthing class of some kind before your little bundle of joy arrives. My husband and I chose to take Hypnobirthing with Danielle in preparation of our second child. We were not able to attend any of the hypnobirthing classes around and Danielle was so helpful working with our schedule to make sure we were could attend a private class. She was great and helped us be more at ease. No matter what you prepare for anything can happen and she provided us with a variety of strategies to be calm and bring our daughter into the world.

Elise Bowerman: Danielle provides women (couples) the education and reassurance that pregnancy and birthing are experiences to be excited about! As a Prenatal Yoga teacher, HypnoBirthing is a perfect compliment in preparation for the transformative process birthing offers. I highly recommend Danielle's program to ALL my students to not only provide insight that they're capable of birthing without fear; but also to inform and encourage their birthing partner of the normalization of birth, and how they can assist in the process.

Amanda King: Danielle's passion for preparing women for childbirth is outstanding, she is definitely someone I will refer my clients to if they are interested in a HypnoBirthing course. I will be taking the class in the future when we get pregnant again!

Laurie burns: Dani and I came to know each other through the hypnobirth class I chose to take before my little peanut was born. I am a single Mom and Dani was kind enough to agree to be my partner during class, which later turned into a partnership for mine and Josi's birth and a lifelong friendship. I was blessed with Dani during my pregnancy to help talk through decisions about my birthing plan, share her abundant knowledge of hypnobirthing and the vastness of possibilities that may be a part of my birth story, my concerns about vaccines/other medical concerns and ultimately a conversation about my water breaking that led to our trip to L&D.Dani was there with me during the birth process at St Joe's to advocate for the important things I outlined in my birth plan, give me encouragement during the most difficult parts of labor and help me find comfort in my own birthing process. She is also very special because she was the angel that tastefully and firmly advocated for delay of pitocin, birthing positions, delay of unnecessary monitoring and delayed cord clamping (which were all requested in my birth plan) and then cut the cord when it was finally time to do so (all after almost having to catch my flying peanut midair). She has continues to be a fountain of knowledge, encouragement and love! We love her so much and hope others are able to benefit from the passion and love she shares with each of her clients. We love you, Dani!💞

Steve Smiddy: My wife and I just finished the class with Danielle! Great experience! She shows that she cares!

Stephanie Illian: HypnoBirthing with Elizabeth Ireland was a total game changer for me during the birthing of baby #3! Her compassionate delivery of the educational material makes it accessible and easily implementable . The surge breathing technique completely changed how I experienced my labor. And my physical post-partum experience has been completely different than that of my first two labors. If you have any doubt as to whether or not you should consider taking the course, DO IT!!! No matter what number birth this is for you. There is immense power in education! And Elizabeth is fantastic, knowledgeable & passionate about helping you achieve the birthing experience you desire!!!!

kimberly fox: Elizabeth was fantastic! We did a private in home class with her and I feel that it was 10000% worth it to prepare myself and my husband for what is to come with our labor and birth!Going into her class, I was dead set on getting an epidural and just going with the flow of what the doctors/nurses told me was routine. After her class, I feel way better informed and prepared to make decisions based on what is best for both me and baby! On top of that, I feel prepared to go into labor and not need an epidural!This class didn’t just help inform and prepare me, but it also helped prepare my husband. Not just for our birth, but also for the weeks leading up! Taking this class allowed him to become way more involved in the process and has helped me feel supported in more ways than one through my pregnancy!I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about Elizabeth and her class and what it has done to help me feel prepared for birth! If you are on the fence about taking the class, just do it!!!

Courtney Faraday: Such a great experience! I would highly recommend this class before giving birth!

Kathryn Lafrinere: Cannot say enough good about Elizabeth!! She had an incredible wealth of knowledge and positive, gleaming energy that helped guide us through our first pregnancy journey! Elizabeth was very approachable throughout the course and really took the time to explain everything in great detail. We feel more than ever ready for our baby's arrival thanks to her and are looking forward to a positive birth experience using the tools and techniques she taught us!

Heather Seitz: As first time parents Elizabeth helped my husband and I feel more comfortable and give us more confidence to have the natural birth that we want. We did one on one skype sessions with her which I would highly recommend. It was so nice not having to leave our home after work to attend a class. She was very patient and enthusiastic which helped me relax about the delivery process and now I am looking forward to it! I cannot recommend Elizabeth enough.

Ashley Haack: Being first time parents Elizabeth really helped my husband and I gain knowledge and confidence in the ability to become great parents. She was very compassionate and understanding to our specific needs and wants and catered the class to us. She made me understand that no matter how my birth may end up it will still be peaceful and calm because I have control and will make it that way

Emilyjane928 Emily: Elizabeth's passion and enthusiasm for birth really shines through. She has a 'no fear' take and really helps you understand how the body is meant to work during natural birth. Highly recommend!!!

Brittany Smith: Elizabeth was great and very helpful! I would highly recommend her for a hypnobirthing class!

Stephanie Schwagle: I wish I could give the team at LLB&F more than 5 stars. I hired them for doula services, birth classes, 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.
