I am a first time mom so I haven't had a doula before, but let me tell you, if they're all as amazing as Jennifer is.. then everyone deserves a doula. She was awesome help before labor. My husband and I could call and ask whatever we needed to whenever we needed to and she was there for us! The real test was during labor... let me tell you she was amazing. She helped me through labor for a LONG time. Helped me with pain management drug free, massaged me, walked with me, talked me through contractions. I seriously am SO glad I was able to have her by my side. She was amazing and I am beyond thankful for her!! If you're looking for a doula, desert birth and wellness is your place!

We booked a massage with Supinda on the first day of our Airbnb stay in Joshua Tree and it was…read morehonestly one of the best decisions we made for our trip. The booking process through her website was super easy, and she was communicative and kind leading up to the session. She arrived right on time to our Airbnb, and from the moment we met her, she gave off the most calming, grounded energy. My husband had his massage first and immediately gave it a 5/5 - he raved about how great it was and encouraged me to book one too (he actually said it was one of the best massages he's ever had). I'm usually a bit hesitant about massages (not super comfortable with strangers touching me), but there was something about Supinda that put me at ease. I'm so glad I went through with it. Her touch was incredibly intuitive and restorative, and the whole experience just felt... healing. I had been pretty sick leading up to the trip, and that session honestly helped me feel like myself again. We'll absolutely book with her again the next time we're in Joshua Tree. Can't recommend her enough!

From start to finish, Supinda was very hands on and informative while also very soft spoken and calming. This is mine and my husband's first baby so we wanted to gain any piece of knowledge to help us feel confident once the time comes to welcome our daughter into the world. Supinda tailored the class to our specific concerns and needs and addressed any and all areas we felt uncertain about. The lesson itself was very intimate and allowed time to feel connected to my husband. Since I am in the last week before my due date, she assisted my husband in pressing and located induction points to help get things going and also release any extra pressure my body was holding after some of the yogic poses. I am extremely grateful for Supinda and Sowing Seeds! If you are looking to feel more confident in your birth space, consider following her and joining in on the workshops. You won't regret it

From the dad's view - (note: this was our first baby)…read more Hiring Britney was the best decision we made. Let me explain to the dads out there why this turned out to be so awesome and worth every penny. There is a lot about the whole pregnancy thing that are challenging for dad mostly because you feel a little helpless. I had no idea what to really expect and hadn't even seen a birth before. We took some hypno-birthing classes and those were helpful. I also read a ton of books. One I recommend is Expectant Fathers http://a.co/6av4TBN - it is a book just for expecting dads. From the first meeting we liked Britney because she tells it like it is, asks thoughtful questions and is flexible with her approach. This means you get to direct how you want the brith to go down. She comes and meets with you a couple of times before the baby is born. This is great because you get to ask more questions and dive into what to expect the day of. My wife really really didn't want a c-section and Britney was great about helping us understand how we can best avoid the procedure. She also wanted to avoid an epidural...and she did. Now fast forward to the day of the birth, or in our case the two days :) It is darn near traumatizing to watch your significant other go through child labor. We stayed home as long as we could before heading to the hospital. Britney was texting and calling while we waited, ate, slept, walked, drank water, and chilled for hours while the labor proceeded. It was nice having someone I could reach out to with questions while we were at home because I have no fricken clue what exactly to do during labor. The best way to sum it up is this - Britney is the coach and mentor for the brith. This allows us dads to take on the roll of supporter and comforter. I am so thankful that I didn't need to tell my wife that she "needs to push harder!" because Britney was there to do that. I can only imagine how well that would have gone over with me telling her that after hours of pushing. During labor, neither our OB nor our Midwife made it to the delivery room. Without Britney there we would have been going through this entire thing alone, without anyone we knew or had a relationship with. There is no question that our birth was a thousand times better because Britney was our guide. As a dad she also made my experience better because it gave me a unique chance to be involved in a caring way during the labor.

We took her Childbirth and Beyond course alongside having her be our doula for the birth. As first-time parents, Nicole's Childbirth and Beyond course gave us a lot of knowledge to prepare for the birth and caring for our baby. As a doula, Nicole is so calm and supportive. Leading up to the birth, she was informative and gave us lots of insight of our options. We felt informed about all the decisions going into the birth. She was also responsive about all the questions we had, even for late night texts! Going into the birth, we were afraid that we were dilated enough and the hospital would turn us away. Thankfully, she knew better than us and joined us for our birth right on time! Nicole was so calm and reassuring during the birth. Her solid presence was so appreciated during our birth. She also took photos of the birth, which we are so grateful for to be able to look back on for years to come. We HIGHLY recommend Nicole to anyone!!!

I will never forget when she helped me carve time for myself by making me take a bath. In a time when all you can think of is your baby it was really powerful to step back and think of myself for at least 15 minutes. I had a c-section and she made it a point to communicate my alternate birth plan to my team. Without that, we would have never been able to remember to save our placenta. I am truly appreciative of all the gentle care Ashley provided for me. From paint therapy, to yoni steams, to the closing of the bones ceremony. She made such a meaningful time extra special.

Throughout both experiences, Hallie was an incredible source of support and knowledge for me and my husband. From the very beginning, she educated us about every aspect of pregnancy and childbirth, empowering us to make informed choices. Hallie was always by our side, providing unwavering support and encouragement, ensuring that I never gave up even during the most challenging moments. Thanks to her, I had the most amazing birth experiences I could have ever asked for. Beyond the births themselves, Hallie continued to be a pillar of support. She was always available to answer my questions and offer advice, both postpartum and in the years that followed. Her kindness, wisdom, and dedication made her an irreplaceable friend and advisor during one of the most important times of my life. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and caring Doula, I cannot recommend Hallie enough.
