Ugh, we can't say enough great things about Kristin! I had…read morea consultation meet up with her in my first trimester and pretty much immediately stopped looking into any other doulas. Kristin has such a grounding and inviting vibe and energy that felt comforting and supportive right from the start. You know how some providers/professionals will say they're supportive of your choices but you can tell they are actually judging you? Kristin is the complete opposite! She was down for and excited about any decision that I felt was right for me, my baby, and our birth - which didn't just communicate support but also made me feel empowered and centered in my own choices. My fiancé was pretty skeptical about hiring a doula - his family and friends had all had kids and no one had "needed" a doula - but he ended up SO thankful and grateful that Kristin was by our side. He can't stop singing her praises to anyone who will listen! Kristin was/is so knowledgeable and informative. Anytime there was a turn in the road, we immediately looked to her. She would provide some small education and then give her perspective, ultimately reassuring us that we were in control of what decision we ended up making and what felt most right for us and our birth. She stayed by our side the whole time - I truly don't know what we would have done without her! She took some photos, kept track of timelines, and helped make sure baby latched for the first time. Even postpartum she has been such a life saver. We're able to text her our freak out questions and she responds with the same attentiveness and care as she did before and during birth. She also did my placenta encapsulation and supports us with our lactation questions and needs. Can't recommend her enough

From the very beginning, she supported both me and my husband by teaching us birth basics and coping techniques that made us feel prepared and confident. When labor started, Kristin was there every step of the way, staying up through the night texting and calling to calm my nerves and guide me through each stage. She continued that support at the hospital, being by my side from 6am to 10pm until baby was here and healthy. Although my original plan was to have an unmedicated birth, complications arose, and Kristin supported every decision I made without judgment. She advocated for me with the medical team and made me feel safe, heard, and deeply cared for as a first-time mom. I truly can't imagine going through this experience without her, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for genuine, compassionate, and knowledgeable support.

She guided and helped educate my husband and I through our last trimester of pregnancy, was present for the birth of my daughter, and checked in with us during the early postpartum months. She is incredibly caring and patient and is exceptionally communicative; promptly answering our many questions. We are so grateful for Amber's dedication to our birth preferences and her assistance during labor. Her presence and experience was instrumental in the birth of our beautiful rainbow baby. We feel so blessed to have worked with Amber and if we were to welcome another baby, we will definitely contact Amber again! Our heartfelt thanks and appreciation Amber! -Panha, Lucas, and baby girl

From the first point of contact, communication is clear, prompt, and reassuring--something especially important during the postpartum period when emotions and logistics can feel overwhelming. Tree of Life handles each placenta with the utmost respect and care, following safe handling procedures and offering full transparency about their process. I deeply appreciate how thorough they are in sanitation, preparation, and labeling--this attention to detail provides peace of mind to both me and the families I serve. The pickup and delivery process is seamless, and the turnaround time is quick so that you can enjoy the benefits as soon as possible. The capsules themselves are beautifully packaged, along with thoughtful instructions tailored to each individual's healing needs. Parents frequently share that they feel supported, energized, and more emotionally balanced while taking their capsules, and many tell me the experience far exceeded their expectations. What I value most is that Lauren, Triple-Certified Specialist, approaches Placenta Encapsulation as both a scientific and a sacred practice. She holds space for the emotional significance of the placenta while ensuring the highest standards of safety. This combination of warmth and professionalism is rare, and it truly makes a difference! I will continue to refer my clients to Tree of Life with confidence, knowing they will be treated with kindness, respect, and genuine care during one of the most tender transitions of their lives.

At thirty-five weeks pregnant with my firstborn, I knew I wanted a med-free birth in a hospital but…read morewas worried that unnecessary interventions might take place, so we decided to hire a doula for additional labor/hospital birth support. I found Renea online & met with her a few days later in our home. I knew by the end of our meeting that she was who I wanted beside me as I labored and gave birth. On the day I went into labor we were in constant communication via text. Once active labor began she came over to my home (with all of her essential oils!) and worked through the contractions with me. She was a strong supporter for me during this intense time! She came with us to the hospital and was right by my side as I delivered my son. We hired her again for our second-born son's delivery and she was with me, again, during active labor and at the hospital. We also saw her for a postpartum visit after each delivery. It's been 2 years since we first hired her and we are still friends. I text her randomly with a question and she is quick to reply! I've said this before and i'll say it again--i wouldn't want to birth my babies without Renea by my side!

Approximately six years ago, I attended a birth in which a beautiful spirit, Chula Doula,…read morebrightened and heightened the birth experience with her loving mannerisms and charm. I immediately was drawn to her gentle ways of being, moving, and methods of sharing birthing knowledge. Her words embraced my heart and I immediately knew that she was a gifted doula. In time, I discovered that Chula Doula was not an ordinary doula, no; she was a compassionate body and sexual healer, a radical reproductive health educator, a pregnancy masseuse, an herbalist, and an expert birth worker. Since then, I have attended numerous of Chula Doula's workshops on reproductive health. She provides a comfortable and radical space to discuss the reproductive anatomy, self-examination, and sexual pleasure in ways never taught or discussed with me before by gynecologists and others in the health field. Through her teachings, I became visibly acquainted with my internal reproductive system. Who would have known? I now embrace the Power of my vagina. Aside from building a relationship with Chula Doula through her community involvements in creating spaces to explore and discuss reproductive health in which I support 100%, I outreached to her for birthing guidance a few years ago. I was 34 and pregnant at the time with my second child after almost 15 years (son's age). I had no clue to what my birthing options really where or the manner on how to approach these options. I too was clueless on the various healthy prenatal options like vitamins, iron and calcium sources, and other supplements that were available to me which aligned with my philosophical dietary patterns. She welcomed all of my questions via phone, text, email, Facebook, and person-to-person contact. Chula Doula really nurtured my pregnancy, my womb, my body (prenatal massage and body care), my spirit, and my mothering abilities with her positive outlook and expert advice. What made and makes Chula Doula shine and unique is that she too is an artist, which I forgot to mention above. After my birth, like a surgeon, she arrived with an icebox to transport the placenta to her home kitchen where she first created several placental art prints, then separated the amniotic sac and the umbilical cord from the placenta to prepare for encapsulation, tincture medicine, and birthing memorabilia. I was gifted with placental art, postnatal placental pills, rubbing amniotic sac tincture, and a beautiful dried umbilical cord shaped into a heart. From time to time (mostly in moments of despair and/or anxiety), I take these pills and my goodness...magic. Real medicine. I have shared much and tried to broaden my experiences working with Chula Doula and in all honesty, every time we come into contact, this beautiful spirit enlightens me with so much knowledge! Most recently, I learned how intricate the relationship between menstrual blood and land is and how this connection brings us closer to each other through blood extractions and water. I sincerely am humbled and grateful for her friendship and continual support, as I have still so much to learn about my body.

From prenatal care through birth and postpartum, I always felt deeply supported, respected, and empowered. My birth ended up being a beautiful home water birth at 41 weeks 6 days. Labor moved quickly, and their calm presence allowed me to fully trust my body and surrender to the process. They created an environment that felt safe, grounded, and truly sacred. Our son was born partially en caul -- his head still veiled in the amniotic sac -- which was such a rare and awe-inspiring moment. The team handled everything with such skill, reverence, and calm. Watching them work reminded me how powerful and natural birth can be when you are surrounded by experienced, supportive care. They were attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable without being controlling, and truly honored the physiology of birth. After baby arrived, they continued to provide incredible care, making sure both baby and I were doing well and helping our whole family transition into those first precious hours. Choosing LaReina was one of the best decisions we made for our family, and I cannot recommend High Desert Birth Services enough to anyone seeking a safe, respectful, and empowering birth experience. We will always be grateful for the role they played in bringing our son into the world.
