My Reviews
Reina is an amazing Doula! Being a first time mom I was anxious about birthing and wanted to give birth in a center. Thankfully even with the current pandemic, Reina was able to meet us for an initial visit and be available when needed. When it finally came down to my birth Reina helped us through a difficult labor and we were so thankful to have her expertise, grace and kindness. She was instrumental in our successful labor and couldn't think of anyone more perfect to support us! Thank you Reina! -Newara 09/08/2020
I reached out to Reina as one of the doulas I was interviewing. We first chatted over the and also met in person. After our chat over the phone I immediately knew I wanted her by my side. She's knowledgeable, experienced, professional, and most importantly supportive. Reina was responsive before and after my pregnancy. She also capsulated my placenta. She's a wonderful human being. We loved her so much that we had her do the honor of cutting our little ones umbilical cord. Thank you, Reina for all your endless support and being so well informed.- Thania 09/03/2020
This review is long over due...
We met Reina a few weeks before our baby boy was born. We immediately loved her. We texted her the night before when the contractions hit and she arrived a few hours after. Reina was SO supportive. We tried doing a home birth and she stayed by my side the entire time. I don't remember much but I remember opening my eyes and seeing her by my side all the time. She fed me, massaged me, and played a great playlist to keep me calm. She was absolutely amazing and incredibly supportive. We eventually made the decision to go to the hospital and Reina stayed with us the entire time. About 24 hours+ and Reina was there encouraging me and supporting me. Birth was a crazy experience for me but having Reina by our side made it so much better. If you are considering a doula she is the ONE! She's extremely knowledgeable about birth, super supportive, so kind and just amazing. If we decide to have another baby Reina will definitely be our doula again. We love you Reina! Thank you for EVERYTHING. -Ana 09/02/2020
I would highly recommend 360 Birth Svcs ! The service provided was fast, efficient as well as very professional! They were able to encapsulate my placenta, preserve my umbilical cord and return it to me beautifully boxed and wrapped in under 48hrs even after a short notice! I could not have asked for better results. Thank you so much!!! - Chaz 09/02/2020
I want to thank Reina for her amazing work on encapsulating my placenta for our baby Phoenix! I gave birth on May 4 and she promptly delivered the placenta pills and tincture the next day May 5! With May I add the cutest umbilical cord keep sake! This was a new thing for me, this is my third baby and I felt like the placenta pills really helped me on balancing my postpartum hormones. I didn't feel too moody afterwards like I did with my other 2 births, I also feel like I slept better. I don't know if the placenta pills help with sleep but I definitely did not feel restlessness. I'm six weeks postpartum now and almost done with my jar and I would do it again if we had another baby, too bad this is our last baby! Thanks Reina Amazing work!- Sandra 06/16/2020
Reina was so kind and accommodating to us when our schedule wouldn't allow us to make her regularly scheduled class. She was so knowledgeable and really put my mind at ease before my birth. All of the questions and concerns I had prior to delivering my daughter were answered.
Not to mention, she's just a genuinely good and bright person, you feel comfortable and at in good hands with her.- Adam & Kizzie 06/07/2020
My partner and I worked with Reina (360 birth services) as our Doula for our home birth. My partner has a lot of fear and anxiety around medical settings, but was also not completely set on doing a home birth. It was our first child, and she knew she wanted a birth support team that regardless of how the birth happened, they would be there to provide compassion and support. Ultimately, she became committed to a home birth.
hroughout the entire pregnancy (even before COVID - which arrived in the third trimester) Reina was an amazing source of support, knowledge, and kindness. During our meetings she would provide guidance, answer our endless questions, and always made us feel cared for and supported, never like we had to rush through a meeting or that she had other places she needed to be. Reina also provided excellent breast feeding support and information both before the pregnancy and after delivery, which was a huge help. And we employed her services for placenta encapsulation, which worked out great. As the birth partner, Reina also provided an enormous amount of help for me. She provided resources for me, answered my questions, and made sure I was fully ready to take on the birth partner role.
But probably most important was Reina's support during the actual birth process. We asked Reina to come as the contractions were starting to get more intense than our coping strategies could handle. As soon as she arrived she provided support, compassion, care, and helped us move through the birthing process successfully. She set up the tub, and communicated with our midwife as things progressed, and took care of a million little details so that everything ran smoothly. She also made sure that I took breaks, got food, and was taking care of myself as well so that I was ready to be fully supportive during the delivery. Once our midwife joined us, the two of them worked together to make sure our little one's entry into the world was surrounded by love and compassion.
We also highly recommend taking her child birth education class, which helped us go into the birthing process with a lot more confidence and understanding.
In short - Reina is absolutely wonderful and we're so glad that we were able to work with her and rely on her services as our doula. Thank you Reina!!- Michael & Pamela 05/05/2020
I highly recommend 360! I first learned of them from a friend who not only had her placenta encapsulated but also made into a tincture by 360. I've never heard of having a tincture made from your placenta. My friend loved her capsules and tincture and I especially love tinctures so i had to try it.
Communication and signing the contract was really easy. She was super quick with the turn around.
I had a wonderful and beautiful birth but I lost a lot of fluids during labor and birth. My baby was 9 pounds 5 oz and I'm a very little woman. Immediately once I began taking my placenta capsules I noticed a huge shift in energy levels. I felt very weak prior to taking the capsules.
I highly recommend this company! Very professional! Great quality And you can tell it's made with pure intentions of healing and love! - Tiombe 05/04/2020
Reina is amazing. My wife is a nurse and a first time mom. When she got pregnant it was a whole new world for both of us. She originally had an alternate Doula but when she had to terminate our contract Reina stepped in and stepped up! Without batting an eye. She is kind, loving, generous of her knowledge and time and SO supportive of my wife first and foremost but me as well. Should you choose to hire a Doula she is the best...you, your family and you precious little one will be forever better with Reina ~ David 11/26/19
We had a great experience with having Reina as our doula. She was frequently checking on me and offering me tips and tools to help me have a stress free labor and delivery at home. She was here right when we needed her, even though it felt like maybe it was too early to call her. We were so at ease with her presence our labor. Even if we weren't sure what we needed, she would help us find out what it was! Thank you for everything Reina. We are lucky we found you so late in our pregnancy !~ Jaime 11/24/19
Reina was a wonderful doula, she was supportive, knowledgeable, patient, professional and kind. She was my doula for my first pregnancy with my son, Mason and she was my doula for my second pregnancy with twins, Mila and Miles.
She was responsive, even in the middle of the night, and she was our advocate in the hospital and helped explain the procedures to us in ways that were easy to understand during both stressful times. She was an excellent support for us and extremely valuable.
At first, we did not consider a doula, but looking back, I am so glad that we decided that Reina would be part of our birth plan for both pregnancies. I highly recommend Reina because she's very knowledgeable in what she does and is a great support to have during the most important thing a women has to go through.~ Yadi 02/11/2019
What an amazing person/business! I had the privilege of experiencing Reina at my partner and I's first birth and was blown away by the compatibility she created between herself and my new family. She has an excellent knowledge regarding all things birthing to go along with her incredibly awesome bedside manner. She encapsulated my partner's placenta and we couldn't have been happier. She answered all of our questions regarding the encapsulation to help us better understand the process and made us feel more than comfortable with what she would be doing.
If you are in the LB/South Bay area and are interested in learning more about placenta encapsulation or lactating THIS is the person you want to request!! My partner and I have already decided we would be using her services again for our next birth. ~ Sascha 04/20/2019
Reina was my doula for both of my pregnancies. I hired her due to my FEAR of labor for my first baby, she was very supportive and informative about all my questions, she guided my husband to help me as well. I would say she was there for us for the whole process before, during, and after (breastfeeding, colickybaby, etc). Thanks to her, I was able to enjoy the most wonderful experience of becoming a mom. Automatically for my second pregnancy, I booked right away. She would be right by her phone at any time for any question, and of course, she was with me the entire time at the hospital for which I will be grateful forever. I should add that she is very respectful with all the medical staff and she makes sure we understood everything going on at the hospital. ~Yosabeth 03/17/2019
