Pam was an absolutely incredible doula and we truly could not have gotten through our 21-hour unmedicated labor without her. From the very beginning, she was calm, knowledgeable, and completely supportive. Labor is such an intense and vulnerable experience, and Pam had an amazing ability to keep us grounded and confident through every stage.

During the long hours of labor, she constantly offered helpful techniques for breathing, positioning, and pain management that made a huge difference. She knew exactly when to step in with encouragement, when to suggest a new position, and when to simply provide steady reassurance. Her presence brought such a sense of peace and confidence into the room.

What stood out most was how committed she was to making sure we felt supported and empowered in our birth experience. She advocated for us when needed, worked seamlessly with the medical team, and made sure we stayed focused on our goal of an unmedicated birth.

After 21 hours of labor, welcoming our baby into the world was the most incredible moment, and we truly believe Pam played a huge role in making that possible. Her strength, compassion, and expertise made all the difference.

We are beyond grateful for her support and would recommend Pam to any family looking for a doula who is experienced, caring, and completely dedicated to helping you have the best birth experience possible.

I'm so grateful for my experience with Ms. Pam. I've always wanted to have a natural birth, but when I got pregnant, I felt completely lost until I found my Birth Helper. Ms. Pam was more like a mother than a Birth Helper. She has a wealth of knowledge, and there wasn't a question that she couldn't answer. My birth didn't go 100% as planned because I lived a far distance from the hospital I wanted to give birth at. I ended up being dropped off at a hospital that I was unfamiliar with, I was completely alone and that's when Miss Pam text me and told me that she was already on the way and she would be with me soon. To say, I was relieved is an understatement, and when she walked in the room I was right about to give in and get an epidural. Miss Pam gave me the encouragement I needed to put in some work and get my baby out naturally. She helped me understand that what I was feeling was actually a good thing and I meant my baby would Almost be with me. Without her my birth would've been completely different and not what I wanted. I would recommend her to any and every expected mama, for me she was truly a lifesaver.

Pam is truly exceptional. We attended her home birth classes, and they prepared us thoroughly and confidently for every aspect of the experience. She ensured we felt informed and ready for any scenario that might arise. The classes were conducted in a professional yet relaxed setting, and she has a remarkable ability to make everyone feel welcome and at ease.

When we went into labor, we were so grateful to have Pam as our doula. She arrived immediately, calmly coaching my wife through each moment while somehow keeping me grounded as well. When our midwife was unexpectedly delayed, Pam stepped in seamlessly and handled the situation with confidence and expertise. I honestly cannot imagine navigating that moment without her steady presence.

She even guided me as I caught our precious baby girl — a moment I will cherish forever. In the days that followed, Pam continued to check on us daily, offering support with breastfeeding, ensuring a proper latch, and patiently answering every question we had.

Pam was not just a support person; she was a true blessing to our family. Involving her in our home birth journey was one of the most meaningful investments we have ever made. She has earned a permanent place in our hearts, and I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone considering a home birth.

I may be biased since Pam is my mother, but one thing I can say for sure (and I am sure others would agree) is she is the most supportive and encouraging woman I have ever known. Throughout my entire pregnancy she encouraged me to meet my nutrition goals, exercise, rest, and focus on preparing for a drug free delivery. The child birth classes exceeded my expectations by providing me with the knowledge I needed to make informed decisions and I gained insight into the birth process. Unfortunately, as life tends to do, I was thrown a curve ball and had to decide to proceed with a c-section. Pam reminded me of all the options and helped by reminding me that even with preparation we have to change plans. It was certainly not for a lack of trying to get my sweet B out with Pam's assistance.

Pam was truly invaluable to my entire birth experience. From pregnancy through delivery, she went above and beyond in every possible way. During my pregnancy, she consistently checked in on me, encouraged me, grounded me in faith, and poured positive, empowering truth into me. She helped me prepare not just physically, but mentally and spiritually.

When it came time for my hospital birth, I was navigating preeclampsia while still hoping for an all-natural delivery. Pam was absolutely instrumental in helping me achieve that. She kept me moving through all different laboring positions, intuitively knowing exactly how to help my body progress. Her guidance was steady, confident, and so knowledgeable.

Throughout labor, she was my biggest hype woman — constantly reminding me of my strength, capability, and resilience. When contractions intensified and doubt tried to creep in, she grounded me, refocused me, and helped me stay present. She created a sense of calm and empowerment in a situation that could have easily felt overwhelming.

Because of Pam, I felt supported, advocated for, and truly empowered — even in the face of complications. She wasn’t just present; she was essential. I can say with complete confidence that my positive birth story would not have been the same without her.

If you are considering working with Pam, know that you will have someone deeply committed, faith-filled, knowledgeable, and wholeheartedly invested in your experience by your side. I am forever grateful for her.

For anyone searching for a doula to educate you on childbirth and support you during pregnancy/birth, I HIGHLY suggest Mrs.Pam with YourBirthHelper!! I found out I was pregnant and quickly realized I didn't really know anything about birth, so I searched for a doula. After talking to 2-3 in my area, I found Pam and instantly knew she was the one I wanted to be my doula. Best. Decision. Ever. My partner and I took her childbirth classes where we learned so much about the birth process as well as how to support your body during pregnancy. Unfortunately due to complications with BP and an abnormally shaped uterus, I had to let go of my natural birth plan to have a C section. Even if I knew the outcome in the beginning, I still would have wanted Pam as my doula. She was so supportive throughout my pregnancy, answering every call/text, helping me learn to ask questions and advocate my wishes/concerns, going on walks at the local park, she even helped me with breastfeeding, and continued to check in with me after birth! She seriously goes above and beyond for her clients and I couldnt be more thankful for her! If I ever have another baby, she will be my first call.

Ms. Pam Sauls is a wealth of knowledge!  After two epidural births she helped me achieve my goal of natural, low intervention birth at St. Mary's hospital!  Highly recommend having her support during labor and postpartum!

Review Part 2 of 2

Having said that, from initial induction to the birth of my son, the experience lasted about 34 hours. We knew the 1st day would be a long one so Pam was available to assist over the phone anytime we had questions. Even though she was not physically there, she was so supportive and helped to keep us calm even when we received some disturbing news. At one point, the nurse and midwife mentioned C-Section, but Pam was able to help us navigate this situation with confidence.

Nick and I were so happy when Pam and Nikki arrived, bright and early, the following morning. Unfortunately, we received some more upsetting news. Our ultimate goal was to have a low intervention birth without pain medication however because I wasn’t progressing at the expected rate, they would have to administer Petocin. I was pretty upset, but Pam and Nikki were able to put my mind at ease. As the day progressed Pam and Nikki helped me to manage pain with some amazing natural methods, got to love that peanut ball and head scratcher!! Their assistance also helped Nick and I to stay in a positive headspace which likely helped more than we realized. Believe it or not, they actually made the process pretty fun and enjoyable.

As expected, the last contractions were very difficult for us. I truly believe it would have been much more painful and potentially traumatizing had it not been for Pam and Nikki’s care, encouragement, support and guidance. Nick and I definitely agree that hiring Pam and Nikki was one of the best decisions we could have made. We will definitely be using them again and we highly recommend them to anyone that is looking to have the best “birth” day experience possible. We are eternally grateful to both and proud to be part of their #BirthFamily!!

Review Part 1 of 2

I’m so thankful that my friend Amanda & her husband Aaron convinced Nick and I to find a doula for our son’s “birth” day. I was elated when I discovered that Amanda’s doula, Pamela Sauls, would be able to assist us personally. Even from our first conversation, before we decided to proceed, Pam was extremely helpful. She was able to give a me a much more realistic idea of what to expect and what myself and my husband needed to do to prepare.

Since I reached out to Pam less than 6 weeks before my due date, Nick and I were not able to attend a full 12 Week Bradley Course. For this reason, she offered a variety of options to fit our busy schedules. Ultimately, we met with she and Nikki Reeves for a Private Workshop. Even before the workshop, Pam spent hours going over and critiquing my birth plan. She was able to teach me so many things I wasn’t aware of in regards to various methods used for induction, monitoring, pain management, etc. My husband and I were so excited to meet Pam and Nikki for our workshop. Although we had already taken another Hospital based birth class several months prior, we really felt like we took away so much more from these few hours and had fun in the process. We practiced several positions and went through several scenarios that we would ultimately use during labor. Additionally, Nick felt so much for more informed and at ease with the process and was able to get a good grasp of what was required from him to be a supportive coach.

Because I was induced at 37 weeks, we expected the process to be a long one. In the days leading up to induction, Pam spoke with us again as a refresher and gave me lots of tips on how to ripen my cervix. I was so thankful she did because I wasn’t starting from scratch, in fact I was actually 1cm dilated in my 1st internal exam.
