"Like most men, I probably had no idea what a doula did. After meeting with Pamela, I learned quite a bit and felt comfortable in having her be a part of our birth experience. I was able to be there for my wife emotionally and Pamela took care of everything else. She supported my wife in a way that I couldn't have. I have no idea how we could have done it without her. She was the true MVP that day. I can't thank her enough. Her experience as a nurse was super helpful. We will hire her again for our next pregnancy!"

"When we had our daughter, upon arriving at the hospital, I was extremely anxious. As soon as Pamela joined us, I immediately felt calm and at ease. She was awesome throughout the entire process! I couldn’t have asked for more. We also hired her as our postpartum doula after our baby was born, which was a lifesaver during these first few weeks of “sleepless” nights!"

I give Pamela from Baby Blessings Doula and Lactation Specialist a 5 out of 5, and if I could give her more, I would. She was a treasured asset during one of the most vulnerable times of my life. Thank you so much Pamela! I will be forever grateful for her services! Money well spent!
