Testimonial for Pamela Bethel
We are very happy that we hired Pamela as our doula. As first time parents with no immediate family in town, it was extremely helpful to have someone to call on for support. Pamela knows the ins and outs of birthing in Victoria, and she is able to share with you the many possible scenarios that can arise. She looks at the family as a whole. She reminds us that the care of the mother is important and that the health and well-being of mom and baby are intertwined. She also offers support to the partner of the mom, which is very important, because they are also going through a life-changing experience. We really appreciated that Pamela never seems to have an agenda or to be pushing her personal beliefs. She discusses different options and situations and then supports whatever choice you make. Most importantly, Pamela ensures that she is available to you during the labour process. We spent 2 nights labouring at home during which we called her numerous times and she offered multiple times to come over to our house during those nights. During labour, she uses her knowledge of birthing strategies to calmly and thoughtfully support mom physically and mentally. Pamela is professional, caring, knowledgeable, and she has a great sense of humour (something that is required for 52 hours of labour!).
