Testimonial for Pamela Bethel
We had a great birth experience with Pamela as our Doula. After taking a parenting course with Pamela and getting to know her a bit more through her classes, my husband and I decided that she was a good fit for us. She has an open-minded approach that supported our vision but also provided us with information to make choices. I wanted to have an epidural to manage the pain but also as few medical interventions as possible under this scenario. No pressure to go one way or another, she had open and honest conversations with us which made us feel confident and comfortable with her being a part of our birth. When I went into labor Pamela showed up promptly and stayed with us through the 26-hour labor, helping me and my husband as needed. She also guided my husband to be the best partner he could possibly be during the most stressful moments of labor. One of my favorite things about having Pamela in the delivery room is that she makes sure you understand what our midwives and nurse were doing and help us ask the right questions. She gave us a lot of ideas for keeping calm and dealing with the pressure of contractions and pain. We also really appreciated her sense of humor and calm. We believe that having Pamela on board was one of the primary reasons I was able to have a natural birth and in a calm environment. Pamela visited twice after the birth to check in and offer more support and feedback and she was very helpful with any questions or concerns we had.
We can’t recommend her enough!
