Testimonial for Pam Serna
Pam is an incredible doula. She is knowledgeable, peaceful, caring, thoughtful, patient, and kind.
She was the perfect doula for my unmedicated hospital birth. I was nervous about all the potential interventions that would be pushed on me so I needed someone who would help me achieve this goal.
She did a phenomenal job supporting and encouraging my wishes. When the hospital pushed for one intervention, she was quick to give me research that helped me make my own decision—which happened to be contrary to the hospital policy. Her presence helped me feel confident about the decisions I made, and without her I would have caved into many things and looked back with regret.
Even though the birth didn’t go as I hoped— I was in labor for 3 days and ended up taking the epidural and pitosin, I’m confident that without her I would’ve ended up getting a c section. Instead, I was able to deliver my baby vaginally which was a huge blessing.
She supported me by providing research relevant to the circumstances I faced, teaching my husband and I what exercises we could be doing to help me cope with labor, applying acupressure, and bringing candles and lights to our labor.
On top of all the things that she did for us, Pam is a really nice person to get to know. I’m grateful for her, and she holds a special place in my heart.
She’s probably the best doula in Los Angeles ?? and I’m happy I was able to find a Christian doula.
