I cannot say enough good things about Pam! From beginning to end she has been a such a great support and resource. Always providing me very pertinent information, always available to talk through my worries or concerns, and supportive of my birth plan. I had a very difficult 4 day labor and I would not have made it through without her guidance, support and dedication. Her gentle, calming energy eased a very painful back labor. Somehow she found time to take some amazing photos I will always cherish and take notes of my labor all the while giving counter pressure through my contractions. If you really want a doula who meets all your needs : physical, emotional, and spiritual from pregnancy to post partum I highly recommend Pam.

Pam truly made my birthing experience extraordinary!
From the beginning she was a wealth of knowledge and support.
I was able to be in my zone during labor as she provided guidance, comfort measures, and encouragement.
She went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I felt safe, respected and empowered as labor took some unexpected turns.
Can't say enough great things about her!

Pam was such a valuable asset to have at my birth. We wanted to have support for both myself and my husband throughout the process and Pam was able to help us feel informed and confident going into labor and helped me feel comfortable during labor while also helping my husband to support and comfort me. Her calm, comforting, and encouraging manner reminded me to stay focused and grounded throughout my home birth.
She provided info and resources prenatally that helped me prepare my body for birth as well as breastfeeding resources, mindfulness practices, and even brought me food postpartum!
My favorite service she provided was capturing moments of labor, delivery, and right after; via video, photos, and notes to help me remember quotes and beautiful moments from the process that I can look back on and share.
We were on the fence about hiring a doula but when we had a consultation with Pam, we instantly felt a connection and knew she would be an invaluable resource. I am SO thankful we decided to have her present, I can't imagine what the process would have been like without her by our side.

I am SO thankful that God guided us to Pam! I started looking for a doula in my first trimester, when I began considering an unmedicated hospital birth. I was overwhelmed with trying to find the right doula who served our area while dealing with terrible nausea. But when I saw Pam's website, I knew she was the one! As a Christian, having a faith-filled, God-centered birth was very important to me. And Pam definitely brought that (and more) to the table.
At around 20 weeks pregnant, I was told I had a complete placenta previa. My dreams of an unmedicated and uncomplicated birth were shattered. But Pam was so encouraging and helped me to stay positive. She even prayed with me over the phone before my follow-up ultrasound. I'm thankful that we started working with Pam earlier in my pregnancy, because she was so helpful throughout it all. She always made herself available for a phone call or any questions I had. She also has so much knowledge and gave me many resources such as books to borrow, websites, and even recommendations for childbirth classes.
Now for the birth! Thankfully, my placenta previa resolved, so I planned for an unmedicated hospital birth. Pam met us at the hospital, and her presence was so calming and comforting. She made sure to communicate my wishes to hospital staff and even took precious pictures throughout labor and delivery. After birth, she busted out some delicious home made soup that was much needed.
Anyway, I'm just blabbing now. But I would 100% recommend Pam!! Her calm presence and wealth of knowledge and resources made my pregnancy and delivery cherished memories. Thank you, Pam!!

Pam is an exceptional doula who worked with me by my side throughout every contraction during our planned home birth, coaching me as I worked through natural birth as a first-time mom with no epidural. When our little one decided to make an early entrance, Pam's presence in the room to help guide the delivery was absolutely essential. Her extensive knowledge of birth and the birthing journey, as well as her calm presence, were invaluable during such a pivotal moment.
While we initially hesitated on having a doula since we had taken a Bradley Method course, we are ultimately very happy that we made the decision to have a 'birth expert' in the room with us. Her warmth, expertise, and willingness to jump in on every small task made all the difference in creating a safe and comfortable environment. We can highly recommend Pam's services as a doula and feel fortunate that she was available and in our area for the birth of our son.

Pam has been a beautiful addition as we grow our family! From the moment we connected, she has been responsive, accommodating and kind. We began our journey new to the area, transferring care from out of state, and the insurance confusion on my end was enough to drive me crazy, and Pam stepped in to manage the coverage on her end, which we know is a lot. Our first Prenatal appointment was getting to know one another and some initial info, and her calm tone, steady and thoughtful answers and overall demeanor made her a great fit for us. We had 3 total appointments (with great suggestions for reading, exercises and mental prep) before she joined us at the hospital for a long, overnight labor and birth.
Being our first child, we were in uncharted territory and Pam was a perfect compliment. She brought a light machine that created the most perfect ambience from the start. During the long labor, Pam consistently shared insight and background to options given by nurses and offered valuable suggestions - from new positions to helping bring down my fever without intervention. She eloquently conversed with nurses to clarify and provide welcomed suggestions that worked. I remember her beautiful voice encouraging my natural noises, her suggestions for my partner to take breaks (and she stepped in) and gently pulling my hair back when it came undone. I could look in her eyes and see a steadfast partner who had my back and knew I could push through the tough times.
I would absolutely work with Pam again, and highly suggest her to anyone looking for calm, open yet knowledgable partner in the process. She aligned with our low-intervention approach, yet I feel her openness to supporting any desired approach without judgement. She comes with confidence and is willing to voice when she doesn't have an answer or believes it's a personal choice. We are looking forward to Postpartum support.
