Hello, my name is Pamela. My practice Baby Blessings Doula & Lactation Specialist is located in Santa Barbara, CA. I am a pediatric nurse for 30+ years and a DONA trained Birth/Postpartum Doula. I am also a certified Lactation Specialist. I have attended over 150 childbirths and supported many families during their 4th trimester and beyond. I have 4 amazing children and 2 grand babies with a 3rd on the way. It is my personal calling to empower women to tap into their own strength during this transformational and sacred turning-point in their lives. I take great pride in holding space for my mamas and their families in a way that makes them feel safe and secure. I am deeply passionate about caring for others. My sincere desire is to provide unwavering support to mothers and babies, siblings and their partners during the postpartum period.

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! Angelina S.
