AVAILABILITY UPDATE JULY 2025
My availability for Fall/Winter 2025 is on hold, but reach out if you'd like some recommendations. 

​Here's the big secret...

​We're not meant to do this baby thing alone.

We don't need mountains of stuff and gadgets.
We need confidence, we need encouragement, we need community.

We don't need judgmental "advice" and unsolicited horror stories.
We need empathetic suggestions, we need practical help while we navigate into our new bodies, roles, identities. We need space to find our way.

I'm Pamela Bethel, a Victoria-based birth & postpartum doula.  I'm also a childbirth and lactation educator. I'm here to ease your transition into the brave new world of parenting. 

Welcome to this remarkable season of your life!

Her knowledge, compassion, calm energy and kind spirit held space for our family.

​Pamela has a casual yet clear presence and a great sense of humour.

It was a tremendous help, as the father-to-be, to have Pamela to call.
