"Hello everyone, Pam Sutton here! With over 25 years of experience supporting mothers and babies, I'm deeply passionate about my work. Currently certified as a Birth and Postpartum Doula and a Lactation Specialist, my journey began in 1998 in California following the birth of my second daughter. Inspired by the incredible support I received, which contrasted starkly with my first birth experience, I embarked on doula training to ensure other women could also benefit from such care.
In addition to my doula certifications, I spent over two decades as a chiropractic assistant, gaining valuable insights into health and wellness. I recertified my doula training in Texas, focusing initially on birth clients and later shifting to postpartum support, driven by the urgent need I observed during the "4th trimester."
Recognizing the critical need for breastfeeding support, I became certified as a Lactation Specialist. Understanding firsthand the obstacles new mothers encounter, I am committed to ensuring they receive the education and assistance crucial for a successful breastfeeding journey. Currently pursuing further certification as a Lactation Consultant under Melanie Kondrat of Dragonfly Lactation, I am eager to expand my ability to mentor and support mothers and babies during their postpartum period.
Beyond my professional life, my husband and I are proud parents to four wonderful adult children, a son-in-law, and two adorable grandchildren with another on the way. After a year of traveling the country in our RV, we settled in Knoxville, Tennessee, where we're embracing homesteading and thriving in our new community."
