About me

Hey hey! It's Jerusha here:) I am a birth and postpartum doula located in Tillsonburg, Ontario. I'm so passionate in playing a role in restoring pregnancy + birth to be a sovereign and peaceful journey. There is so much fear in society surrounding birth and I believe that through thorough education and lots of support, that can change! Mother lead, honourable, and sacred is how I dream of all births to be. I love to serve and create safe and meaningful relationships with my clients. Can't wait to connect with you!

Service introduction

With my care, you have multiple visits throughout your pregnancy to ask questions, discuss your birth plans, talk about what your goals are, and to connect and build a safe relationship with me as your doula. I have loads of resources to share as well, and want nothing more than to see you fully prepared, ready, and anticipating the arrival of your little one! I'll be at your side through your labour and delivery where I will support you physically, emotionally, and mentally, as well as supporting your partner (if applicable). Postpartum care will be provided, including household support, breastfeeding guidance, and yummy nourishment!

I am so pleased for the incredible doula services Jerusha provided during my pregnancy and birth. She was open, flexible and supportive throughout my prenatal care, truly listening to my needs and preferences. During my birth, she came fully prepared with lots of supplies and techniques that made a real difference in managing my pain and helping me stay focused. Her cool, calm and collected presence brought peace to the room when it mattered most. She also supported my husband helping us feel confident and cared for as a team. Her postnatal support was so incredibly practical and helpful. I had a previous traumatic c-section birth and was determined to have a different experience. This time, I was able to have a VBAC home birth and I feel Jerusha really contributed to my redemptive birth experience. I’m just so grateful for to have someone who was not only skilled but also encouraging, empathetic and faith-filled in such a sacred moment.

Jerusha was an incredible support to me and my husband during a long and arduous 30+ hour labour. She supported me physically, mentally and emotionally. She was a calm and steady presence who ensured my nervous system was regulated and that I was advocated for as labour progressed (hospital setting). Her support was invaluable to my husband and I and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is very committed to your safety, comfort and well being and I would hire Jerusha without hesitation on any future pregnancies. She has a gift.

Having Jerusha at my birth was the best thing ever. She was kind gentle and so understanding! She was an excellent support when hubby needed so rest. She was so knowledgeable about physiological birth and we loved having her there.

Jerusha was a phenomenal help! She helped me focus on my breathing and helped the baby down. She also used some essential oils which helped to relax me. I loved having her calm, reassuring presence to talk me through things! If you are considering a doula, I would 100% recommend having Jerusha by your side!
