Durham & Kawartha Lakes Doulas
Poomeja - Birth & Postpartum Doula
-
Poomeja’s journey into doula work grew from a lifelong dream of becoming a midwife and a deep desire to walk alongside people through one of the most transformative times in their lives. She has always felt called to support others during pregnancy and birth, and becoming a doula has been one of the most meaningful decisions she’s ever made.
She believes that having a strong support system during pregnancy and postpartum is essential, and she feels truly honoured to be part of that circle of care—offering emotional support, encouragement, and reassurance every step of the way.
Currently completing her bachelor’s degree in Human Health Science, Poomeja brings a thoughtful, grounded perspective to her work. Outside of her studies and doula practice, she finds balance through reading, yoga, meditation, and knitting—all practices that help her stay present and connected. She also loves making and painting pottery, a creative outlet that reflects her nurturing and hands-on approach.
A self-described social butterfly, Poomeja thrives on building meaningful relationships and creating a warm, welcoming space for everyone she supports. Her friendly, open nature and genuine love for people make her a comforting and joyful presence during pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
Sherry - Birth & Postpartum Doula
-
Hi, I’m Sherry — a birth and postpartum doula based in Seagrave, ON, supporting families throughout Durham Region, Kawartha Lakes, and the GTA.
After more than 20 years managing complex projects in the fast-paced world of IT, I felt called back to where my heart has always been: birth work. My journey as a doula began over two decades ago, and returning to this work has been like coming home. I offer compassionate, knowledgeable, and wholehearted support to families from pregnancy through postpartum and beyond.
As a mother of five, I deeply understand the joys and challenges of growing a family. That lived experience shapes the care I provide — grounded, nurturing, and practical. I’m especially passionate about supporting young families as they step into parenthood, helping them build confidence, find balance, and care for themselves and their babies with ease.
My approach is calm, confident, and culturally sensitive, meeting families exactly where they are and walking alongside them through one of life’s most transformative seasons. Whether it’s your first baby or your fifth, I’m here to ensure you feel supported, informed, and empowered every step of the way.
When I’m not supporting families, you’ll likely find me spending time with my lively family and dogs, hiking in nature, or recharging by the water — my favourite places to be.

Hi, I'm Tessa!
I'm a mom of two who believes that life's biggest transitions aren't meant to be navigated alone. Pregnancy and birth can be incredibly transformative experiences, and you deserve to feel heard, respected, informed, and genuinely supported throughout yours.
My own experience having a doula at the birth of my second child completely changed the way I experienced birth. Having someone there who made me feel supported and cared for had such an impact on me that it inspired me to become that person for other families.
I bring a warm, inclusive, and non-judgmental approach to birth support, creating a space where you can ask questions, explore your options, and feel confident using your voice. Your birth belongs to you, and my role is to walk alongside you as you make the choices that feel right for you and your family.
Whether your birth unfolds exactly as you imagined or takes an unexpected turn, I'll be there to offer reassurance, encouragement, practical support, and a steady presence through it all.
It would be an honour to be part of your journey and to help you feel supported as you welcome your baby into the world.
