At Mother's Rest Postpartum Doula our mission is to care for local Gainesville (and surrounding areas) families through our postpartum doula services. We support mothers by holding space for mom. Our goal is to protect your peace no matter what stage you're in during early postpartum. We establish this through gentle mother care, compassionate listening, newborn care, lactation resources, and restful routines that ease the fourth trimester. Our moms are seen, loved, and renewed. Our approach blends sisterhood compassion, encouragement, and evidence based support so parents can recover, bond with their baby, and thrive in early parenthood. We also connect families to trusted community and healthcare partners to create a strong circle of care.
Hi, I'm Jerushah, your neighborhood postpartum doula and founder of Mother’s Rest. I believe every mother deserves to be cared for as tenderly as the baby she’s nurturing. My work is about helping families slow down, find rhythm, and rediscover rest in the sacred weeks after birth. I’ve sat beside many mothers in the quiet hours holding space for tears, laughter, and everything in between. What I’ve learned is simple: genuine rest restores more than the body. It restores confidence, calm, and connection! I offer gentle postpartum support and restful care designed to meet each family where they are by blending evidence-based care with heart-centered presence. If you’re longing for calm, nourishment, or simply someone to remind you that you are doing beautifully, well, you are in the right place! Welcome!
