I am Cherish Leemon, owner and founder of Cherish Doulaship. I am a biblically minded Christian, military spouse, and mother to three amazing children. My goal with Cherish Doulaship is to serve others the way Jesus Christ has called us to and to bring knowledge and joy back into the birthing space. After experiencing a traumatic birth with my first child, I began to research traumatic birth prevention and educate myself in the birthing process. I didn’t want to birth in fear again. Little did I know this research would propel me into a passionate career as a birth worker. I finished my Birth and Postpartum Doula certifications in 2017 and have continued education by earning a degree in Woman’s Studies with a major in Diversity Studies. As a certified Doula I offer full spectrum care; ranging from childbirth education, bed rest care, pregnancy and birthing comfort measures, breastfeeding education consults, light house work and meal prep, birth processing, and SO MUCH MORE! It is a privilege for people to be allowed into your birthing space. I would love to help you and your family meet your child birthing goals by providing the support you need through evidence-based information, guidance on informed decision making, and advocate education.

Cherish was my doula for the birth of my third child. She was a calming presence in the delivery room and trusted my instincts and intuition during another speedy labor/delivery. She was such a huge part of the birth and I can't wait to see her help more women in Middle Georgia through prenatal education, birth attendance, and postpartum assistance. She helped my husband and I learn more about navigating an unmedicated birth and assisted us with position changes, non-pharmacological pain relief measures, and helped us achieve the birth we wanted. I cannot recommend her enough, no matter what kind of birth experience you want or need!

SPECTACULAR DOULA! My husband and I chose Cherish as our virtual doula and we already knew we were in the best hands possible. The level of care and education we received from Cherish was incredible. She is so knowledgeable about pregnancy, birth, labor, and postpartum. Any questions we had were immediately answered with an un bias and EVIDENCE BASED approach. She would send me any and everything I could possibly need to help me and my husband rock our birth journey. We also took several classes with Cherish which offered so many great things directly related to the type of birth we were hoping to have. The science behind birth, hormonal symphony, pain management techniques, advocation, and so much more. Despite a 7 hour time difference Cherish was always available to us no matter what we needed. No matter if you choose Cherish as your virtual or in person doula she will be there with you every step of the way, always showing up with support and an abundance of knowledge. We can’t thank her enough for everything she has done for our growing family.
