Jennifer Surerus

Social Worker, Educator, and Holistic Practitioner

I’m a compassionate and experienced care worker with a Master of Social Work from York University. For nearly two decades, I’ve been dedicated to supporting individuals with disabilities and their families, offering personalized care and advocacy to help them navigate their unique journeys.

I share my expertise as a part-time instructor in the Doula Studies program at Fanshawe College. My background is diverse: I’ve spent over twenty years teaching yoga, practicing energy work, and more than a decade working as a doula. These experiences have shaped my approach to care, allowing me to support people through transitional times while fostering connections between mind, body, and spirit.

My practice specializes in disability-related issues, the experiences of care workers and caregivers, and life transitions. I use Narrative Therapy, which is rooted in Feminist, Anti-Oppressive, and Harm-Reduction frameworks. This approach creates an inclusive and supportive space for all. I welcome individuals from all backgrounds, including 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, people from the global majority, fat people, and disabled people.

Whether you’re looking for single-session, short-term, long-term, or solution-focused counselling, I tailor my approach to meet your specific needs. My services are available virtually, and starting in February 2025, I will also be offering in-person sessions in St. Thomas, Ontario.

I'd love to connect if you’re seeking support in a space that honors your experiences and empowers you on your path.

Doula, Childbirth Educator 

I grew up in a military family, moving often and learning the value of community. My passion for birth work began during my own pregnancy, leading me to become a doula and childbirth educator. For over 13 years, I have practiced as a doula, offering 2SLGBTQIA+-friendly, full-spectrum, and non-judgmental care. Throughout my career, I have worked in the community in various capacities, supporting individuals and families through their reproductive journeys.

I am an instructor in the Fanshawe Doula Studies program and am currently pursuing my Master of Social Work (MSW) at Wilfrid Laurier University. I believe in lifelong learning and am dedicated to providing compassionate, inclusive, and client-centered care. Based in London, Ontario, I serve London, Stratford, and St. Thomas areas.
