If you are looking for a doula in Northumberland or the North East who offers calm, deeply supportive care through pregnancy, birth and early motherhood, you are warmly welcome here.
I’m Jessica Ord, an award winning birth doula, hypnobirthing teacher and holistic pregnancy practitioner based in Northumberland, supporting families across the North East including Morpeth, Newcastle, Tyneside, Gateshead, Berwick and the Scottish Borders.
For almost a decade I have supported women preparing for home birth, physiological hospital birth and occasionally free birth, helping them feel informed, confident and truly supported as they navigate pregnancy and birth on their own terms.
Many of the women who find their way to me are thoughtful, self aware and deeply invested in creating a positive birth experience. They may be planning a home birth in the North East, exploring their options within the NHS system, or looking for private pregnancy support alongside their maternity care.
My approach blends evidence based birth education with holistic support, drawing on:
• Hypnobirthing
• Birth biomechanics and optimal positioning
• Pregnancy and postnatal massage
• Reiki and relaxation techniques
• Practical antenatal education and birth preparation
• Emotional and continuous birth support
This combination allows families to feel both deeply nurtured and practically prepared for the intensity and transformation of birth.
As a North East doula, I also have extensive experience helping clients navigate local maternity services while protecting the kind of birth experience they truly want.
I offer three levels of birth doula support and work with families across Northumberland and the wider North East, including those planning home births in rural areas. Flexible payment plans are available.
If you would like to explore working together, the best next step is to visit my website and book a free discovery call where we can talk about your plans for birth and the kind of support that would feel most helpful.
