Birth Doula and antenatal hypnobirthing classes - serving parents across the North East
Welcome...
If you’ve landed here, I trust it’s for a reason.
You’re ready to feel deeply supported, gently held, and lovingly witnessed. To feel prepared - not just with information, but with deep inner trust.
Because you’re not looking for someone to tell you how to birth.
You’re looking for someone to walk beside you, as you remember that you already know.
Imagine approaching your birth feeling clear, grounded, and connected... to your body, your baby, and your own wisdom. And when you look back, you’ll know: every decision was yours.
Not chosen for you, but by you.
And that is where the magic lies; the quiet, radiant pride in knowing you wouldn’t change a thing.
You might already have a vision. Or you might just know you want something more; something truer, wilder, more yours.
As a highly experienced North East doula, birth educator, and mother of two, I’ve sat beside women at hospital beds and by firesides. I’ve held space through free births and fear, quiet surrender and roaring power.
Wherever and however you birth, I’ll be there to help you feel steady, seen, and strong. To guide you back to yourself, again and again.
This is your journey home. And you don’t have to walk it alone...

"We hired Jess for the birth of our third baby, and it was hands-down one of the best decisions we made.
From our beautiful, private hypnobirthing sessions at her cosy Northumberland studio - to her calming presence during a stressful hospital admission, and finally at home where our son was birthed gently, surrounded by love...Jess was there through it all.
She supported us, honoured our intuition, and reminded us of our strength every step of the way.
Jess isn’t just a doula. She is warmth and wisdom. She is safety and sovereignty. She helped rewrite my understanding of birth, not as something to endure, but something to treasure.
If you’re wondering whether to bring her into your birth space: do.
She holds it gently and fiercely all at once, and you’ll never forget the way she makes you feel...like the most powerful version of yourself."
Meet your doula ...
Hi, I’m Jessica Ord - award-winning doula, holistic birth educator, hypnobirthing specialist, and founder of Positively Pregnant, based in North East England.
My approach is holistic, woman-centred, and bespoke - weaving together ancient wisdom, modern birth knowledge, and my lived experience in the birth room.
As I head into my 9th year doing this work, and being one of the most sought-after Doulas in the North East, I’m often booked months in advance. Many women reach out in the first trimester - sometimes even before conceiving -because they know the value of having the right support in place.
Over the past 9 years I’ve been honoured to receive awards such as:
✨ Best Antenatal Course – UK
✨ Hypnobirthing Specialist of the Year
✨ Best in Pregnancy Support Services
But the real reward? Walking beside women as they reclaim their power.
I believe birth is more than a physical event... it's a rite of passage. Whether you’re preparing for a home birth, a hospital birth, or exploring free birth, I’ll meet you with grounded support, gentle guidance, and zero judgement.
My offerings include:
-
Hypnobirthing & birth preparation tailored to your values and vision
-
In-person birth doula support across the North East, Northumberland, Tyneside and the Scottish Borders and virtual support across the UK
-
Nurturing, wise woman traditions to support your pregnancy, such as Reiki, pregnancy massage, 3 Step Rewind (birth trauma resolution) and biomechanics to support mind, body, and soul
I’m currently writing my second book; Ancient Wisdom / Modern Birth, where I explore forgotten ways of knowing and how they can guide us through today’s birth landscape.
I know how profound, and how intense pregnancy and birth can be. And I know how essential it is to feel supported, understood and nurtured.
Rooted in the wild landscapes of North East England, I support women near and far, through in-person care and soul-led online offerings.
Emma's story...
"Jess was an absolutely crucial role in our pregnancy and birth.
Our home birth was 3 days long, in the end, and it was an emotional and physical marathon for me. And for her, too…a lot of hip pressing was involved!
But with Jess’ steadfast support and confidence, I never feared the outcome...even when the midwife had gone home for a break. Thank god Jess was there for our accidental free birth. I learned to trust in my decisions, in my body and was able to have the birth I’d always wanted.
Whenever I think back to the birth, I can see Jess there...gently encouraging and supporting us throughout, like some kind of birth angel!"
