Jessica the Doula

Compassionate Birth & Postnatal Support in Devon

Helping you feel informed, calm and deeply supported throughout pregnancy, birth and beyond.

I am a certified, registered birth and postnatal doula, yoga teacher, massage therapist and birth re-imprinting therapist.

Why work with me?

I offer grounded, compassionate support so you can feel informed, held, and confident throughout your journey. Whether you are feeling excited, overwhelmed, unsure, or simply in need of someone to walk alongside you, you will be met with care, respect, and deep listening. I also offer pre and post natal baby moons in our Phoenix barn which has stunning countryside views toward Dartmoor. This space is also available to hire as a home birthing space if you work with me, in which you can stay as long as you need while I take care of you. Please see Nest + Nurture.

I support families who are...

• First-time parents

• Planning a VBAC

• Having a planned home birth

• Having a planned caesarian

• Feeling anxious after a previous birth

• Wanting continuous support throughout pregnancy, labour and beyond

• Needing or wanting post-natal support

• Support throughout motherhood

As a mother of four, I bring both professional knowledge and lived experience to my work. I believe in practising what I teach and am always learning and growing, both personally and professionally. Maintaining a healthy balance in my own life allows me to show up fully for my clients and provide the highest level of support and care.

I offer online where possible and in-person antenatal, birth, and postpartum support, alongside yoga classes, massage, Therapy, workshops, and circles.

For those seeking deep rest, movement, and reconnection, my yoga classes and treatments offer a space to soften, breathe deeply, and come back to yourself meeting a sense of joy or peace within. Melt away from the noise and pressure of everyday life.

If you’re looking for a space where you feel supported, heard and safely held, you are so welcome here.

PREGNANCY BIRTH & POSTPARTUM DOULA SUPPORT

Pregnancy, Birth and the Post natal period are all powerful, sacred, and deeply personal journeys. Whether it’s your first or your fifth experience, whether you need 2 hours or 2 years of support, your needs deserve to be held with care, respect, and presence.

YOGA

Yoga is not about how it looks — it’s about how it feels.
In my classes and offerings, yoga is a space to slow down, reconnect, and come home to yourself — just as you are. Whether you’re moving through grief, trauma, life challenges, pregnancy, postpartum or simply seeking a place to breathe, my approach centre's gentle movement, deep rest, and compassionate presence.

Including pre-natal yoga, active birth and post-natal yoga with babe in arms.

MASSAGE THERAPY

Healing massage therapy offers a gentle sanctuary for body, mind, and spirit.
With an intuitive, nurturing touch, I help you release stored tension and reconnect with your natural rhythm. Each session is a space to soften, unwind, and invite deep rest—restoring balance, opening pathways for energy to flow, and awakening a sense of inner peace and wholeness.

Including pre-natal massage and post-natal massage with babes welcome.

Jessica was my doula/birth support during the home birth of our third son. It was such an amazing experience. There were times when I was anxious or in my head after two previously medicated hospital births. Jess used homeopathy, EFT and massage to help me. She was such a calming, grounding energy and we are so grateful to her for holding space so perfectly. She was very intuitive about what I needed, gave me space when I needed it and held my hand when I needed it as well emotional support for my partner. We felt so nurtured throughout that whole experience, we wouldn’t change a thing and cannot recommend Jessica enough. She is a truly gifted healer.
