"Jess is a very friendly , warm hearted person who clearly wished the best for my journey into becoming a mummy of two and for baby to have a peaceful entry into the world. She provided us with so much knowledge bout any topic I needed and was a wealth of information!


I think one of the nicest things about Jess is that she does not judge or question your decisions (other than to make it is truly what you want and not a pressurised decision) she just supports , holds space and provides information so you can make the right decisions for you"

Doula 'by the hour'

Are you looking for a holistic birth professional to support you during your pregnancy, but don't need full birth preparation or birth support

No problem! With my bespoke 'tailored to you' power hours, you can create a support package to suit your needs, and to focus on what you most need support with. 

My 'power hours' are held either from my antenatal studio, here at our family farm in Northumberland (NE66), or we can work together from the comfort of your home online over video call if you're further afield. 

 

You have the option to choose from the following areas of expertise and support (plus so many more, it's almost impossible to list them all - just get in touch to discuss what you most need help with).

 

If you have a few different aspects of your pregnancy and birth journey that you'd like support with, don't worry - we can have a chat ahead of booking & I can help you figure out how much time we'll need. 

  • Birth de-briefing & 3 step rewind trauma resolution (A gentle process designed to help shift unwanted feelings around pregnancy, birth & conception). The 3 step rewind process is carried out over 3x 1 hour sessions. 

  • Help navigating 'the system'; been told 'no' to a home birth? Being denied access to the birth centre? Feel your choices are being limited in some way & need help, support and signposting to evidence and confidence to ensure YOU feel in control? Get in touch, I'm here for you. 

  • Support in exploring all of your options for a particular 'problem' or something unexpected that has cropped up on your pregnancy journey. Trust me, it's rare that there is only one option available for you. (I'm highly experienced in supporting women who've navigated: High BMI, IVF conception, Low PAPP A, 'advanced maternal age', big babies, late babies, previous PPH & lots more)

  • Exploring home/ free birth - what you'll need, support in preparing emotionally and spiritually - anything home/free birth you can think of, I'm there! 

  • Chats with (you and) your birth partner; often it can be really tricky to communicate feelings/ thoughts and opinions with those we love, especially when it comes to something as emotive as birth. I can support you both to come to a place where there is mutual understanding and trust - after all - the most important thing for you is that you feel supported and protected during birth. 

  • Biomechanics for birth- a crucial element missed on most birth preparation courses (although, of course, not the PP course!) Let me pass on my wisdom around specialised movements, practices and stretches to help align, tone and relax the muscles and ligaments around the pelvis. These movements and preparations have been shown to make birth safer, easier, less painful and less likely to end in complications. I'll also be showing you 'troubleshooting' movements for common problems in labour (slow labour, pain, sub optimal positioned babies) 

 

Pricing is £65 per hour on a private basis 

Alternatively my FULL birth preparation course on either a private basis or as part of a small group may be a great option for you (Priced at £267 - £687 per couple)

Do get in touch to discuss your individual needs & arrange your free discovery call.

Meet your hypnobirthing teacher... 

Hi! I'm Jessica Ord, award winning birth educator, Doula, author & hypnobirthing specialist. 

Having founded Positively Pregnant in 2018, shortly after the birth of our son Monty; I pride myself in providing the very best in depth, evidence based but heart centred bespoke classes. 

​My approach to birth education is holistic and woman centred, weaving ancient wisdom with evidence based modern knowledge.

Over the past 6 years I have won several major awards, including 'Best Antenatal course - UK', 'Hypnobirthing Specialist of the Year' and 'Best in pregnancy support services'. 

Why embark on a birth preparation or antenatal course with a Doula?

 

Well, with 6 years of experience as a holistic pregnancy & birth professional under my belt, you can rest assured, knowing that my courses and care are based on the reality of navigating the maternity system and my lived experiences in the birth room, rather than something I learned on a course or in a book

 

(although, of course, I have done LOTS of training over the years too!)

I'm currently writing my second book, 'Ancient Wisdom/ Modern Birth' - where I'm exploring the lost wisdom of childbirth and guiding my readers along a journey where perhaps they're able to use that knowledge in the present day landscape of birth. 

 

I know what you really need to know, understand and have access to in order to have a beautiful experience of birth, no matter what your circumstances or wishes are. ​

Founded in Northumberland...

HELPING PARENTS ACROSS THE UK

 

Although my 'in person' hypnobirthing classes are based from our idyllic family farm in Northumberland, and now John Lewis in Newcastle too...

 

I proudly work with parents from across the UK and beyond through the award winning Positively Pregnant Online Hypnobirthing course.

Your hypnobirthing venue

This space is yours... to unwind, connect and focus on your baby. 

Just wanted to say a massive thank you for preparing me for the birth of my daughter. Labour was more intense than I could ever have imagined, however I was able to let me body take over & ride out the sensations. I am so happy I did your course & I will be recommending you to every pregnant woman I meet

Rachel, 1st time Mum - Group class 2022

I recieved my box for the online course in the post this morning! I wasn't expecting it to be this beautiful! It even smells amazing! Such a luxurious touch to what is already an amazing course.
I've only watched the first 2 classes and already so much has shifted for me.

Labour was so magical. Towards the end the whole world just went still...I didn't feel pain, just total sublime joy & awe.
 
I still don't fully have the words for what this birth meant for me, but it was like a gift from the Universe to experience such a primal joy.
You helped me to fully prepare so that fear & pain never took over.
