Compassionate Doula Care for Families in Newbury & Surrounding Areas
Hello, I’m Jasmine, a mum of two and a Birth and Postnatal Doula supporting families in Newbury, Berkshire, and the surrounding villages.
My approach to doula care is centred around building connection, trust, compassion and continuity. I provide personalised support throughout pregnancy, labour, birth and the early postnatal weeks, helping you feel informed, prepared and emotionally supported as you welcome your baby.
Whether you’re planning a home birth, hospital birth, induction or caesarean birth, my role is to support you and your individual choices without judgement.
If you're looking for a trusted Birth Doula in Newbury or a caring Postnatal Doula in West Berkshire, I'd love to support you
Feel Confident, Informed & Supported Throughout Your Birth Journey
Becoming a parent is one of life’s biggest transitions. Having experienced pregnancy and birth twice myself, I understand how important it can feel to have someone alongside you who offers reassurance, knowledge and genuine emotional support.
Whether this is your first baby or you’re adding another little person to your family, your experience deserves to be heard and respected.
Pregnancy and birth can bring excitement, anticipation and joy, but they can also come with uncertainty and lots of questions. With personalised preparation and continuous support, you can approach your birth feeling more confident in your choices and better equipped for whatever your journey brings.
As a birth doula and birth educator, I offer calm, compassionate and evidence-informed guidance throughout your journey. Together, we can explore your options, prepare for different possibilities and create a birth plan that reflects what matters most to you.
I provide in-person doula support in Newbury and surrounding areas of West Berkshire, as well as selected areas of Wiltshire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, the Cotswolds and Berkshire, generally within approximately one hour of the SN6 postcode.
Whether you’re preparing for your first birth or looking for additional support after a previous experience, I’m here to walk beside you.
Why Hire a Doula?
There is no single definition of a positive birth. For one family, it may mean a peaceful home birth. For another, it may mean feeling informed and supported during an induction or caesarean birth.
What matters is that you feel heard, respected, prepared and supported.
As your doula, I help you explore your preferences, understand your choices and prepare emotionally and practically for birth.
Are you hoping to:
Feel calmer and more confident as your due date approaches?
Understand your birth options so you can make informed decisions?
Prepare your partner to feel confident and involved?
Learn practical tools and comfort measures for labour?
Feel supported if your birth takes an unexpected direction?
Have continuous emotional and practical support during labour?
Feel nurtured and cared for during those important first weeks with your newborn?
If you’re looking for a doula in Newbury who will provide compassionate, non-judgemental and personalised support, I would love to hear from you.
Supporting Your Birth Choices
Every family has different needs, hopes and circumstances. My doula support is therefore tailored around you rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.
From pregnancy preparation through to the postnatal period, I offer a combination of emotional reassurance, practical guidance, evidence-informed information and continuous care.
Pregnancy & Birth Preparation
Pregnancy is a wonderful time to begin preparing not only for birth, but for the transition into parenthood.
We can explore your birth preferences, discuss your options, prepare for different scenarios and talk through any questions, fears or concerns you may have.
I can help you feel more informed about your choices while encouraging you to trust your own instincts and feel confident communicating your preferences to your maternity team.
My aim is to help you approach birth feeling prepared rather than overwhelmed. All of my clients have felt much more ready for birth, even after just one antenatal meet!
Labour & Birth Doula Support
When the big day arrives, I provide continuous emotional and physical support throughout your labour and birth.
Depending on what you need, this may include reassurance, encouragement, breathing and relaxation techniques, massage, position changes, comfort measures and creating a calm environment around you.
I can also help you and your partner process information and understand your as your labour unfolds.
My role is not to replace your partner or your maternity care team. Instead, I work alongside them, supporting the whole family so that your partner can feel involved while you have a familiar, trusted person beside you.
Whether you are giving birth at Newbury's maternity services, planning a home birth or travelling to another local maternity unit, I can provide continuity and reassurance throughout your journey.
Postnatal Support
The first days and weeks after having a baby can be beautiful, exhausting and completely overwhelming—all at the same time.
This is why postnatal care is such an important part of my work.
I offer nurturing postnatal doula support in Newbury and the surrounding area, helping you adjust to life with your newborn while making sure your own wellbeing remains a priority.
Support might include newborn care, feeding support, emotional reassurance, practical help around the home or simply giving you the opportunity to rest while someone trusted is there with you.
You don’t have to do everything yourself.
Your recovery matters. Your emotional wellbeing matters. And you deserve support while you learn to care for your new baby.
Begin Your Parenthood Journey with Confidence
Every pregnancy is different. Every birth story is different. And every family deserves support that recognises their individual needs.
You deserve to feel listened to.
You deserve to understand your choices.
You deserve to feel emotionally supported.
And you deserve care that extends beyond the moment your baby is born.

Hypnobirthing, Pregnancy Massage & Holistic Birth Preparation
Alongside birth and postnatal doula care, I also offer Hypnobirthing and pregnancy massage to help you prepare both physically and emotionally for birth.
These services can complement your doula support, helping you feel more relaxed, informed and confident before labour begins.
