BIRTH DOULA SUPPORT- Newbury and surrounds

Modern, Balanced, Nurturing support for your pregnancy, birth and early motherhood

As your birth doula, I am here to support you through this transformative time in your life. A calm, kind presence to be by your side through this journey, supporting you all the way

“Daisy is such an amazing mentor to have when approaching the birth of your baby and I could not recommend her more highly.“

Birth Doula in Newbury

Calm, steady, wholehearted support for your pregnancy and birth

If you’re here, something in you knows you don’t want to do this alone.

Not because you can’t — you absolutely can.

But because birth is big. Transformative. Emotional. Powerful. And having the right support in the room changes everything.

I offer birth doula support in Newbury and surrounding areas across Berkshire, Hampshire, Wiltshire and Oxfordshire. I support women and families who want to feel calm, informed and genuinely held throughout pregnancy, labour and those first early days.

My role isn’t to take over.
It isn’t to replace your midwife.
It isn’t to push a “perfect birth” narrative.

It’s to protect your confidence.
To steady the room.
To help you feel safe.

Because birth works best when you feel safe.

What It Means To Have a Doula

As your birth doula in Newbury, I provide continuous emotional and practical support before, during and after your baby’s birth.

Unlike clinical staff, I remain by your side throughout your labour. I am there just for you and your partner — offering reassurance, information, comfort techniques and a calm, grounded presence.

This might look like:

Helping you understand your options clearly
Creating space for informed decision-making
Physical comfort measures in labour
Supporting your partner so they feel confident too
Protecting your birth environment
Staying steady when things feel intense

I support hospital births, home births, inductions, epidurals, caesarean births and VBACs. There is no “right” way to give birth. There is only your way.

Doula Support Across Newbury & Beyond

Although I am based near Newbury, I provide birth doula support across:

West Berkshire
North Hampshire
Wiltshire
Oxfordshire

If you’re unsure whether I cover your area, just ask. If I can get to you calmly and reliably when labour begins, I’m happy to travel.

Many of my clients are birthing at local hospitals including Royal Berkshire Hospital, Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, and the Great Western Hospital — as well as planning home births throughout the region.

After Birth

Your birth matters. But so does what comes next.

During your postnatal visit, we gently reflect on your experience. We talk through your birth story. We check in emotionally. We support feeding and those first adjustments to motherhood.

There is something incredibly powerful about being witnessed in that transition.

You deserve that too.

“Daisy is amazing. Her hypnobirthing course completely changed my mindset from being quite apprehensive to excited about birth. It was a great mix of techniques for staying calm, detail about the physiological process of birth, and evidence based information and how to have positive discussions with midwives etc to get the best birth possible for you. Highly recommended whether it is your first birthing experience or not.”

No pressure- just a relaxed conversation to see if I’m the right person to walk this journey with you.

What’s Included

Every family is different. Some want strong birth preparation and steady labour support. Others want deeper mindset work and full hypnobirthing education included.

Both options include my on-call period from 38–42 weeks and full birth support — because knowing I am available when labour begins is often the thing that helps you relax the most.

The Deep Support Package

(solid, grounding, nurturing)

Perfect if you’d like comprehensive antenatal preparation and continuous birth support.

Includes:

2 x 2-hour antenatal sessions in your home
On-call support from 38–42 weeks
Continuous support throughout labour and birth
2-hour postnatal home visit

During our antenatal sessions, we cover:

How birth works (so you understand what’s happening in your body)
Your birth preferences and options
Induction, pain relief and caesarean information
Practical coping techniques
How your partner can best support you
Navigating the maternity system confidently

This is about building understanding and trust — so when labour begins, you feel prepared rather than overwhelmed.

The Hypnobirthing and Doula Birth Package

(hypnobirthing + full doula support)

For women who want powerful preparation, mindset work and practical birth support woven together.

This package includes my full 8-hour hypnobirthing course alongside personalised doula care.

Includes:

Full 8-hour hypnobirthing course
1 x 2-hour personalised antenatal session
1 x 1-hour postnatal planning session (including breastfeeding preparation)
On-call support from 38–42 weeks
Continuous birth support
2-hour postnatal home visit

The hypnobirthing element focuses on:

The physiology of birth
The science of calm
Breathing techniques for each stage
Releasing fear and building trust
Preparing for hospital, home, induction or caesarean birth

This option is especially popular with first-time parents across Berkshire, Hampshire and Oxfordshire who want to feel deeply prepared rather than just “hoping it goes well.”

Essential, balanced and modern birth preparation for every family, for every type of birth.

“Daisy is absolutely fantastic. Her course was very well prepared and, while intense at times, so so valuable. My partner and I feel all the more prepared and excited for the birth of our first baby as a result. There wasn’t a question she couldn’t answer and was abundently patient throughout, not to mention the reading materials she shared beforehand which were full of valuable content as well as some little treats. We cannot recommend highly enough!”

“Attending Daisy’s course has put a whole new perspective and mindset on how we’re preparing for, thinking about and embracing the experience of birth. We now have so much more knowledge and understanding about not just the ‘obvious’ what happens. But just as importantly the why and how. What we can do ourselves to help make every step and stage something we understand, can make informed decisions about, and inspires the confidence in us to embrace every element of this final stage of the journey to becoming a parent. The class brought together people at varying stages of pregnancy, varied journies, backgrounds and thoughts and expectations of what is to come.
Aswell as working through an incredible amount of invaluable information in an easy to follow way, Daisy makes everyone feel welcome and comfortable and encourages discussion and questioning and sharing of experiences throughout, which adds even more value to what is being learnt.
But it doesn’t stop there. Daisy’s support continues beyond the classroom, answering questions. Sharing links to materials to read, videos, research. Whatever might be useful.
We would absolutely recommend hypnobirthing and without a shadow of a doubt very specifically recommend Daisy’s course.”
