Nurtured, Supported, Empowered

Welcome.

If you’ve found your way here, you may be looking for a moment to slow down, to reconnect with your body, or to feel supported through a time of change.

My name is Jessica, and I am a certified doula and women’s wellness guide. At Nurtured Soul, I offer a calm, nurturing, and non-judgemental space where all bodies, all stories, and all experiences are truly welcome.

For those seeking rest, movement, and reconnection, my yoga classes and treatments offer a space to soften, breathe deeply, and come back to yourself—away from the noise and pressure of everyday life.

For those who are pregnant, preparing for birth, or navigating postpartum, 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 hold space for women to feel supported without expectation or comparison—whether you are stepping onto the mat, preparing to give birth, or finding your way through motherhood.

Nurtured Soul offers in-person antenatal, birth, and postpartum support, alongside yoga classes, massage, workshops, and sauna sessions. I also provide remote emotional and birth healing support via WhatsApp and phone.

If you’re looking for a space where you can slow down, be heard, and feel supported in your body and your experience, you are so welcome here.

You can book a class, treatment, or a free call to explore birth support—whatever feels right for you.

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 center's gentle movement, deep rest, and compassionate presence.

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

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.

Happy International Women’s Day……

I’d love to know…

What is something a woman in your life taught you that has stayed with you?

When life gets sticky, I remember my Grandma Ada who lived until 106 through two world wars, grew her own veges, liked a brandy, lived on her own until 105 and enjoyed her own company. She was quoted in an article saying the secret to life was “to work hard and have a contented mind” I think there’s more to it but this is one of my mantras.

To all the sistas who have walked before us, taken the road less travelled and paved the way…..to all the women today that lift other women up…. and to all the women yet to be birthed into the world.

Remembering dear friends that have travelled on through the veil and guide us from afar. Thinking of all the women that have fought to be heard, cried in silence, battled on and held others up to do the same.

Through birth life and death, let us empower and be empowered by each other 🩷

Sink into deep rest with a nurturing full-body healing massage designed to calm your nervous system and restore balance. You’ll be gently cocooned beneath soft blankets, while resting on a warm electric blanket, allowing your body to fully soften and receive.

I use carefully chosen essential oils, lightly steamed to awaken their therapeutic properties as well as blended into a warm massage oil. The heat from your body once warmed help the oils infuse more deeply into the skin while their natural aromas support emotional release, grounding and gentle renewal.

Each session is slow, intuitive and responsive to what your body needs on the day — easing tension, encouraging circulation and creating a sense of safe, held space. This is more than a massage; it’s time to pause, breathe and return to yourself.

Perfect if you’re feeling overwhelmed, depleted or simply in need of warmth and care.

Yin & Tonic — Spring Cleanse for Women 🌿

A gentle reset for body, mind, and nervous system as we move into a new season.

This workshop weaves together yin yoga, sauna, and cold dipping — a powerful rhythm of release, renewal, and awakening.

✨ Yin yoga invites deep rest and slow opening. Long, nourishing holds support fascia, encourage circulation, and create space where we’ve been holding tension.

✨Sauna brings warmth, softness, and flow. Supporting detoxification, easing muscles, and helping the body let go — physically and emotionally.

✨Cold dip awakens and invigorates. A refreshing shift that boosts circulation, sharpens presence, and leaves you feeling clear, energised, and alive.

Together, these practices create a natural spring cleanse — supporting the body’s own rhythms of renewal and helping you step into the season feeling lighter, clearer, and more balanced.

A space to soften.
A space to reset.
A space to welcome new energy.

Come and cleanse, restore, and rise with the season, finish off with a chai latte and a chat.

I don’t just practice rest and yin yoga. You may not know this but I was once a fitness trainer and after many years, 4 babies later…. I’m falling in love with strength training again with the help of @patricia_howe_phew .

Yin yoga invites us to soften, release and create space in the body — but that space needs support. This is where strength and stabilisation come in… the yang to yin.

Yin qualities are slow, receptive and inward. We work deeply into connective tissues, encouraging mobility and spaciousness. But without the active, supportive energy of yang — strength, stability and muscular engagement — that openness has nothing to anchor into.

Strength and stabilisation help the body hold what yin creates. They protect the joints, support alignment and build the resilience needed for sustainable movement.

Yin creates space.
Yang supports structure.
Yin softens.
Yang stabilises.

Together they bring balance — not just flexibility, but integrity, strength and ease coexisting.

Mobility and stability. Effort and surrender. Yin and yang in motion 🤍

I do this routine timing each movement for a minute as well as resistant bands and then 30 mins of yoga and yin on the days I’m tired or in need of a reset.

When you’re nurturing and mothering and holding space for your family, it’s important to feed yourself all of those things too and movement will never let you down!

Today felt really special 🤍

I had the honour of holding space in a private yin class for two women I deeply admire — my yoga teacher and an experienced doula who have both inspired me along my own journey as teachers and friends.

To offer them the same stillness, care, and presence they’ve given to others (and to me) felt beautifully full-circle… and deeply humbling.

I absolutely love holding space for the nervous system to reset and reconnect with self. It is my love. Nurturing others also reminds me to nurture myself so my cup is always full!

Grateful for the wisdom they share, the paths they’ve opened, and the reminder that holding space is always a mutual exchange.

Namaste ladies @jennyhulin @birthwisewalters
