Doula Support For Every Kind of Birth

Jacqueline Harler - Doula

Compassionate Antenatal, Birth & Postnatal Doula Support in Wiltshire & South Gloucestershire

Supporting families through pregnancy, birth and early parenthood with calm, evidence-based, non-judgemental care.

Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, home birth, induction or caesarean, you deserve to feel informed, supported and deeply respected.

 

A little bit about me...

I’m Jacqueline - a Nurturing Birth-trained antenatal, birth and postnatal doula based in Chippenham, Wiltshire - covering Chippenham, Melksham, Malmesbury, Calne, Corsham, Bath and surrounding villages.

Pregnancy and birth are truly transformative experiences, and you deserve to feel supported, informed, and genuinely seen every step of the way. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care designed to help you feel grounded, confident, and deeply respected throughout your journey. Whether this is your first birth or your fifth, my role is to listen closely, honour your choices, and help create a calm, nurturing environment where you feel safe and empowered during pregnancy, birth, and those precious early weeks with your newborn.

 

As a mum to three wonderful boys (now firmly in their late-teen years) and keeper of three spirited hens who bring balance and calm to my very male-dominated household, I understand the beautiful chaos that family life can hold.

 

I’m happiest outside with the sun on my face and the grass or sand beneath my feet. Grounding myself in nature helps me stay centred and I love supporting families in finding that same sense of calm and confidence as they prepare to welcome their baby.

 

My passion has always been to walk alongside families during this extraordinary chapter of their lives. I would be honoured to support you through pregnancy, birth and the early postnatal period, offering both practical guidance and emotional reassurance.

 

I can’t wait to meet you, hear your story, and of course share a cup of tea and a slice of cake as we begin this journey together.
