About Jacqueline
A calm, caring presence as you prepare to meet your baby
Hello, I’m Jacqueline, the heart behind Bloom With Jacqueline.
I’m a Nurturing Birth-trained antenatal, birth and postnatal doula based in Chippenham, Wiltshire - covering Chippenham, Malmesbury, Melksham, Calne, Corsham, Bath and surrounding villages, with remote support available throughout the UK.
Pregnancy can bring excitement and questions in equal measure. You might be preparing for your first baby, wondering how your partner can support you, or trying to make sense of different advice while keeping up with everyday life. Perhaps your family lives far away, and you’d like a familiar, reassuring person beside you.
You don’t have to have everything worked out before we meet. There’s space for your questions, your worries and whatever matters most to you.
A little about me
I’m a mum to three wonderful boys, so I know something of the love, adjustment and organised chaos that family life can bring.
Outside my doula work, I’m happiest enjoying the sunshine, spending time in nature or listening to the waves at the seaside - preferably with an ice cream in hand. Those simple moments of calm matter to me. I bring that same warmth and steady presence to my work: taking time to listen, getting to know you and helping you feel comfortable being yourself.
Your voice matters
I believe you deserve to feel heard, respected and involved in decisions about your care.
Our time together gives you space to explore your options, ask questions freely and prepare in a way that feels right for you. I offer evidence-informed information, emotional reassurance and practical support, working alongside your midwives and maternity team.
Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, home birth, induction or caesarean, my support centres on you. If your plans change, we can take things one step at a time, helping you understand what’s happening and find the questions you want to ask.
Your values, cultural background and family circumstances are welcome here. They help me understand how to support you.
Support for you and your partner
Your partner may be eager to help but unsure where to begin. We can explore practical ways for them to support you, so you both feel more prepared and connected.
During pregnancy, we can talk through birth preferences, comfort measures and preparations for life with your newborn.
During labour, I offer a calm, familiar presence and continuous emotional and practical support.
After birth, that care can continue with a listening ear, help around the home or time for you to rest while I care for your baby. Whether this is your first child or you’re growing your family, support is shaped around your needs.
Let’s get to know each other
Choosing a doula is personal. A free, no-obligation discovery call gives us a chance to meet, talk about the support you’re looking for and see whether we feel like a good fit.
You’re welcome to get in touch about antenatal, birth, postnatal or remote support.
