Hello, I’m Jacqueline - mum of three and the heart behind Bloom With Jacqueline.
My three boys have given me three very different experiences of pregnancy, birth and motherhood. From navigating severe colic with my first baby to experiencing postnatal depression after my second, and an unexpected home birth with my youngest, I know how much this journey can ask of us.
We were a military family for almost 20 years, moving between places and often raising our children far from family. I understand what it feels like to find your feet somewhere new, wish your support network lived closer, and need someone to ask, “How are you doing?”
I also remember the difference it made when someone offered me kindness, listened without judgement and helped me feel less alone. Those experiences are a big part of why I became a doula.
A familiar face through pregnancy, birth and beyond
Today, I’m a Nurturing Birth-trained antenatal, birth and postnatal doula based in Chippenham. Through Bloom With Jacqueline, I support families across Wiltshire and South Gloucestershire, with remote doula support available throughout the UK.
I offer emotional support, practical help and evidence-based information, shaped around you and your family. That might mean talking through your birth preferences over a cuppa, helping your partner feel more prepared, being beside you during labour, or giving you space to rest once your baby arrives.
You can bring your questions, worries and whatever feelings come with them. Whether you’re preparing for your first baby or welcoming another, you deserve to feel heard and supported.
Your pregnancy, your baby, your choices. I’m here to help you feel more confident in them.
WELCOME!
