Who is Jacqui Blue?
Jacqui Blue is an artist who loves to paint, make resin crafts, and enjoys nature photography. She's also an independent filmmaker, (director, writer, producer, editor), certified clinical hypnotherapist, and writer. She achieved international acclaim with her first film, turned brand, Beautiful Births. She then went on to work with James Franco when she was selected as one of ten directors for his now infamous Master Class called "Sex Scenes", which resulted in a short comedy called Burden of Proof. After that went onto be a Production Assistant for an independent feature film featuring Lou Diamond Phillips, while beginning on her second documentary. In the Summer of 2016 she wrote and directed a short drama, Love & Other Lies, and was hired by T.O.N.E-z, an Emmy nominated artist, to rewrite and direct his vampire noir titled Sed. In early 2020, she completed post-production with her second documentary - a feature film covering the subject of suicide titled I Chose Life: Stories of Suicide & Survival, which features Jared Padalecki, T.O.N.E-z, Kevin Briggs, and others which was inspired by the behind the scenes story of The Last Train.
Outside of film, she was asked to be a contributing author to the Fear Free Childbirth free e-book. Jacqui was a contributing writer to the online magazine, Film Inquiry, from 2016 through 2021. In 2023 she released her first book, Beautiful Hypnosis-Births, and currently has several manuscripts nearing completion.
In addition to film and writing, as the breadwinner of the family, she needed a better day job to pay the bills and take care of the kids while in pursuit of her dreams and creative passions. In 2017-2018, she spent time studying hypnotherapy at the Hypnosis Motivation Institute where she became certified to specialize in Past Life Regression therapy and Hypnosis for Childbirth, giving her a way to personally help women have Beautiful Birth experiences. She launched her Hypnotherapy practice in January 2018.
Jacqui began acting at the age of six, taking classes at the Actor's Playhouse in Miami. She began writing poetry, prose and short stories at the age of nine and continued to pursue both throughout her youth. She performed in many local theatrical productions and had pieces she wrote published in local newspapers and literary magazines. At the age of 19, Jacqui stopped acting, realizing she always preferred this world from behind the scenes but continued to write.
Before putting herself through film school about a decade later, Jacqui spent the greater part of her twenties working as a stay at home mom and wife. Having had a Cesarean section with her twins, followed by two very different but successful hospital VBACs, which was then followed by a water birth in a birth center, She developed a passion for natural birth and fell into "alternative" or "attachment" parenting styles. She spent nearly a decade studying and researching pregnancy and childbirth, even to the point of considering a career in Midwifery for a brief time. Instead she decided to make childbirth an area of focus in her hypnotherapy practice and developed her own exclusive Hypnotherapy program as part of her Beautiful Births brand, which includes extended postpartum support and is available in different forms, worldwide.
Jacqui has been quoted in many articles on pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding including Parents, and US News.
