A real-deal birth prep course for people who want fewer surprises and more support.
Pregnancy and birth are wild—
They can be sacred, intense, messy, confusing, and beautiful… sometimes all at once. Even when you’ve read the books, scrolled the forums, and packed the snacks, you’re still walking into the unknown.
That’s where Pocketful of Doula comes in.
This course was designed to take the mystery out of birth—not by oversimplifying it, but by helping you understand what’s actually happening in your body, how to work with it, and what to expect (when you’re maybe panicking a little).
Think of it like having a calm, experienced doula in your pocket—minus the hospital badge and the scented massage oil.
By the end, you’ll go from
“WTF is happening?”
to
“Okay, I know what this is—and I know what to do.”
✔️ What to actually expect in labour—the stages, phases, and how they feel in a real human body
✔️ What contractions do, and how to work with them instead of feeling steamrolled
✔️ Support techniques for every part of the process—from early labour to pushing to placenta
✔️ Why labour sometimes stalls (and what to do about it)
✔️ How to build a birth plan that works for you, not just the hospital
✔️ What you actually need in your birth bag (spoiler: it’s not 18 kinds of snacks and a massage oil you’ll never touch)
Because most birth education is either overly clinical or way too fluffy. And in my experience? Fear thrives in the unknown.
This course gives you grounded information, emotional prep, and practical tools—so you can go from:
“WTF is happening?”
to
“Okay, I know what’s happening—and I know what to do.”
You’re pregnant and want to feel prepared, not panicked
You’re a birth partner and want to show up with confidence, not just hold a leg and hope
You want clear, non-judgmental info that blends physiology, emotional support, and some straight-up truth
You’re into the messy, real version of birth—not the overly filtered version

Books to read, websites to trust. These are my favourite go to resources if you’re a reader/ researcher like me.
"Chelsea was amazing she tailor made birthing classes for us and had us tell her what we wanted and created a 2 day one on one birth class for us. She was so supportive and answered all our questions! She provided us with countless resources and customized our birth plan with us. I definitely felt confident going into labour with all of the resources she provided us with. She followed up with me and kept in contact during my postpartum journey, I felt that Chelsea was an amazing addition to my birth team even without being at the hospital with us. I couldn’t recommend her more highly. Thank you again for all your time and energy that you dedicated to helping me have the empowered and confident birth that I wanted."
