EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW.
NOTHING YOU DON'T.
Welcome Educators & Parents
We are practical, real-world education for pregnancy, birth & postpartum.
Most childbirth education gives you information.
Pathways Prenatal helps you use it.
Parents & Birthing Women
Learn at your own pace, with our printable programs and guides.
Pathways brings together the practical knowledge, preparation strategies and real-world tools that can make a difference when you're actually in labour or navigating those first weeks after birth.
No information overload. No medical jargon for the sake of sounding impressive. No cookie-cutter birth preparation.
Just thoughtful, comprehensive education designed to help you feel genuinely prepared.
Birth Workers & Educators
You became a doula or childbirth educator to teach and support families.
You didn't necessarily sign up to spend hundreds of hours writing curriculum, designing PDFs, creating slideshows (unless you enjoy doing all of that) and figuring out whether you've remembered to cover everything.
Pathways Prenatal gives you ready-to-teach, beautifully designed prenatal education that you can make your own.
The case for perinatal education
Every day, we are surrounded with information and research that is constantly changing and often contradictory. Many people can get overwhelmed by the amount of advice and information around them, which may lead them to choose to remain indifferent and just accept and adapt to whatever comes their way. This isn't a bad place to be, but in the birth setting, this indifference can often lead to unexpected outcomes that could have been prevented. With a little preparation, both mentally and physically, and the knowledge of options available, parents can feel more in control of the birthing experience!

About PAthways
I'm Chelsea and the story of Pathways Prenatal has been developed over 11 years, starting when I became a mother of 4 and brand new Birth Doula.
Seeing the need for education in my community, encouraged me to create handouts and short guides for my own birth clients. As I gained experience as a Doula and through my own research and learning, I created more and more handouts till they became a 40 page working prenatal program that I taught as private prenatal classes to my birth clients (and is now over 90 pages).
Education is power!
I really do notice a difference in my client birth outcomes between the ones who are educated about birth and postpartum, vs. those who arent. They're easier to work with, they're more calm going into the experience, their outcomes are often better, and their transition to postpartum is smoother.
I've taken years of actual experience working with pregnant women and families and turned it into practical education that tells people what they actually need to know - and what they can actually do.
No prenatal/perinatal program is meant to be a be-all-end-all and this one is no exception. The power of education, is to present information and allow people to take what they want from it, while simultaneously encouraging and inspiring them to do their own research.
I hope that my curriculums and guides are a stepping stone for you in your journey to learn or teach childbirth education, and that together, we can start making a difference within the wider birthing community!
