FAQs
What sets the Pocket Doula Birth Prep Course apart from other childbirth education courses?
The Pocket Doula Birth Prep Course goes beyond simply giving you information—it trains you with practical skills you'll use in labor.
Created by a birth doula with 12 years of experience and a Master's in Biblical Counseling, each module is taught through a clear biblical principle so your faith and your birth preparation work together.
You'll actively apply what you learn through practice activities, quizzes, fill-in-the-blank worksheets, and guided conversations with your support partner. Rather than just watching videos, you'll build habits and confidence before labor begins.
The course also accommodates different learning styles with recorded lessons, audio examples, birth partner demonstrations, printable handouts, and audio-only lessons for hands-free listening during your commute or daily routine.
The goal isn't simply for you to know what to do in labor—it's for your skills to become second nature before your baby is born.
What "missing piece" is the Pocket Doula Birth Prep Course designed to solve?
After 12 years as a birth doula, I noticed the same gap over and over again: couples could write thoughtful birth preferences during pregnancy, but they weren't prepared to navigate unexpected conversations and decisions during labor.
In particular, many birth partners wanted to help but didn't know how to confidently support, communicate, or advocate when plans changed or questions arose. Without biblical preparation, couples often found themselves reacting under pressure instead of making informed decisions together.
The Pocket Doula Birth Prep Course closes that gap by helping you practice these skills before labor begins. You'll learn how to start productive conversations with your provider during pregnancy, communicate your preferences respectfully, and work as a confident team when decisions need to be made.
Because the course is app-based, your lessons, tools, and practice exercises are always within reach, making it easy to build these habits into your daily routine until they become second nature.

TESTIMONIALS
Client
Brandy
1st time mom
I recommend her birth-prep courses to all my mama-to-be friends :)
I felt much more equipped for labor/birth after meeting with Amanda for our prenatal courses. I felt like I knew what to expect and how to cope with the pain, unexpected, etc. I loved how Amanda tied so many things back to the Lord during our prenatal courses - our source of knowledge and strength!
Natalie
2nd time mom
Amanda is so gifted and I would recommended her and her classes to anyone!
I took Amanda’s Pregnancy Decisions class with my husband and she was our birth doula. I can’t say enough for how thankful we were for her services! The class helped put us in the right frame of mind surrounding birth and helped us put together a confident plan.
*this client’s services started with a Birth Decompression Session after a traumatic 1st birth not under the care of Confident Christian Birth.
Jon
2nd time dad, vBAC2C success
Amanda's services are an excellent value. She excels in her role and I highly recommend her services.
[She] is the ideal doula and birthing coach. Her professionalism is matched by her compassion, experience, consistency, patience, and determination. My wife and I have had the pleasure of working with her twice, for the births of two children. She prepared us for labor and delivery with in-person and virtual consultations.
