Episode 14: WNBF Pro Chelsea Doherty

This week on the Podcast we are joined by WNBF FitBody Pro Chelsea Doherty. Despite only being in her early years of competitive bodybuilding, Chelsea has already had an incredible Journey. Chelsea took to stage for the first time in 2021, where she came away with her WNBF Pro card. She then endeavoured on her Pro Debut, in her second ever season last year, where she took a top 3 Placing at WNBF Worlds. On top of this incredible experience as a bodybuilder, Chelsea is also a Midwife and provides an extremely valuable insight on how she manages her career alongside competing.
