Alia Wright is a freebirth coach, doula, and mother of three, devoted to helping women reclaim birth as a natural, intuitive, and sovereign experience.

Her work centers on mindset, intuition, radical responsibility, and returning birth to women.

Known for her “tough love with a soft landing” approach, Alia guides mothers to deepen their confidence, embrace the unknown, and step into birth as a rite of passage. Her passion extends into holistic living, from herbal remedies and low-tox homemaking to nourishing food and natural family rhythms.
