What Is The Birth Clarity Session?
The Birth Clarity Session is a one-on-one consultation focused on helping you:
✔ Understand your birth options
✔Get clear on your birth preferences
✔ Identify your priorities and values for your birth
✔ Learn evidence-based information tailored to your needs and desires
✔ Build confidence in advocating for yourself
✔ Get the information you need to build your birth plan in a realistic, flexible way
This session is not about telling you what you should do.
It is about helping you feel informed, supported, and deeply connected to your choices.
Birth is one of the most powerful transitions a person can experience — and it often comes with overwhelming information, conflicting advice, and pressure to “just trust the process” without truly understanding your options.
The Birth Clarity Session is designed to change that.
This is a personalized, judgment-free space where you can slow down, ask questions, explore your options, and leave feeling grounded and confident in your birth decisions.
This session is ideal if you:
Are a first-time parent who has no idea how to create a vision for their birth
Are a parent who has had negative birth experiences in the past and want to make a plan for a more positive experience this time around
Feel overwhelmed by the amount of pregnancy and birth information online
Want to create a birth plan but don’t know where to start
Have specific fears, questions, or past experiences you want to process
Want to better understand medical interventions and your options
Want support preparing for communication with your care team
Desire a birth experience that feels aligned, intentional, and informed

This will ensure you have enough information to make decisions and plans around your birth, while giving you enough time to research and have the necessary conversations with your providers and loved ones.
You will receive an email with the Birth Preferences Form after booking your session. This document will help you get clear on your needs and wants for your birth, and will be what our conversation is based on. you don’t have to know everything; this form will serve as a guide for your education and will help me know where to fill in the gaps for you.
This needs to be completed no later than 72 hours before our scheduled session.

About Aaliyah
Hey, I’m Aaliyah! I use they/them pronouns, and I am a full-spectrum doula, perinatal educator, and herbalist. My education in the perinatal field has been focused on herbalism for the perinatal period, supporting the physiology of the body during childbirth to help optimize the experience, gender-affirming care, trauma-informed care, and newborn care and attachment. I’m a certified full spectrum doula, certified community health worker, a lactation educator, and a childbirth educator.
I have supported almost 200 families through their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum periods in the 6 years I’ve been a perinatal professional, and I have been studying and practicing herbalism for 16 years. I have lived experience in navigating the medical system through intense, transformative life changes -both as the patient and as the caregiver. Most of my professional experience has been supporting people who are medically complicated or have medically complicated pregnancies - those who are navigating gestational diabetes, high blood pressure or preeclampsia, IUGR, high anxiety, etc.
I believe birth education should be:
✔ Evidence-based
✔ Inclusive and affirming
✔ Trauma-informed
✔ Realistic and honest
✔ Centered on your autonomy
You deserve information that helps you make choices that feel right for you.
