Our&nbsp;<strong>Birth Will Session<\/strong>&nbsp;is a personalized advocacy consultation designed to help you clearly outline your medical preferences, designate trusted decision-makers, and plan for your baby\u2019s care in the event you\u2019re unable to advocate for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this session, you\u2019ll create a working&nbsp;<strong>Birth Will<\/strong>&nbsp;document that you can bring to your attorney, making the legal process smoother and faster.

Your legal counsel can listen in real-time as we explore your birth plan, helping them capture your preferences and translate them into actionable legal documents \u2014 or, if they can\u2019t attend,&nbsp;<strong>I will walk you through the worksheets provided to help you create a powerful outline<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a seasoned&nbsp;<strong>birth doula<\/strong>&nbsp;who has crafted birth plans and attended over&nbsp;<strong>five dozen births<\/strong>&nbsp;(with an&nbsp;<strong>extremely low cesarean rate<\/strong>), I know how to extract and clarify your&nbsp;<strong>deepest wishes<\/strong>. I also stay up to date on&nbsp;<strong>public policy and legal developments<\/strong>&nbsp;that affect pregnant women and new families.
