Nicolette (Part 2)

Speakers: Nicolette Cirasella

Nicolette Cirasella: Three words I would use to describe Leslie and birth by faith are educational, empowering, and loyal, um, educational because Leslie, her course and her knowledge of ability to answer questions and get additional information and send articles is profound, it's excellent. Um, I felt that if I had any questions, she was my go to. Um. Even during my birth, if the or after each doctor's appointment, I would ask my questions to Leslie um and discuss from there. I would say she is empowering because the entire from from the start of our using Leslie, um, she not only made me feel that I was strong as a woman, as an individual, but that I was backed by God and with God. Everything is possible. Everything is capable, um, and. I think that was the word, even though it was such a vulnerable time in my life because I had never experienced this before. I truly have never felt stronger. I came out of my delivery feeling strong. I was in my delivery feeling strong. And I think I, I, I already had the strength from God with that, but I believe that Leslie really added to it, um, her positive energy, her prayers over us, her uh worship song additions to my birth just completed everything. I can't stop smiling about the thought of my whole experience and the third word loyal, um. Leslie is your voice when you don't have one. She's your advocate, um. My birth plan was there. She made sure that I don't even remember her giving my birth plan. I don't remember half of the things that she did, but I know that she was there. I really felt that I was able to focus on, you know, Getting through the labor and knowing that it's, she has my back. She's going to stand firm when she has a question, she's going to support me. If I have a question, if I don't want to do something, she's there, she just, she is my loyal confidant and It's the best experience going into something knowing that all you have to focus on is yourself and your baby and getting that baby out and Pushing through your labor, your husband can focus on being your rock, your support, um, your nurturer, and You know that Leslie is they're doing the. The backbone work and That can help a vulnerable person feel very, very strong. So all of those three words, and there's so many more that I could say, but I would say those 3 stand out to me the most.
