Julisa’s love for infants started young. When she was in preschool, she said she wanted to deliver babies when she grew up! Part of a large extended family, Julisa was also surrounded by the children who attended her mother’s in-home childcare center. It was natural for her to identify with the values her mother modeled daily: knowledgeable, and compassionate support for growing families. After being a nanny until she graduated from college, Julisa realized that what she really wanted was to work with babies and new parents as a doula.

Julisa is passionate about supporting the physical and emotional needs of parents as they navigate the challenges of new parenthood. She particularly loves the personal connection she feels when she is able to support a family and see them thrive. Julisa is known for having a calming presence that helps keep the home grounded and peaceful for both the baby and parents. She is adaptable, and adept at anticipating individual needs. Julisa also enjoys a reputation for being able to soothe even the fussiest infants!

A perpetual student, Julisa loves learning new things and is an avid reader. When she is not serving families as a doula, Julisa is a yoga teacher and women’s wellness coach. On her off days you can find Julisa hiking, biking, camping, and rock-climbing with her partner and their dog, Artemis.
