I'm Jocelyn Araujo, a Latina birth and postpartum doula deeply devoted to accompanying parents on their remarkable journey into parenthood. Being a mother of three, I intimately comprehend both the joys and hurdles of bringing new life into the world.

When I discovered I was pregnant with my third baby, I initially felt a sense of confidence, believing I could handle it just as I had with my first two. However, a conversation with my boss changed my perspective entirely. She wisely pointed out that three wasn't simply an extension of two, prompting me to consider my own well-being amidst the demands of motherhood.

Her question, "Who will take care of you, not just the kids?" left me speechless. It was a wake-up call I sorely needed. Following her advice, I decided to consult with a doula. The decision to hire an overnight doula for six weeks was transformative. It gave me the support I didn't realize I needed and allowed me to truly prioritize self-care for the first time in a long while. As those weeks unfolded, I found myself increasingly drawn to the world of birthwork. The experience ignited a passion within me that I hadn't anticipated. Eventually, I made the bold decision to leave my full-time job behind and dive headfirst into the realm of doula work.

Now, looking back, I can see how that pivotal conversation and the subsequent journey it set me on have reshaped my life in the most incredible ways. Becoming a doula wasn't just a career change; it was a profound shift in how I approach both motherhood and self-care. And with each birth I assist, I'm reminded of the power of that initial question: Who will take care of me?

My mission is to offer steadfast support, guidance, and a safe, non-judgmental haven for expectant and new parents. I prioritize empowering you with knowledge and honoring your individual choices, ensuring you feel empowered to make informed decisions aligned with your birthing and postpartum aspirations. With an unwavering commitment to unbiased care, I am committed to assisting you through this transformative phase with love, compassion, and empathy.

Together, we will cultivate a positive and unforgettable experience as you embrace your little one's arrival into the world.

testimonials

As a first time mom I couldn’t imagine going through labor without the support of someone like Jocelyn. You made me feel safe, heard, & more than anything comfortable
Jocelyn reassured me every step of the way. Her patience, knowledge, and compassion made me feel comfortable whenever she came to assist me in the appropriate care of my newborn son. There were times where I just needed to vent and get some sound advice , Jocelyn never judged me or my family situation.
Jocelyn was heaven sent. She is warm, caring, knowledgeable, professional and a real loving mama. I never had this kind of support and I truly cherish her.
We honestly weren’t even sure what we needed, and Jocelyn was wonderful helping in ways we wouldn’t have even known to ask for. She was so affirming for us both as first-time parents, and especially for me after going through a difficult birth experience.
Having interviewed multiple postpartum doulas, there was something unique about Jocelyn that made me want to work with her - she immediately made me feel so comfortable, like I could tell or ask her anything. She is a wealth of knowledge and made my life so much easier when she visited us.
