About me

Hi! I'm Jossy, like Josie and the Pussycats. I am the middle child of 3 girls coming from a huge latin family from Staten Island, NY. From my early years, I have been privileged to support new mothers and their precious babies within my own family, a journey that has shaped my commitment to serving with compassion and grace. I believe that my nurturing spirit and peaceful demeanor, guided by faith and supported by evidence-based practices and resources, are invaluable during these sacred moments in life. Professionally, I have dedicated years supporting women on their fertility journeys as a care advocate. As a Doula, I believe my nurturing and calm spirit, combined with evidence-based resources for decision-making, are essential during such sacred moments in our lives. My vision is to build caring, trusting, and honest relationships with the families I serve, honoring their birth and postpartum preferences. Whether I serve you as a fertility, birth or postpartum doula, I know the impact we will make on each other will be a forever treasured. My mission is to empower expecting parents with the confidence and knowledge to embrace each milestone on their journey to parenthood. Outside of my doula work, I cherish staying active with my husband, sharing coffee moments with friends, and reveling in the beauty of nature. I am eager to connect with you and explore how I can support you on this remarkable path. Together, let's embrace this journey with faith and joy!

My husband and I were looking for a doula who we could have with us during our birth and potentially postpartum. We came across Jossy’s profile and reached out. She was responsive and listened to ever concern we had and reassured us that she would be able To help us achieve our goals. Hiring Jossy was the best decision we made, she provided us both with support emotionally. She helped my husband comfort me during labor, they took turns. She was with us the entire time we were in labor which was heaven sent. Jossy made the transition of coming home with our newborn as smooth as possible, having her help with our overnights helped us get some rest and recover so we can face the day. She helped us care for our newborn and answered any questions we had. I would absolutely recommend Jossy.

My husband and I knew Jossy was the perfect match for us when we first spoke to her. It felt so natural and she was super understanding and easy to talk to. Jossy provided great strategies, knowledge, words of encouragement, and positivity throughout my pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. When it came to labor, she was so helpful with pain management, making my husband feel comfortable/capable, and advocating for what we wanted. Thanks to my amazing support team I was able to follow my birth plan and have an unmedicated birth. We are so happy we followed through with booking Jossy as our doula. She was a tremendous benefit and well worth it! I would highly recommend her!
