Ocotillo Birth LLC

Hi, I’m Julia — a proud native of Albuquerque and the corazón behind Ocotillo Birth, LLC. I'm passionate about nurturing community, uplifting young parents, and walking alongside families as they grow. My work is rooted in the belief that birth and early parenting deserve support that is inclusive, respectful, and empowering.
I’m a Certified Doula, Certified Breastfeeding Specialist, Certified Childbirth Educator and Community Health Worker, offering full-spectrum doula support, lactation support and childbirth education. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Community Health Education and have earned my Master’s in Health Education with a focus on Maternal and Child Health at the University of New Mexico. I am certified in BLS, CPR, NRP and as an EMT. I’m also on my own midwifery journey — a path driven by both deep passion and meaningful purpose.I’m here to hold space for all parents—with a deep commitment to uplifting and centering families of color, especially young, 2SLGBTQ+, and solo parents—by offering compassionate, inclusive, and evidence-based support through every stage of pregnancy, birth, and early parenting. As a lactation specialist, childbirth educator, and doula, my mission is to make education accessible, guidance gentle, and every interaction rooted in warmth and respect—whether in-person or virtual. I strive to create spaces where every family, and especially those from communities historically pushed to the margins, feel seen, supported, and empowered to make the choices that are right for them.
