Luisa Cajiao, Doula

My journey in caregiving began with a deep and heartfelt desire to help others, which first led me to medical school and later to hands on roles as a babysitter and caregiver. Through these experiences, I’ve come to truly understand the incredible value of being present for families during some of the most meaningful moments in their lives. Along the way, I became CPR certified for both infants and adults and completed a CNA course, all of which have shaped me into a more thoughtful, skilled, and compassionate Postpartum Doula. I’ve been fortunate to work in diverse, multicultural settings that have enriched me both personally and professionally. Each family I’ve worked with has offered me a new perspective, deepened my understanding of different cultures, and taught me how to truly listen and adapt to the unique needs of every individual situation. The people I’ve met along the way, families, communities, coworkers, friends, teams, and leaders have become my greatest teachers, and I’m incredibly grateful for the wisdom they’ve shared with me. Being a part of the Seattle Doulas communities and Associations is something I hold dear. It’s an honor to work alongside such a compassionate and dedicated group of professionals who share a common mission to support families with care and respect. I am committed to continuously expanding my knowledge and skills, which is why I pursue complementary courses and CEUs to ensure I’m always offering the best support possible. Every step of this journey has been filled with invaluable experiences and life experiences. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve families in such an impactful way, and as I continue to learn and grow, I look forward to being a steady, compassionate presence for the families I am privileged to support.
