Meet Juliana Ocasio | Juliana Ocasio, RN, BSN, MLD-C, WCN-C (Nurse J)

We had the good fortune of connecting with Juliana Ocasio and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Juliana, what do you attribute your success to?

The most crucial factor behind the success of my brand? That’s a no-brainer—it’s my unwavering determination to break the cycle I was born into and create a better life for my family. Growing up in a home filled with addiction and abuse, I knew early on that I had to pave a different path for myself and my children. Despite becoming a mother at a young age, I refused to let my circumstances define me. I worked tirelessly, earned my GED, and became the first in my family to graduate from college. Launching Infusions & Body by J was a pivotal moment—it wasn’t just about starting a business; it was about reclaiming control of my life. Through my company, I’ve not only provided for my family but also shown others that no matter where you come from, with hard work and determination, you can achieve your dreams.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
At Infusions & Body By J, our mission is to provide exceptional post-op care and IV infusion services to our clients in South Florida, all while treating each individual with the utmost care and respect, just like family. What sets us apart is our dedication to delivering personalized, concierge experiences that prioritize the well-being and comfort of our clients.

Starting this journey wasn’t easy. It required a combination of my nursing expertise and the invaluable lessons learned from life’s challenges. From overcoming adversity in my upbringing to navigating the complexities of entrepreneurship, every obstacle taught me resilience and determination. One of the hardest lessons I’ve learned is that no matter how hard you fall, you must summon the strength to rise again because beyond fear lies the potential for greatness.

I’m incredibly proud of building Infusions & Body By J from the ground up into a six-figure company. It’s a testament to the power of perseverance and the willingness to learn from both successes and failures. Along the way, I’ve discovered the importance of surrounding myself with a supportive network of mentors, peers, and allies who have helped me navigate the ups and downs of business ownership.

What I want the world to know about our brand and story is that behind every success lies a journey fueled by passion, hard work, and the unwavering belief in making a difference. Infusions & Body By J isn’t just about providing medical services—it’s about creating a sanctuary of healing and support for our clients during their recovery journey. And through our dedication to excellence and compassion, we aim to redefine the standards of post-op care in our community.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?

I’d like to dedicate my shoutout to several remarkable individuals who have played pivotal roles in shaping my journey and reminding me of my potential, even during times when I struggled to see it myself. Firstly, my Aunt Christine Quinones and Uncle Jose Rosario deserve immense recognition for being constant sources of support and belief in my abilities, particularly when positive influences were scarce in my life. Their encouragement instilled in me the confidence to aspire for greatness.

Additionally, Lilliam Gonzalez has been a beacon of inspiration, demonstrating through her own hard work and dedication what can be achieved with perseverance. Her example has motivated me to push beyond my limits and strive for excellence.

I must also extend my gratitude to Professor Erica Williams and Professor Paula Greene, whose guidance and mentorship have been invaluable throughout my academic journey. Their wisdom and encouragement have empowered me to pursue my dreams with unwavering determination.

Lastly, I want to acknowledge Xavier Powell for his instrumental role in helping us establish a presence for our company in the Miami area. His support and collaboration have been instrumental in our success, and I’m deeply grateful for his contributions to our journey.
