  • “Time with Julissa Contreras is always time well spent. She has a wonderful strategic mind, a galvanizing presence, and a beautiful heart. She was one of the earliest employees at Donorly and did so much to help me build the company. She indeed did 'show up with her keenest eye and most innovative visions.'

    Collaborating with her was so joyful, and I learned a great deal. I am forever grateful for that. AND, she's a brilliant playwright - which means she's made a deep study of humans and how they interact with each other. A helpful skillset in just about anything you want to undertake. Take her up on her offer - you won't regret it!”

    — Sandra Davis, Donorly

  • “Julissa’s creativity and bravery perfectly intertwine to inspire, motivate and cultivate impact in every project and person she encounters.”

  • “Working with Julissa Contreras has been an absolute joyride! From being one of my client's to having her as my personal assistant for the Rebirth Retreat, she has been the backbone of our success. Julissa's dedication to her community and her impeccable service are truly unmatched.

    In 2023, I had the pleasure of being a Travel Ambassador with her for CCCADI and the God Box Foundation, leading a Spiritual Pilgrimage to Ghana, Africa. It was a transformative experience, and Julissa's communication skills and leadership were instrumental in making it a success.

    On a personal level, I am honored to be Julissa's Godmother, and witnessing her commitment to her spirituality and tradition has been awe-inspiring. She is not just a goddaughter; she is family.

    Julissa has this magical ability to make you feel whole and understood. She sees and hears you on a level that is truly remarkable. I can't imagine my business thriving without her. Book a consultation with her today; you won't regret it!”
