"Emily was a wonderful postpartum doula for me! She provided effective and warm emotional support as I worked through all the hormones and adjusting to life with 2 under 2. She was magical with my newborn and gave me much needed breaks. Emily is the extra hand you need and she is so lovely to be around!"
Betty
"2 Under 2" Mama
"Emily did a wonderful job supporting us and checking in with us throughout the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum process."

Family Welcoming Second Child
"Emily was such an important role in my birth. I had very inconsistent and near constant contractions for over 24 hours. Emily brought a calm energy and was ready to encourage me, physically support me by using counter pressure every contraction for hours on end. By the time I was pushing she was going between capturing the moment and having a cold washcloth for me between contractions.
At the end I got to see photos she captured throughout labor and have the moments to remember.
I could not recommend using Embolden Doula Services more and I will definitely be using them again for my next birth."

About Me
Originally from the Midwest, my husband and I moved to Colorado in 2019 as newlyweds, desiring a change of pace and more opportunities for outdoor play. Shortly after, we welcomed our first child into the world and were pleasantly surprised by the vibrant birth community in Boulder County.
As I navigated my own motherhood journey, I felt a deep calling to support other families through their own paths of conception, pregnancy, birth, and beyond. It was a calling I felt God had placed on my life, prompting me to transition from my corporate background, putting my MBA aside, to pursue training as a birth and postpartum doula through DONA International.
Today, I am happily settled in Longmont with my husband, our daughters, and two sweet pups. When I'm not providing compassionate support to families, you can find me baking sourdough, scouring thrift stores for hidden treasures, or preparing for an upcoming race.
