Ellie Vanderpoel

Accepts insurance

Hi there, I’m Ellie! I'm an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), a registered nurse with years of experience in Level IV NICUs—and a mom of two boys, each with their own hard, imperfect feeding journey. I know what it's like to be sore, sleep-deprived, and wondering if you're doing any of this right. That's exactly why I do this work. When a mom feels supported in the postpartum season, everything gets a little lighter—for her, her baby, and her whole family. My job is to bring answers and encouragement right when you need them most. Best of all, my services can be covered by insurance plans, meaning many families pay nothing at all.

Ellie is absolutely amazing and everyone needs an Ellie in their corner! I met her two months into my nursing journey when I was struggling immensely and feeling completely overwhelmed. Before finding her, I had already sought out help from several different IBCLCs, but Ellie was a breath of fresh air. She took the time to really listen to me, brainstorm practical solutions, and was so empathetic and kind every step of the way. Ellie made me feel so supported and truly stood by me as a valued partner through what has been one of the toughest, most vulnerable times so far for me. She totally gets the unique struggles that nursing can come with, and she always comes prepared to tackle absolutely anything together with you. Beyond her incredible expertise, she is just so genuinely sweet and kind. Ellie will champion you every single step of the way, celebrating all of your wins and successes—no matter how small. I truly cannot recommend her enough!

En ESPAÑOL mire más abajo... I was born and raised in Panama, and with a North American and a Panamanian parent, I bring with me a taste of multicultural integration. I grew up in the country side of Panama, so moving to the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, to be outdoors as much as possible, enjoy hiking with our dog, kayaking, camping, and live a simple life, makes it feel like home. Ways I support families are connecting with baby prenatally, navigating birth (knowing now that the birth experience has a big impact on how our life unfolds and who we are), transitioning to parenthood, understanding postpartum recovery, boosting & (breast)feeding support, tips & tricks for less cry and more sleep, early brain development, and creating parenting habits with consciousness. I have over 35 years of working with families and their little ones in different fields, and with time, I became a strong promoter of prenatal bonding. My main focus is to help families as early as possible in their pregnancy, right after birth, with reading their newborn’s body language, expressing feelings, and practice processing them. The postpartum recovery period can be tricky... mothers go through wild hormonal and emotional changes throughout this journey, and adaptations, and infants as well, bring with them memories from the womb and the birth, which sometimes are manifested with cry. I model self-regulation, using tools like deep breathing and connection, helping the family, so mothers recover smoothly, and babies enjoy growing, feeling safe, loved, accepted, and understood, giving them tools to keep wanting to explore and be able to learn. I usually do overnights to help create a system, specially in those first weeks to help recovering baby’s birth weight, and so parents get some sleep; encouraging & empowering them. I am based in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, although I love going all over the United States and get to know new places at the same time. ESPAÑOL Nací y crecí en Panamá, y con un padre norteamericano y uno panameño, traigo conmigo un sabor de integración multicultural. Crecí en el campo de Panamá, así que mudarme a las Montañas Rocosas en Colorado, estar al aire libre tanto como sea posible, disfrutar de caminatas con nuestro perro, hacer kayak, acampar, y vivir una vida simple, hace que se sienta como en casa. Las maneras en que apoyo a las familias son conectando con el bebé prenatalmente, navegando el parto (sabiendo que la experiencia del parto tiene un gran impacto en cómo se desarrolla nuestra vida y quiénes somos), la transición a la paternidad, entendiendo la recuperación posparto, apoyo para lactancia y (amamantamiento), consejos y trucos para menos llanto y más sueño, desarrollo temprano del cerebro, y creando hábitos de crianza con conciencia. Tengo más de 35 años de experiencia trabajando con familias y sus pequeños en diferentes campos, y con el tiempo, me convertí en un fuerte promotor del vínculo prenatal. Mi enfoque principal es ayudar a las familias lo antes posible en su embarazo, justo después del nacimiento, leyendo el lenguaje corporal de su recién nacido, expresando sentimientos y practicando su procesamiento. El período de recuperación posparto puede ser complicado... las madres atraviesan cambios hormonales y emocionales intensos a lo largo de este viaje, y las adaptaciones, así como los infantes, traen consigo recuerdos del útero y el nacimiento, que a veces se manifiestan con llanto. Yo modelo la autorregulación, utilizando herramientas como la respiración profunda y la conexión, ayudando a la familia, para que las madres se recuperen suavemente y los bebés disfruten crecer, sintiéndose seguros, amados, aceptados y comprendidos, dándoles herramientas para seguir queriendo explorar y poder aprender. Normalmente hago noches para ayudar a crear un sistema, especialmente en esas primeras semanas para ayudar a recuperar el peso de nacimiento del bebé, y así los padres puedan dormir un poco; alentándolos y empoderándolos. Estoy basada en las Montañas Rocosas de Colorado, aunque me encanta viajar por todo Estados Unidos y conocer nuevos lugares al mismo tiempo.
