Glad to have you here!

Hi! My name is Ellyn, owner of Embrace Occupational Therapy, LLC., board certified pediatric occupational therapist, certified breastfeeding specialist, infant massage instructor, and infant family specialist. Throughout my career I’ve worked in a variety of settings with an emphasis in pediatrics, including the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), mom baby unit, pediatric home health and early intervention. 

Alongside all of that, I am first and foremost a mom. Not too long ago I was a first time mother who found herself in the midsts of all things parenthood. I found the dichotomy that came with motherhood overwhelming. Experiencing the highest of highs of being a new mom, all while experiencing the anxiety and uncertainty all at the same time. 

My business was rooted from a deep passion in the work that I do, combined with my own personal journey into motherhood. I strongly believe that you are the expert of your child. Does that mean you don’t have questions? No. Does that mean you don’t have doubts? Also no. I believe that your gut-feeling instincts matter and I am here to remind you, you don’t have to wait for permission to get the support you deserve. 

A little bit more about Ellyn

I grew up in Iowa and moved to Colorado after grad school in 2017 with my husband. Together, we are raising our 2.5 year old daughter, 3 month old son and our spunky rescue dog. When I’m not working, I enjoy listening to audiobooks/podcasts, spending time outside whether exploring our beautiful mountains or walking around the neighborhood, traveling with my family, and taking a yoga or barre class. 

  • “Ellyn was my daughter’s Occupational Therapist from when she was about 4 months old until she was 3 years old. Ellyn consistently provided knowledgeable guidance through each developmental milestone and/or challenge, for both my daughter and me. Her sessions were engaging and fun! They were quickly the highlight of my daughter’s week! I felt more confident in my parenting after a session with Ellyn and felt as if there was at least one other person who knew my child as well as I did”

  • “We loved working with Ellyn! She is knowledgeable, caring and easy to work with. Her nurturing approach made me feel at ease throughout our time together. I truly appreciate all of the support she provided me and my baby. We would not be where we are today without her”

    — Mom of 2 month old

  • “I have really enjoyed working with Ellyn as our occupational therapist. She has been so passionate, positive and invested in our daughter.  She really takes the time to prepare activities that are individualized to our daughter’s specific needs. Ellyn is prompt, professional and open. She has truly been a joy to work with and I would recommend her to anyone!”

    — Sophia’s Mom

  • “We are deeply grateful for the care, professionalism, and dedication Ellyn has shown our son over the past nine months. She played an instrumental role in helping him meet and exceed many developmental milestones. Ellyn approaches her work with exceptional patience, warmth, and genuine compassion, creating a supportive and nurturing environment for both child and family. Her impact on our son’s growth and confidence has been truly meaningful, and we could not have asked for a better occupational therapist.”

  • “Ellyn has been so helpful with my son’s OT needs. He had a tongue tie and has experienced eating troubles since. Ellyn helped us with prior to getting his tie released and after. She has given us extremely helpful information throughout each phase of the process. Ellyn is professional and caring and really made us feel at ease. I would HIGHLY recommend her for all your baby’s occupational therapy needs!”

    - Jessica

  • Our family had the absolute best experience with Embrace Occupational Therapy- if you are looking for OT services for your child, then I cannot recommend working with Ellyn enough! “My daughter required extensive feeding therapy; prior to our time with Ellyn, we worked with multiple other providers that were just not the right fit for our family. I feel so fortunate that we found Ellyn, as my daughter quickly began to see so many improvements in her feeding, even at the very first visit. Ellyn made sure to address our goals as a family, meet us where we were currently at, and progress my daughter’s therapy in a way that we felt comfortable with. I truly do not know where we would be today without Ellyn’s help- but we are currently feeding my daughter without any restrictions at all, and can finally enjoy meals out as a family, which was our ultimate goal! Many thanks to Embrace Occupational Therapy!”
