About Me

My name is Noelle Voltz-Mongold CD, PAIL-P, and I’m a Full Spectrum Doula serving the Shenandoah Valley, including Harrisonburg, Rockingham County, Augusta County, and Charlottesville. For localities outside of my area, I offer virtual services. I am a BEST Certified Doula, FertilityAdvocate, Advanced PAILAdvocate, LactationAdvocate, and HerbalAdvocate. I am also a VA State Certified Doula.

I have always been interested in birth even as a child. The older I got, the more I felt a strong calling towards birthwork. My journey into birth and reproductive support began in 2020 in Northern Virginia. I took my first Doula Training, and I was able to walk alongside individuals during some of the most powerful and vulnerable moments of their lives.

After moving to the Valley and settling into this beautiful community, I founded Embers of Empowerment Doula Services — a name that reflects my core mission: to help ignite the inner strength that already lives within you. I believe that everyone holds embers of empowerment; sometimes, we just need the right support to help those embers grow into a steady, roaring fire.

Whether you're navigating pregnancy, birth, postpartum, abortion, loss, or any part of your reproductive journey, my role is to ensure you feel empowered, heard, and respected every step of the way.

I’ve trained with organizations that deeply value inclusive, evidence-based, and trauma-informed care, including Bebo Mia, and I hold certification through BEST Doula Training and Nneka Hall. I am especially passionate about supporting individuals and families who have historically had less access to or representation within doula care — including BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ folks, single parents, young parents, and those navigating complex or non-traditional experiences.

At the heart of my work is the belief that support should be affirming, nonjudgmental, and rooted in your unique needs and values. You deserve a space where your voice matters and your choices are honored.
