Welcome!
Congratulations on your pregnancy! We hope you'll find answers to many of your questions about doulas here.
Doulas of the Southwest is a group of independent, private doulas who meet together to educate expectant parents on the role of a doula. We are not a collective, co-op, or an agency, but an affiliation of private doulas who support each other's work and provide information on perinatal topics and doula care in the greater Albuquerque community.
We welcome the opportunity to answer your questions by phone, email, or contact form.
