Las Cruces Doula
Las Cruces Doula is a doula collective serving families across southern New Mexico and the El Paso, TX area.
Care grounded in dignity, trust, and autonomy.
Our care honors each person's culture, lived experience, and choices across pregnancy, birth, postpartum, lactation, abortion, miscarriage, and other reproductive life transitions.
No cost to you with New Mexico Medicaid. We also accept TRICARE, some insurance plans, and HSA/FSA, along with self-pay, payment plans, sliding scale, and trade or barter.

What We Offer
Full-spectrum doula care is shaped by what each family needs in the moment.
Birth Doula + HypnoBirthing
Prenatal visits, continuous labor and birth support, and postpartum follow-up, paired with our HypnoBirthing childbirth series. Add HypnoBirthing to any birth package for $300, or at no cost for Medicaid members. We support home births, VBACs, and hospital births.
Pregnancy, Birth, & Postpartum Support
Continuous, relationship-based care through pregnancy, labor, birth, and the fourth trimester, so you feel informed, grounded, and accompanied at every stage. Whether you're birthing at home, in a hospital, or at a birth center, we're with you. Covered by NM Medicaid, with self-pay and flexible options available.
Miscarriage, Abortion, Loss, & Reproductive Health Support
Compassionate, judgment-free support through pregnancy loss, abortion, and infant or child loss, honoring your experience and your pace. We also offer support for reproductive experiences like IUD insertion or removal and gynecologic surgery. Standalone 2-hour visits are $200, or covered by NM Medicaid. Families traveling to access care are welcome, and we offer support before, during, and after care in New Mexico.
Childbirth Education
Evidence-informed, culturally responsive education that helps you and your support people feel prepared and confident heading into birth. Our HypnoBirthing series is offered four times a year. Reach out for upcoming series dates. Cost: $300, or $50/month. No cost to NM Medicaid members.
Infant Feeding, Newborn Care, & Sleep
Personalized feeding support that meets your goals, including breastfeeding, chestfeeding, combo-feeding, pumping, or formula feeding. We offer hands-on guidance as you adjust to life with a new baby, from feeding and soothing to everyday rhythms, plus gentle, family-centered sleep support that respects your values and your baby's needs.
We provide individualized support across pregnancy, birth, postpartum, lactation, and reproductive life transitions. Care may be layered, ongoing, and responsive rather than limited to a single moment or service.
Care Pathways
We want cost to be a pathway to care, not a barrier. Many families pay nothing out of pocket, and there are flexible options for everyone else.
Every family's care is built around their own needs. The options below are starting points, not a complete menu. We can combine visits, add support, or shape something new with you. Access care when and where you need it.
New Mexico Medicaid: $0 to you
NM Medicaid (Turquoise Care) covers doula support during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum, and after pregnancy loss or abortion. That includes our standalone visits. You'll need a recommendation from your doctor, midwife, or other licensed provider, and we can help with that. We can bill NM Medicaid fee-for-service and these Turquoise Care plans: Presbyterian, Molina, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, and BCBS New Mexico. Not enrolled yet? You can apply anytime at YES.NM.GOV.
Birth Doula: 2-1-2 Plan. Starting at $2,000 (Medicaid-billable)
Personalized feeding support that meets your goals, including breastfeeding, chestfeeding, combo-feeding, pumping, or formula feeding. We offer hands-on guidance as you adjust to life with a new baby, from feeding and soothing to everyday rhythms, plus gentle, family-centered sleep support that respects your values and your baby's needs.
Full-Service Doula Care: Up to $3,300 (Medicaid-billable)
Up to nine 2-hour visits across pregnancy and postpartum, plus continuous labor and birth support. Add HypnoBirthing at no cost for Medicaid members, $300 or $50/month self pay.

One-on-one support when you need it: prenatal or postpartum visits; miscarriage, abortion, and loss support; and other reproductive experiences such as IUD insertion or removal and gynecologic surgery. No package required.
