About me
Megan Wheeler C-FSD, C-CBE, CYT
Hello, my name is Megan and I am a Certified Child Birth Educator, Full-Spectrum Doula and Perinatal Yoga Teacher.
I was born and raised in Northern New Mexico and after moving around the US and internationally for 20 years, I am happy to be back in New Mexico with my three kids and my husband.
Offering support for birthing people has been a longtime dream of mine and I am excited to be doing this work in the Albuquerque area.
All of my offerings are trauma-informed and inclusive, meaning I teach and support all kinds of people and families through all kinds of reproductive and life situations. I believe that pregnancy, birth and postpartum are significant and life changing periods in a person’s life and deserve to be treated with respect. I center the birthing person and their family through education and support, so that your experience is the best and most fulfilling possible.

“We hired Megan as our birth doula after meeting with a few different doulas from bigger local organizations. Her personal and warm approach, services offered, caring and thoughtful demeanor, and wealth of knowledge with unbiased education really drew us in to her.”

How can a doula help support me?
A full-spectrum doula is a non-medical care provider who can offer support to a full range of reproductive and family building experiences, including pre-conception, pregnancy, birth and postpartum as well as pregnancy loss, abortion and adoption.
Doulas support not just the birthing person, but their partners and support people as well. I offer personalized, non-judgmental support for you and anyone else there who is supporting you. I don’t work for the hospital or doctor, I am there for you.
What kinds of birth
do you support?
I can support you during any kind of birth. Whether that be at home with a midwife or at a hospital with an epidural. I have supported births without major interventions, births that start with an induction of labor, births that involve epidurals and even C-section births. If you aren’t yet sure what kind of birth you would like, I can help with that too.
What other services do you offer?
In addition to being a certified birth and postpartum doula, I am also a certified prenatal yoga teacher and childbirth educator. I offer a prenatal yoga series taught in Corrales and private or small-group childbirth education.
