Our Consultants

The midwives at Dar a Luz consult and collaborate with many other providers throughout the Albuquerque area and surrounding communities. We collaborate with nurse-midwives and physicians at Lovelace Women’s Hospital, Presbyterian and University Hospital. We also collaborate with perinatologists, chiropractors, mental health providers, acupuncturists, and physical and occupational therapists. We will help guide our clients to the best providers for complimentary therapies as well as additional medical care outside of our scope of practice. None of our consultants are on staff and do not care for our clients at the center.
