Angela Horn – Owner and Founder

Angela Horn has been a doula since 1997. In nearly three decades, she has supported more than 500 families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period in Tucson and southern Arizona. She founded Tucson Doulas eleven years ago with a simple belief: that families deserve consistent, experienced, professional support at every stage of the journey.

That belief has not changed.

Angela is an expert whose knowledge of pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period is called upon across the birth industry. She has written childbirth education curricula, infant feeding programs, and professional resources for organizations and colleagues around the world. Her evidence-based childbirth education curriculum, developed here in southern Arizona, is now taught by hospitals, birth centers, and independent educators globally.

She has been training doulas since 2015. Through her podcast Doulas of the Roundtable, now in its eighth season, she also mentors doulas across the globe.

She is currently building her own independent training programs for birthworkers.

She is a national conference speaker, a published contributor to the book Embodied Resistance, and has over two decades of experience as a labor doula, childbirth educator, and breastfeeding counselor.

Angela has spent years cultivating relationships with the doctors, midwives, nurses, and hospital administrators who serve Tucson families. Those relationships did not happen by accident. She understood early on that a doula who is trusted by the medical community is a more effective advocate for their clients. That trust has been earned visit by visit, birth by birth, over 27 years.

She has a special dedication to families navigating the postpartum period. Her own experience with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders shaped her understanding of how vulnerable that season can be, and how much the right support matters. It is personal for her. That is why she holds her team to such a high standard when it comes to postpartum care.

Angela has been married to Gil since 1993. They have three grown children and one grandchild, a baby girl who recently joined the family. Outside of birth work, she shares her home with four cats named Shadow, Luna, Winky, and Remus, two dogs named Maggie and Sirius, two rabbits named Evie and Lucifer, and Freya, the grand dog.

She is still the Research Queen of the Birth Industry. She would not have it any other way.
