Hi, my name is Autumn! As a postpartum doula it is my honor to take care of you during your postpartum period. It is my goal that every mother have a smooth transition whether you are a new mom or a mom of more than one child. I am a mother to three wonderful children ages 4,2, and 10 months. After the birth of my first child I sat there in the hospital bed thinking, "what now? what do I do with this baby?" It was a terrible feeling, and in that moment I had never felt more alone. Shortly after I developed postpartum anxiety and postpartum depression. These feelings were really challenging to deal with and taught me that it is important to seek postpartum support early on. I want other people to know that they do not have to go through the postpartum period alone, I will be there every step of the way. I look forward to getting to know you! ​
