Birth Support

Expecting Couple
Family in the Kitchen

At this time, I have limited availability for in-person birth support services confined to the San Diego County area. Clients accepted by interview only.

Birth + 5 Days Postpartum/Newborn Care Specialist Support: $3,000

My clients get more than a birth doula when they work with me! My all-inclusive support package offers new parents unmatched continuity of care! You can depend on evidence-based information and my confidence-building support throughout your pregnancy, during your birth, AND in your initial days of recovery and life with a newborn!

Having Autumn as our doula was very helpful and I am SO thankful to have had her very sweet and encouraging presence. She made the intensive process go well and was extremely helpful with newborn care, too!
