Attends hospital births? All Hospitals
As a doula, I am confident and well-prepared to support you in a hospital setting. With nearly a decade of experience as a labor and delivery nurse, I bring deep knowledge of the medical environment and the birth process. This experience allows me to work seamlessly with hospital staff while advocating for your needs, ensuring you receive the best possible care during your birth. Whether you're planning a natural birth, a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean), or have a different birth plan in mind, I’m here to provide continuous emotional, physical, and informational support throughout your hospital birth experience. I am also VBAC-certified, and I specialize in supporting families through this journey with confidence and care.
Attends birth center births? All Birth Centers
I am confident and well-prepared to support you in a birth center environment. With nearly a decade of experience as a labor and delivery nurse, I bring in-depth knowledge of the birth process and a strong understanding of medical protocols. This experience allows me to provide calm, reassuring support while collaborating with midwives and birth center staff.
Attends home births? Any Home Birth
I am confident and well-prepared to support you through a home birth. With nearly a decade of experience as a labor and delivery nurse, I bring a strong understanding of the birth process and the ability to adapt to any situation that may arise. My experience allows me to offer calm, knowledgeable support while working closely with your midwife and any other support people you have.
BA/BS
As a labor and delivery nurse, I have had the privilege of caring for over 1,000 families as they bring their babies earthside. Throughout my career, I’ve seen firsthand the staggering statistic that 1 in 3 people describe their birth experience as traumatic. It’s been studied and proven that continuous labor support from a doula significantly increases the likelihood of a positive birth experience. This is exactly why I became a doula – to help families have a birth experience they can look back on with joy and confidence. Currently, my goal is to support one family per month, allowing me to open up time in my schedule for pro bono work. I want to ensure that people who may not otherwise have access to a doula can still experience continuous labor support during their birth.
Fee: $2,400 (All-Inclusive) This flat fee covers all of my services for your birth journey, including: Birth Doula Support: Personalized care and guidance throughout your labor and delivery. Birth Photography: Capturing beautiful moments during your birth experience. 2 Prenatal Visits: Preparing and planning for your birth, answering questions, and discussing preferences. On-Call for Birth (from 38 weeks gestation): Available 24/7 starting at 38 weeks, ensuring I'm there when you need me. Labor Support: Continuous emotional, physical, and informational support during your labor. 1 Postpartum Visit: Checking in after birth to offer support, resources, and guidance during your early days with baby. Everything you need for a positive birth experience, all wrapped into one simple, comprehensive fee.
Post a testimonial for Autumn Burns

I cannot recommend Autumn enough! Choosing her as our doula was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our birth experience. From the moment we met her, we knew we were in good hands. This birth was so much easier than my first, and I attribute that to the incredible support and guidance Autumn provided.
Autumn is not only compassionate and caring, but she is also incredibly knowledgeable. She made me feel empowered and informed at every step of the process. She supported me emotionally, physically, and mentally, ensuring that I was always comfortable and confident in my decisions. She truly went above and beyond to make sure I felt supported, cared for, and prepared.
What made Autumn the obvious choice for us was her extensive background and expertise. With her certifications and previous experience as a labor and delivery nurse, she has been present at thousands of births, which gave us complete confidence in her abilities. Her calm, experienced presence made all the difference during the birth, and we felt so reassured having her by our side.
Autumn not only helped me through the physical aspects of birth but also took the time to teach me about my body, what to expect, and how to handle every stage with grace. She is incredibly knowledgeable and taught me so much, making me feel more confident in myself and my abilities.
I feel incredibly grateful to have had Autumn as part of our birth team, and I honestly can’t recommend her enough to anyone seeking a doula. If you want a supportive, experienced, and knowledgeable professional by your side, Autumn is the one!

My husband and I knew we wanted a doula due to not having family close by and we knew we would need the support but it was hard finding one that we connected with until Autumn appeared. She has been an answered prayer. She has not offered medical professionalism and insight throughout the entirety of our pregnancy and now postpartum, but she has also now become a part of our family. She has been absolutely incredible. If you are looking for a doula, look no longer! We are so grateful for her and all she has done for our family.
