Testimonial for Autumn Burns
We had the pleasure and gift of working with Autumn as our doula for the birth of our second child. I instantly felt an ease of being around her and talking with her . She provided us education to prepare us for labor , birth , and postpartum. Even though this wasn’t our first time, my husband and I learned so much and it helped us to feel better prepared. She created the space for me to process and talk through my first birth and postpartum experience. Her encouragement to listen to my instincts was always present. Both my husband and I felt she brought confidence and calm to each interaction and specifically in the hospital while laboring and birthing our son. Her knowledge and wisdom acquired as a labor and delivery nurse and her understanding of the hospital system really helped. She also created a peaceful and calm ambience through string lighting and music. I believe that her involvement and presence empowered me to listen to my instincts when it came to labor positions and advocating when it was time to push. We will forever be grateful for her support, care, and wisdom , which led to what I feel was a redemptive second birth experience. She also was able to capture some very special photographs of our labor, birth, and our son. Little details that we’ll always now remember. I highly recommend Autumn to anyone seeking a birth doula.
