MY STORY

Hey, I’m Autumn, and I’m passionate about helping women experience a birth that is healing, empowering, and redemptive.

For nearly a decade, I’ve been a nurse specializing in labor and delivery. Early in my career, I saw birth through the lens of medicine, something that needed to be managed and treated. But everything changed when I gave birth to my first child. I went into that experience unprepared, and what should have been a beautiful, life-changing moment became traumatic. The birth left me feeling disempowered, scared, and disconnected from the experience and my body.

That’s when I started to see obstetrics differently. I realized birth isn’t just a medical event, it’s a deeply personal, spiritual, and transformative journey. I began to approach my nursing career from a more natural, holistic perspective, learning how to support women in a way that honored their bodies, their choices, and their emotional well-being.

When I became pregnant with my second baby, I knew I had to prepare for something different. I was determined to have a redemptive birth—one that healed the scars from my first experience and filled me with peace and joy. Through prayer, careful preparation, and the unwavering support of those around me, I achieved the most beautiful, faith-filled birth experience. It was everything I had prayed for and beyond!

That journey is why I became a doula. I want to help other women experience the same healing, empowerment, and redemption that I found in my own birth. I believe every woman deserves to feel confident, informed, and supported as she navigates her own birth experience—whether it's a fresh start or a chance to trust yourself again.

I’m a Christian, a wife, and a mom of two amazing kids. When I’m not supporting women through their birth journeys, you’ll find me enjoying the outdoors, spending time with my family and friends, sipping coffee, jamming away to toddler tunes with my three year old, or watching sitcoms. I’m here to walk alongside you, offering the care, guidance, and support you need to experience the birth you’ve always dreamed of—one that heals, empowers, and fills you with faith and strength.

If you’re ready to experience a redemptive, empowering birth, I’d love to support you on this beautiful journey.

With love & gratitude,

Autumn Burns, BSN, RN (Birth Doula)
