Her passion for physiological birth and the families she serves is evident in the meticulous care with which she approaches her work, always striving for excellence and seeking out opportunities for professional growth and development. Autumn’s dedication to helping families navigate through the perinatal and postpartum periods through unbiased and evidence based care is commendable to say the least.
Autumn possesses a natural ability to convey complex concepts in a manner that is both engaging and accessible to parents of varying levels of understanding. She has a calm and empowering quality about her that creates a very safe and inviting space for learning in what can be such a sensitive and sacred period in people’s lives.

"As a Family Medicine physician with a Master’s degree in Epidemiology, evidence-based practice, community advocacy, and inclusivity are passions in both my professional and personal lives. In my professional training I had 3 years of extensive Maternity care training and personally delivered more than 30 babies, taught and supervised junior Residents in Labor & Delivery, was ALSO certified, and provided regular prenatal care, and facilitated CenteringPregnancy group prenatal classes. When my partner and I were blessed in becoming pregnant, I had no question that I needed a doula on my team, and my extensive search in the well resourced San Diego birth workers community lead me directly to Autumn. Our overall experience with Autumn is a prime example of her shining character, reputation in our community, and her commitment to evidence-based care."
- Chevon, Birth & Postpartum Client
Autumn has sought a multitude of licenses and training experiences to ensure that she is extremely well-rounded and versed in up-to-date evidence-based care. She is optimized in guiding evidence-based maternity care decisions and facilitating optimal outcomes in mothers and newborns. Autumn runs her reputable Sweet Peas Baby, LLC and goes above and beyond through her commitment to social justice by volunteering to provide support to mothers and families who cannot afford doula care.
In addition to her education, training and experience, Autumn's empathy, compassion and professionalism are among the best. She establishes a palpably safe space for her clients while providing them the support, guidance and education they need to safely and confidently welcome their babies into the world.
It is without reservation that I recommend Autumn.

"In those early days Autumn taught me so much about the ins and outs; breastfeeding, sleeping, and soothing. But also made me think of myself and my recovery. She gave more than practical knowledge and became a friend I was excited to see. She provided nourishing meals and supportive conversation that empowered my postpartum journey. Additionally, Autumn was able to adapt her teaching styles to both my and my husband’s personality knowing we needed different support. We both came to value our individual time with her."
-Lauren, Birth & Postpartum Client
"As doulas we hold a unique position in the birth space we have been invited into and I had the honor of witnessing firsthand Autumn compassionately assisting many birthing people and their family
members. She created trust and respect with her confidence, knowledge and kind manner. She acted as a trusted team member not only for the client but for the hospital staff as well. In hospital staff environments Autumn soared as a non-judgmental support person who allowed everyone to feel at ease and to be seen with dignity and respect."
