Autumn
Cunningham
Birth & Postpartum Doula,
Birthing From Within Certified Mentor
After the eye-opening birth of her son in 2000, Autumn felt called to seek out ways to deepen the experience of birth. Shortly after the birth of her daughter in 2003, she was inspired to become a birth doula. Continuing on her path, she was fortunate to train under Pam England, author and creator of Birthing From Within and became a Certified Birthing From Within Mentor in 2006.
In 2007, Autumn began work for the Hennepin County Medical Center Doula Program, enabling her to work with families of many backgrounds and cultures. Through mentoring classes, attending births as a private and HCMC doula , she has been blessed to be witness to so many families’ journeys through birth and parenting. Seeing mothers, fathers and babies be born, she has come to believe that birth is so much more than the when, how and where. Birth is opening our hearts, minds and bodies to bring a new person into this world. What could be more awesome than that? When she is not immersed in birth, Autumn is discovering new ways of healing. Autumn lives in south Minneapolis with her husband Neil, and their two children, Rainy and Luna.
