You deserve healing & happiness

YOU DON’T HAVE TO HOLD IT ALL TOGETHER

The Heart Behind Wild Wellness

The juniper tree is a symbol of resilience, nourishment, and shelter. One of the hardiest trees, it can grow and thrive in harsh conditions while offering medicinal berries and protection to the life around it. The sun represents the life-giving energy that helps us grow, heal, and find our way forward.

These symbols reflect the heart of Wild Wellness: supporting mothers through one of life’s most vulnerable and often overlooked seasons. I meet mothers exactly where they are, offering two doors into the same home: hands-on postpartum care and inclusive outdoor community.

Whether through gentle, in-home support or opportunities to connect with nature and other mothers, Wild Wellness creates a place to land when motherhood feels overwhelming or isolating. Like the juniper, I believe in the strength that grows when we are nourished and supported. And like the shelter it provides, we want every mother to have a place where she can rest and find connection.

Because no mother should have to navigate postpartum alone.

Hi, I'm Autumn!

Postpartum doula, nature therapy guide, mother of two, and lifelong lover of the outdoors.

Raised in the mountains of Detroit, Oregon, my connection to nature has always been part of who I am. After navigating six years of postpartum mood disorders following the birth of my second child, I found healing, peace, and a sense of myself again through time outdoors and connection with other women.

What started as something I needed for myself grew into something I wanted to share. I've since hosted dozens of community events, including the popular Mom & Me Hike + Yoga series, and countless free hikes, bringing now hundreds of women and families together on the trails and helping them build confidence, connection, and a sense of belonging outdoors.

My experiences also shaped my work as a postpartum doula. I believe mothers deserve more than basic recovery support. They deserve to be cared for, heard, supported, and reminded that they matter, too.

Today, Wild Wellness brings these two passions together: hands-on postpartum care and inclusive outdoor community. Whether I'm supporting a family at home or gathering women on the trails, my hope is always the same: to help people feel a little less alone, a little more capable, and more connected to themselves and others.

KIND WORDS FROM KIND PEOPLE

  • Jen & James

    When our daughter Vivienne arrived, my wife Jen and I quickly realized we needed support from someone experienced and nurturing. Autumn exceeded our expectations in every way possible.  From the moment she stepped into our home, Autumn brought a calming, gentle presence that both our baby and we immediately responded to. Her knowledge about newborn care was evident in how confidently she handled our little Viv, giving us the peace of mind to actually rest and recover.  What sets Autumn apart is her perfect balance of professionalism and warmth. She's incredibly caring and attentive to not just our baby's needs, but to ours as parents as well. While she cared for Vivienne, Jen and I were able to catch up on much-needed sleep, complete household tasks, and simply take moments to breathe and adjust to our new reality.  Autumn's grace under pressure and natural affinity with children is remarkable. She anticipated needs before we even expressed them and offered helpful suggestions without ever being intrusive. The genuine joy she takes in her work shines through in every interaction.  For new parents seeking someone trustworthy and skilled to help during those challenging early weeks, I cannot recommend Autumn highly enough. She truly became an essential part of our postpartum journey, and we will absolutely be calling her again when we need support.  5 stars across the board! 

  • Zach & Breanne

     I cannot recommend Autumn highly enough! When our baby Jaxson was just a few weeks old, I hired her as my postpartum doula, and she was an absolute lifesaver. Her calm, nurturing presence made all the difference during a time when I was still healing and adjusting to life with a newborn.  From the moment she arrived, Autumn brought a sense of peace and confidence to our home. She gave expert advice on safe newborn sleep which was my biggest stress and she was always there to lend a helping hand with anything I needed. Her knowledge and gentle guidance gave me the space to rest and recover, which was so important during those early days.  What truly sets Autumn apart is her warmth and compassion. She didn’t just help with the typical newborn care; she helped me feel more confident in my new role as a mom. She also brought me my first Starbucks that I’d had in months and it was such a huge pick me up. Her support was truly holistic, and I am beyond grateful for the comfort and reassurance she provided during such a vulnerable time.  If you’re looking for someone who is not only skilled and professional but also kind and compassionate, Autumn is the perfect choice. I’ll forever be thankful for her support during such a special, yet challenging, time in our lives.

  • Jenny

    Autumn was so thoughtful as our postpartum doula. She was organized and prepped when we first met and had helpful suggestions of what she could do to help me out as I was recovering. She was a huge help to our family and we found something that worked for us, she was great with our baby and I felt relieved knowing when she was coming over. She has amazing connections to additional resources and other contacts that we asked about navigating newborn life. We are so thankful to have had her in our journey!

  • M & S

    We were fortunate enough to have Autumn as our postpartum doula. We are first time parents and we wanted support during our first few weeks. Autumn provided her knowledge and expertise as we navigated this new role. She was very warm and supportive. This was our first experience with a postpartum doula and Autumn really helped us by providing a checklist of all the services she could provide. Autumn was so helpful with baby care questions, helping us with daily chores (more baby laundry than you can ever expect!), and checking in on our well-being. Her care also allowed us to nap which was so appreciated! We can't recommend her highly enough and have such gratitude for all she has done for our family!!

I’M IN IT OR THE WHOLE EVOLUTIOn

Whether you need someone in your living room at 3am or a trail to walk with people who get it, you don’t have to figure this season out by yourself.
