She initially began advertising her work by word of mouth and then moved on to seek other promotional options. When TV personality Brooke Burke started a new website she reached out. Autumn quickly received an email asking her to write for the site and a followup phone call one week later asking if she would be interested in shooting short workout videos with Brooke for the site. From there, she started training at Equinox, which is a very high-end gym with celebrity clients. %u201cMy reputation was growing, I had been written up in a few magazines and newspapers and had been on Brooks%u2019 website for a few years, and people started asking for me.%u201dfter training for ten years, she created a product that was designed to help people with portion control.
