They say if you love what you do, you never work a day in your life. I found my passion as a postpartum doula and have not worked a day since. In the current culture parents have so much pressure to be perfect and do it on their own. I have made it my mission to educate parents on the benefits of having support during the fourth trimester, and that it truly does take a village.

Hi everyone! I'm Meghan. Since 2014 I have had the honor of serving many San Diego families as a birth and postpartum doula. I have extensive experience in home birth, birth center, and hospital settings. I have also built an incredible network of amazing San Diego resources and care providers to ensure that you have a holistically supported pregnancy and postpartum season. My practice is family centered and evidence based. My goal is to make sure that you have the information and resources to make informed decisions. I believe that birth is a transformative rite of passage and that the experience can be calm, peaceful, and empowered. I look forward to talking with you about your birth :)

My births would not have been so amazing if Meghan was not my doula. She seemed to know what I needed before I asked, and seemed to say exactly what I needed to hear when I needed to hear it. Knowing she was there helped me get through each surge until I welcomed my babies into my arms.

Hyping mamas up to receive the care they deserve is my jam! My professional training as a Certified Lactation Counselor, Birth, and Postpartum Doula has allowed me to focus on my caregiving skills and love for helping families make smooth transitions through such a new time in their life. As a woman of color, I know how important it is to feel seen and heard instead of being considered just another number. When we work together, I can assure you that you will receive the care and attention that your family deserves. This is the time to be nurtured and tended to instead of stressing about reading the right books or if you’re feeding your baby too much/too little. I’m your guide to assist with anything from creating a birth plan to meal prepping for your family during early postpartum. When you’re ready to enjoy this process and receive luxury care, don’t hesitate to reach out to me!

I am passionate about helping women have strong, active, and comfortable pregnancies, maximizing empowerment in labor, and helping women recover optimally postpartum. I utilize all my training as a physical therapist and my post-doctoral training in pregnancy and the pelvic floor to help women keep a strong core/body, eliminate pain during pregnancy, and prevent common problems like bladder leakage, back pain, core weakness, prolapse, and Diastasis Recti. I completed my Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2011 and worked several years in outpatient orthopedics while pursuing specialization in pelvic floor dysfunction and women’s health PT. Even prior to having my first baby in 2016 I had deep compassion for the unspoken physical trials of new mothers, which fostered the desire to offer natural, conservative treatment options for issues that uniquely impact women. I founded SHEFit because I believe that quality care requires personalized, one-on-one attention. I and my team are dedicated to hearing your story and creating a treatment plan based on your unique situation, goals, and priorities. Each PT on my staff has completed hundreds of hours of pregnancy and pelvic floor related continuing education, and is an expert in this field. In an effort to spread the word about pelvic PT, I periodically lecture for fitness professionals, healthcare professionals, birth centers, and the public throughout San Diego County. When not treating patients I enjoy time with my 3 children, running, pilates , weightlifting, hiking, cycling on the boardwalk, travelling, and just relaxing in the San Diego sunshine!

Hello! I am a certified perinatal mental health professional through Postpartum Support International. I have been working with families of young children on and off since 2013. I have my Master’s in Clinical Social Work and working towards my licensure. My own personal struggles in child birth and postpartum led me down a journey of healing. I recognized the struggle it was to find a provider that understood my mental health issues regarding motherhood & my culture’s influence. I decided to return back to the mental health field little by little after dedicating 6 years to my children. Seeing the overwhelming need in my community that the pandemic brought. I believe in decolonizing Maternal Mental Health & addressing it holistically through mind, body, spirit, community, & culture.

Welcome! I am so glad you are here. My name is Katharine Wingert and I am a birth doula serving Murrieta and Temecula Valley. As a mother of three daughters, my own transformative journey into doula work began during my first pregnancy in 2017. Having experienced three very different births with each of my daughters, I found my passion for supporting mothers deepening with each unique experience. These encounters ignited within me a profound desire to offer compassionate, personalized support throughout pregnancy, birth, and the fourth trimester. Matrescence, the journey of becoming a mother, further inspired me to embrace the role of "mothering the mother." I'm dedicated to providing unwavering support and empathy to mothers and their partners as they navigate this beautiful and transformative journey of childbirth. It's an honor to be a part of your experience, offering guidance and assistance every step of the way.
