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.

Hi, I’m Chloe Morin. Mother of two, a bonus mom of one, and now, a birth and postpartum doula. My journey into motherhood has shaped me in ways I never expected, revealing both the beauty and the deep vulnerability of bringing life into the world. I believe there are two moments in life when heaven meets earth—marriage and birth. Birth is raw, powerful, and life-changing, and no woman should have to navigate it alone. My passion is to stand with women in one of the most vulnerable times of their lives, offering support, advocacy, and a steady presence, no matter what their journey looks like. Beyond birth, I am dedicated to postpartum care that truly nurtures. The fourth trimester is just as important as birth itself, and every mother deserves care that honors her healing—physically, emotionally, and mentally. My goal is simple: to ensure women feel supported, seen, and strong in this transformative season of life. I would be honored to walk this journey with you.

I first found Hypnobabies Childbirth Hypnosis when I was pregnant with my first baby and working as a bedside nurse in a busy hospital postpartum unit. I knew my body was meant to give birth, but I felt the negativity and fear of those around me was preventing me from enjoying this transformative time in my life. Hypnobabies Childbirth Hypnosis gave me back my joy and even more. It gave me a confidence and excitement about birth that I didn't even know was possible. I went on to become a board certified lactation consultant and certified maternal newborn nurse and also attended many births as an L&D nurse. 11 years and 2 Hypnobabies of my own later, I am so happy to share this complete childbirth education class with my community and bring joy and love into the lives of birthing families.

I am a trained Australian Registered Nurse and Midwife, an early childhood RN and Nurse Educator.

I have always been someone who loves to take care of others. For family and friends, I was the one they’d call in an emergency, when someone is passing, when life decisions were being made. I went to college to become a nurse because I wanted to ensure I had a career where I could support people. God works in mysterious ways and I wasn’t able to apply for the nursing program at the college I went to. I had decided to get a degree in Health Systems Management and later, to do the accelerated nursing program. Plans don’t typically work on the way you dream and I found myself two kids later, 1 year too late, unable to apply for the accelerated nursing program. During this season, I had Andrew, our child that wasn’t birthed with the support of a doula, and I knew, being a doula was my answer. I’ve had felt unseen, unheard and unimportant when I was giving birth and I wanted to make sure that didn’t happen to others. I’m often get introduced as “Doula Jenn” and, I love it. I don’t just doula people through childbirth, I support through life. Parenthood is hard, marriages are hard, finding connection with friends is hard and I want to come alongside you in life. I’m an active member of the High Vibe Mom Tribe and I host virtual book clubs several times a year to support women through their marriages.
