Laura helped us take care of our baby for the first 6-16 weeks of his life. She took such great care of him and helped us develop healthy sleep habits for him early on, as well as diagnose issues and troubleshoot regressions as they came up (and there are a lot of them in that first year!). She was also so easy to work with, and very understanding of how difficult these early weeks can be on the parents. I would give Laura ten stars on here if I could!

I cannot recommend Nicole enough if you are looking for postpartum doula support! Nicole started with us the second night we got home from the hospital with our first baby and worked with us for months after as we adjusted to our new normal. In addition to caring for our daughter overnight so we could get some much needed rest, she helped me with establishing a strong breastfeeding relationship, setting a pumping schedule, establishing a nighttime and morning routine for our daughter and provided hands-on instruction in how to generally care for a newborn. Nicole is such a wonderful, caring person. Our daughter loved her and she’s truly became part of our family. She strikes the perfect balance between sharing her expertise and following our lead as parents. She has a wealth of knowledge about breastfeeding and I credit her for how smooth my breastfeeding journey gone. In addition to quickly building a strong relationship with our daughter, she also cares for my husband and I and talks to us regularly about setting up systems so that we can make sure we are still taking care of ourselves and connecting as a couple. She really does support the entire family. I truly don't know how we would have survived those first months home without Nicole. If you work with her to help care for your family, you'll have a much richer parenting experience.

Hi! I’m Katherine! I’m a newer doula looking to gain more experience. With over four years of nanny experience, most recently caring for infants, I'm excited to expand my schedule outside my current nanny position to focus on postpartum doula work. I absolutely love being with families, nurturing babies, and supporting birthing parents. This work isn't just a job; it's where I belong. As a loving and intentional doula, my support is rooted in the understanding that welcoming a new baby is a significant transition for every family. While I enjoy music, animals, and spending time with my family, birthwork is a true passion that deeply integrates into my personal life.

Katherine is a wonderful nanny because she connects naturally with children and makes them feel safe and supported. Her patience allows her to handle any situation with calm confidence, even on the busiest days. She brings genuine understanding to every interaction, meeting kids exactly where they are. Above all, she is consistently reliable, giving families peace of mind knowing they can always count on her.

I cannot speak highly enough of Eldrid's invaluable support during my postpartum recovery. After my C-section, she became an indispensable part of our household, seamlessly managing tasks that allowed me to focus on healing and bonding with my newborn. Eldrid not only cooked delicious and nutritious meals that nourished our family (by the way, she makes the BEST lactation chocolate chip cookies and tapioca pudding), but she also ensured our home was consistently tidy and organized. Her attention to detail in laundry and housekeeping meant I could rest without worry. The soothing massages she provided for my feet, shoulders, neck, and hands were incredibly therapeutic and helped relieve the tension that comes with new motherhood. Beyond the physical care, Eldrid went above and beyond by taking expert care of our baby, allowing me precious moments to nap, shower, or simply take a solo walk for much-needed self-care. Eldrid's understanding and compassionate demeanor made me feel supported and understood during those overwhelming first weeks as a new mom. I remember when I had my first experience with breast engorgement. I was terrified and texted Eldrid, and she immediately knew the fix and brought over some cabbage leaves to help manage the pain. Eldrid's dedication to both my baby's well-being and my own was evident in every interaction. She listened attentively to my concerns and offered invaluable guidance and reassurance. Her nurturing presence not only eased the transition into motherhood but also fostered a sense of confidence and empowerment in my new role. I am profoundly grateful to Eldrid for her unwavering support and expertise during a pivotal time in our lives. Her professionalism, kindness, and genuine care have left an indelible mark on our family's journey. I wholeheartedly recommend Eldrid to any parent seeking compassionate and knowledgeable postpartum care. My family misses her greatly!

I became a doula to not only heal from my traumatic birth expirence but also to help others hopefully avoid one all together. We as moms don't always have a village and if we do they might not have all the facts . I want to be that village for your family and help YOU make the best choices for YOUR family and YOUR baby.

"We had a homebirth after my traumatic hospital birth and she clarified everything for me . She made the environment so calming and powerful that I honestly had *almost* no pain up until transition. We did the gold plan and it was worth every penny especially with a goody bag on babies "birthday" " - copied and pasted for the client by the owner

I have been working in women's health for over 25 years, first as a nurse, and now as a certified birth doula and childbirth educator. I am passionate about teaching and love talking about the amazingness of birth. Toward that end, I am always continuing my own education as it relates to creating comfort in pregnancy and birth, breastfeeding, and postpartum mental health. I will encourage you to develop your understanding of this process, as well as your tools for relaxation of your mind and body. I realize that birth is a great unknown, which can be a challenging place for us to inhabit. Cultivating a sense of openness and curiosity for how your birth will unfold is one of your most powerful tools. I truly believe that a satisfying birth experience is one in which you have the support and information you need to make the decisions that are right for you. Birth is an extraordinary expression of who we are, and who our babies are, and I have always felt privileged to walk alongside a family as they meet the challenges and joys that mark this profound transition.

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.
