We were lucky enough to work with Madison after the birth of our twin girls as a night doula. Honestly, without her visits once or twice a week, I don't know how we would have made it through the 4th trimester. Madison is prompt, extremely helpful, and has a wealth of knowledge. But most importantly her calming presence put as at ease knowing we had a good nights rest ahead of us and the girls would be in good hands. I can't recommend Madison enough and will definitely be reaching out should we have more children in the future.

I serve all of San Diego and the surrounding areas and provide support at home births, hospital births, and birthing center births. My commitment to my clients is to provide you with advocacy and support for whatever you decide your birthing experience should be. I have supported all types of birth experiences, including unmedicated births, epidural births, C Sections, VBACs, gestational diabetes, placenta previa, “geriatric” pregnancies, teen births, and many more. From our first encounter, I strive to make you feel safe, supported, encouraged, and listened to. My background as licensed marriage and family therapist helps me to integrate skills of therapeutic support into your pregnancy experience. Additionally, I strongly believe that your birth partner is one of your greatest assets. To this end, I encourage all partners to be involved during our journey together.

I’ve been a labor and delivery nurse for the past 7 years and have attended over 1600 births. I’ve worked at three top hospitals including Cedar Sinai in Beverly Hills, Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach, and Scripps hospital, La Jolla. I am a RNC-OB, registered nurse certified in obstetrics as well as a lactation education counselor. I’ve taught labor and delivery at the university level and find teaching very rewarding. Education is at the heart of women’s empowerment. At Rising Lotus Birth, I provide support to pregnant women throughout all phases of care including prenatal visits, birth doula services, and postpartum visits. You may be wondering why I became a doula while still practicing in the hospital setting. My explanation is always that over the years I’ve noticed an overwhelming need for more patient advocacy, education, and birth support in order to achieve better birth outcomes. Birth is my passion. My goal is to help you achieve a better birth and postpartum experience!

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!

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.

Hey Mama! I'm Christianna, a doula, a placenta encapsulation specialist, and a childbirth enthusiast who serves mothers during their pregnancies and births. I have seen and passionately believe that a woman's body is built for birth. Not only are women's bodies designed for childbirth, but mothers get to participate in the miraculous way a living soul enters this world. Being alive is truly a miracle, and I love being able to be present for such a sacred moment when a human being is born. It is my pleasure to educate and protect women as they prepare for this life-altering event. Childbirth can be both an intense and a glorious experience. Together, we will work to address your fears, educate you on your options, and prepare you for a day you will never forget!

I live in OC with my three amazing children! If I’m not at a birth, you will find us at the beach surfing, playing, and enjoying the outdoors. I fell in love with all things birth when I became pregnant with my 1st child in 2008. As an avid reader and researcher, I made it my goal to learn everything I possibly could about the biology and physiology of birth, and how to have optimal health during and after pregnancy for both me and my baby. Like many first-time moms I have worked with, I had hesitations about giving birth to my 1st baby outside of a hospital setting. After all my research, classes, and conversations with midwives, I gained confidence in aiming for an unmedicated birthing experience. I found some lovely midwifes who had a midwifery ward in a hospital and gave birth to my 1st son unmedicated. Twenty-four hours of intense back labor from a posterior-positioned baby …but, I did it! My body actually did it! After birthing my first, statistically knowing it was the most challenging and longest labor, gave me confidence to choose home births for my second and third children. I had a successful home water birth with my second child and wanted to repeat that with my third. However, while laboring on the toilet with him, I suddenly dropped to my knees when he began to crown, and he became known as my bathroom floor “butter birth” baby :). Though I chose unmedicated births for myself, I do know it is not for everyone, which is more than OK! I quickly learned from my role as a doula that every woman’s body, medical history, and background are uniquely different. Many factors play into choosing the right birth for you. I am here to come alongside you, help you make an informed decision, and then support you every step of the way. I offer very personable and compassionate care. My approach is non-agenda-based, trauma-informed, and holistic-minded. No matter your history or past experiences, I am here to be a safe place for you. I will help educate, support, and advocate for you and your personal wishes. I look forward getting to know you and building a trusting relationship to where you feel 100% comfortable having me by your side for one of the biggest days of your life. 🙂 I am here for you!
