Every step supported, and every moment remembered. Pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period can feel overwhelming and full of unknowns. Thoughtful, experienced support can make all the difference. Our team at My Doula Grand Rapids will help you each step of the way with emotional and physical support as well as evidence-based information. Of course we care about healthy outcomes, but we also care about your experience, your voice, and your story. -Lindsey Shigemoto https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c437c3163cb77766987c80/4b734bb3-e2e5-458f-b57b-ead4f55b840f/346A4242.jpg Home - A care model that just makes sense. At My Doula Grand Rapids, we utilize a shared care model. This means that you have two doulas who interact with your family as a team. We share in prenatal care, and education, plus we have a rotating on-call schedule, so you are guaranteed a well-rested doula who you know and trust. It is like having two doulas for the price of one. https://www.mydoulagr.com/pricing daily 0.75 2025-10-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c437c3163cb77766987c80/5a6e9e5e-1573-49fd-a95a-e993c5a68760/R6C_3715.jpeg https://www.mydoulagr.com/services daily 0.75 2024-12-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c437c3163cb77766987c80/3ea72d4f-31d5-41e9-8250-b50ded44176c/346A2329.jpeg Services - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c437c3163cb77766987c80/83e8c604-3214-425a-9feb-34eb14a4fe1f/R6C_4055.jpg Services - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c437c3163cb77766987c80/b9bad2b1-f157-45f2-9c5c-9cfca1efba16/R6C_4801_Original.jpg Services - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c437c3163cb77766987c80/aa54a544-9c8c-4a5f-9c1a-1dacfadbae1d/R6C_9021.jpeg Services - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c437c3163cb77766987c80/2be536a8-b27f-4ae9-99f0-504e8303e508/R6C_4369.jpg Services - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c437c3163cb77766987c80/f66e61c8-5f2c-4fff-9012-72e69e0d80a6/PlPLACENTA+EXPERT.png Services - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c437c3163cb77766987c80/1624681878480-T9DPUQSDWT5NH6NAZU5D/IMG_3399.jpg Services - Make it stand out Daddy and baby get a good look at each other https://www.mydoulagr.com/meet-us daily 0.75 2025-09-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c437c3163cb77766987c80/1628097529358-XONJ8ROG4L2CYWYAZJVY/IMG_3304.jpg Meet the Doulas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c437c3163cb77766987c80/3e5be2ef-9c45-495f-b9c8-e8ef7dc8ae65/R6C_9514.jpeg Meet the Doulas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c437c3163cb77766987c80/a080e9e8-a428-4484-b2f6-4a5bde4cdb26/05F2324B-F7BB-4667-8258-E75D1932CE08.jpeg Meet the Doulas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c437c3163cb77766987c80/b654c368-5d73-4224-81a0-baa9907284dc/R6C_3375_pp_Original.jpg Meet the Doulas - Lindsey Shigemoto, CD(DONA) Owner | Birth Doula | Postpartum Doula | Birth Photographer I’m Lindsey, founder of My Doula Grand Rapids, a DONA trained and certified birth and postpartum doula, certified BRM® pro, Birth Becomes You certified birth photographer, mom and the person who will absolutely cry at your birth while also remembering to give you snacks and sips of water. Over the past 7 years, I’ve attended more than 200 births. That’s 200 unique stories, and a whole lot of reminders that birth rarely follows a script and that people are capable of incredible things. I’ve helped parents in birth and postpartum to work through their fears, understand their options, prepare for different possibilities and find their voices when it matters most. Whether you are planning an unmedicated birth, a VBAC, preparing for a cesarean or simply trying to figure out what to expect, I’m here to help you feel informed and confident in your own decisions. Because I am a firm believer that the little moments are often the ones we treasure most, I also offer birth photography. I want you to have more than a story about what happened. I want you to see the strength in your face, the hand that held your’s and the first moments with the people who changed your world. Outside of birth work, I’m just constantly in awe of my husband and two kiddos. I have a bachelor degree from Arizona State and a master degree in Adult Education and Training, which is one reason that education is such an important part of my work. At home our life includes our dog, a couple of backyard dinosaurs (chickens) and a gaggle of musical instruments. I’m very sentimental and feel deeply that it is an honor to be in your birth spaces and homes.

I have been involved in and around birth my entire life. I am passionate about childbirth education, birth photography, and advocacy in the birth space. Trained in Spinning babies, Fat Birth, Still Birthday, and Body Ready Method. I have attended over 200 births in homes and hospitals all over West Michigan in my time as a doula and I’m excited to attend many more. I want to help you reach your goals, and I am so happy that you are here. Your story is important to me, and I can’t wait to meet you!
