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/v1/60c437c3163cb77766987c80/89d4d68e-8088-4e82-8550-4d4f0a46bef1/IMG_20230322_124004.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/v1/60c437c3163cb77766987c80/83e8c604-3214-425a-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/v1/60c437c3163cb77766987c80/1624681878480-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/v1/60c437c3163cb77766987c80/83fcd605-f3a0-4ded-8091-900f5bfdd9e2/R6C_3368.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, and Birth Becomes You certified birth photographer. Over the past 7 years, I’ve attended more than 200 births. That’s more than 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 through birth and postpartum, working through fears, helping them understand their options, preparing for different possibilities, and finding their voices when it matters most. Whether you’re planning an unmedicated birth, preparing for a VBAC, a planned cesarean or simply trying to figure out what to expect, I’m here to help you feel informed, supported and confident in your own decisions. Because I believe 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 constantly in awe of my husband and our 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, life includes our dog (who some say resembles the foot stool in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast), a couple of backyard dinosaurs (chickens) and a gaggle of musical instruments. It’s a little chaotic, and a lot of fun. I believe it’s an incredible honor to be welcomed into your birth space and home during such a transformative time, and I can’t wait to meet you! Emily Retzlaff, CD(DONA) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c437c3163cb77766987c80/86b6c652-c068-40c2-8120-e3a50773b51d/FB_IMG_1670304699233.JPG Meet the Doulas - Jessi Heins, CED-L, CED-PIC(ProDoula) Birth Doula | Postpartum Doula | Birth Photographer | Lactation Support ‍ ‍ Hi I’m Jessi! I’m a ProDoula certified birth and postpartum doula and Lamaze certified childbirth educator with a background in social work from Western Michigan University. Growing up in Saugatuck and raising four kids of my own with my amazing partner in Holland, I’ve seen how much the right support can matter during the big transitions of family life. After four positive birth experiences of my own, I felt drawn to help other families feel informed and confident in their own experiences. With each pregnancy I learned more about myself and the incredible things that our bodies can do. Shortly before I got pregnant with my last baby, I decided to train as a doula. I took an in person training, (where I met Lindsey!) and started attending births in 2020 (great timing). Since then, I’ve attended more than 150 births, and supported families through a wide range of circumstances, including VBACs, pregnancy loss, and bereavement. I have even helped parents of multiples navigate postpartum. My social work background shapes how I approach this work, by listening first, meeting families where they are, and helping them navigate their options without judgement. Whether we’re preparing for birth, working through an unexpected change in plans, or finding your footing in postpartum, I want you to feel heard, respected and supported. I bring practical knowledge, a steady presence and a genuine investment in helping families feel prepared for what’s ahead. If you ask me whether I’m ready to jump in and support you through it all, my answer is going to be the same one I use for life: I’m here for it!
