Hello! My name is LaTrisha Jenkins-Pridgeon. I am the owner of Graceful Hands Doula Care. I'm a labor & birth and postpartum doula in Lansing, Michigan. I serve Ingham, Eaton, Clinton and Genesee counties. My journey into birth work began after facing challenges with preeclampsia, tachycardia, postpartum preeclampsia and experiencing first hand the gaps in our black maternal health care system, while advocating for myself and my baby during labor. I am a DONA International trained doula. My holistic, calming and client-centered approach enables me to provide nurturing and evidence-based care. My goal is to ensure birthing people are being heard throughout their entire birthing experience and have equitable health outcomes. It is essential for birthing people and their families to be informed while feeling empowered and supported every step of the way. When not educating and advocating for birthing people, I enjoy spending time taking walks with my family, trying out new recipes, and finding interesting restaurants to visit while traveling. I look forward to gracefully supporting you! I accept self-pay and the following Medicaid plans: - McLaren - UnitedHealthcare Services: -prenatal -labor & birth -postpartum -birth plan -nesting -sibling support -nursery mood board -bereavement I look forward to gracefully supporting you!

Hello Birthing Families :) I am currently a Doula Trainee servicing the Detroit area. As I aim to complete my certification, I am providing free prenatal, labor and delivery, and postnatal support to expectant families. My purpose in this journey is to lower the risks of Mother's experiencing birth trauma, lack of support, and feeling unseen and unheard in the hospital room. My role is to provide support and comfort, ensure your questions are answered and needs are met, and overall advocate for what you want from the medical providers who will be aiding you in birthing your baby. You deserve to experience a safe and joyful birthing experience.

Hi, I’m Amanda! I am a licensed psychotherapist and perinatal mental health specialist. Helping moms adjust to (and actually enjoy!) their motherhood role is my passion. I work with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (postpartum anxiety and rage are my special areas of interest), as well as with mamas that just need little extra support as you navigate raising good humans; strengthening your relationship after baby; and managing the mental load of motherhood.

I am a board certified lactation consultant and also a registered nurse. I have been practicing as a lactation consultant for almost 20 years. I have experience in the hospital and clinic settings as well out in the community. I love being with families and assisting during such an incredible event in their lives.

Hi, my name is Alaila. I've been working as a doula for about 1 year now. I have 8 years of experience working in childcare as an early childhood education teacher. I have 3 children of my own, 1 boy and 2 girls. I became a doula because, I myself have preterm labor so I know the struggle to be heard during such an emotionally and physically difficult time as labor. I wanted to become a voice for anyone who is experiencing this struggle, to lift up their voice in the birthing room. I am currently enrolled and taking classes at Henry Ford to become a Medical Assistant. I plan to specialize as a Radiographer so that I can be even more helpful to the mothers I serve in the community and clinic settings.
