Third Coast Placenta Arts

Hello all. My name is Shaina Michelle and I am absolutely, undoubtedly fascinated by the human placenta. It’s why I am working so hard to create @pomegranatepostpartum no matter what life serves up for me. It’s been rough. Can’t lie. I have two lovely humans I grew in my womb, a daughter and son. Their birth experiences alone changed my life course as someone who identifies as a womxn. It is my own trauma and healing that keep me circling back to birth work in any way shape and form. I have been a free birth doula mostly. A hand full of womxn have trusted my intuition and service. But I grew weary on the birth worker front lines. I have since been finding my way in service to those who carry life within, and those who choose not to. I find I can offer my full love in placenta wisdom. I want nothing more than to return the medicine of the placenta back to the birther for nourishment. The history of obstetrics and current common practices around birth and postpartum especially leave me more than rageful, so here I am again showing up how I can to those that birth in 2025. I am moving back to my home state and hope to share my talents there abundantly. (Michigan) Thank you so much for being here, seeking my services and trusting me with an organ you grew, witnessing me pause as a human and lovingly take time to build the kind of birther-centered care I want to share.
