Oak & Clove Midwifery

We blend a holistic approach with evidence-based information to help you make the best choices for you and your family! I am Aubrey McMillan and I am the heart and soul behind Birth of Life Doula Services. I am a certified doula, birth keeper, childbirth educator, placenta specialist, and reiki practitioner. It is my passion to ensure families feel informed and supported through their pregnancy, birth, and new parenthood journey. My goal is for each person I work with to feel confident in the choices that they make. My background is filled with caring for young children and supporting their families through parenthood. As I learned about birth through a childbirth education class, I was on the edge of my seat with excitement for what was to come. My enthusiasm only grew from there, and after the birth of my first daughter I truly understood the value of a doula's continuous support. Having worked as a doula the past several years, I feel confident that pursuing this vocation is my life’s purpose. I blend a holistic perspective with inclusive, evidence-based information. This paired with my innate ability to be adaptable, calming, and instinctual makes me a valuable member to any birth team. I started walking my doula path in 2017, and since then I have experienced birth in a variety of ways. I have supported families through home, birth center, and hospital births. I have assisted with medicated, unmedicated and cesarean births. I have witnessed twins being born and VBACs (vaginal birth after cesarean) being rocked. I am a loss and rainbow mother. I live just west of Nashville with my husband and two daughters. My own birth experiences include a cesarean and a homebirth VBAC. When I am not working with a client, I can be found exploring a new trail, collecting herbs and crystals, binge watching a new TV show, or doing a craft with my kids.
