Oak & Clove Midwifery - Professional Midwifery & Placenta Services

Providing families with comprehensive holistic midwifery support through pregnancy, birth, and beyond!

Hello, I'm
Aubrey McMillan.

Welcome to Oak & Clove Midwifery—I’m so glad you’re here!

I offer homebirth midwifery and placenta encapsulation services to families throughout Middle Tennessee. I am a Licensed Certified Professional Midwife (CPM-TN). My passion is supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and new parenthood with care that is both holistic and autonomous. I want help you to feel confident in your choices and deeply supported in every decision you make for yourself and your baby.

My path into midwifery began during my first pregnancy. I took a childbirth education class and found myself on the edge of my seat, captivated by everything I was learning. That excitement only deepened as I experienced the birth of my first daughter and truly felt the power of continuous, compassionate support. Since then, I’ve been called to this work—and it has become my life’s vocation.

Since entering the birth world in 2017, I’ve had the honor of supporting over 150 families, personally catching more than 25 babies. My experience spans a wide range of birth scenarios, including VBACs, twins, breech births, shoulder dystocia, nuchal hands and cords, posterior babies, meconium aspiration, fetal distress, placental abruption, uterine rupture, and postpartum hemorrhage. Each of these births has deepened my reverence for the uniqueness of every story and the incredible strength of the families I serve.

A little about me: I live just west of Nashville with my husband and our two beautiful daughters, and I also carry the memory of a little one we lost along the way. My own birth experiences—a cesarean, a miscarriage, and a homebirth VBAC—have shaped the way I approach care and grounded my empathy for the families I serve. When I’m not working with clients, you can find me hiking a new trail, crafting with my kids, solving puzzles, or binge-watching a favorite show. I’m also passionate about holistic living and love sharing ideas about toxin-free living, herbal remedies, and homeopathy.

It’s truly an honor to walk alongside families during such a powerful and transformative time. If you’re planning a homebirth, I would love to connect to and learn more about how I can support you along this journey.

What Aubrey's clients are saying:

"Aubrey's honest and transparent heart and wisdom from many years of child-care and child development experience make her the ultimate asset, BUT her ability to multi-task is what truly sets her apart. I have never seen anyone perform so many functions such as feeding, preparing meals, cleaning up and being present on the floor playing and loving on children the way Aubrey does. She is a blessing to our family and any others she comes across."

Holly

“Aubrey helped me achieve my goal of experiencing a vaginal birth without anesthesia intervention. Her readiness and support enabled me to focus and push through at the points when I truly thought I couldn't. Aubrey also provided valuable guidance to my husband who wanted to be present and supportive during labor for me.”As a side note, Aubrey was able to capture some of the most precious photos and videos during labor for us. I feel so lucky to be able to revisit such intimate moments in time that would have otherwise escaped me with everything that was going on at the time. We truly recommend her services.”

Summer

"Aubrey has been a lifesaver for my labor in supporting both me and my husband. She helped me achieve my goal of a natural birth. Though our recovery was a little different than planned, she stayed with us through our transfer and reassured us and explained everything to us in a way we could understand. Postpartum I could not have asked for a better resource to ask all my first-time mom questions and concerns to. All around great person and stellar mom! Thank you so much!!!"

Jessica

"Aubrey is an all-around great person to talk to about birth and babies as well as the trials and tribulations of motherhood. Her rock-solid emotional strength and compassion are exactly what you need in a birth and postpartum support person. I highly recommend her. She is a fantastic doula!"

Helen

"I was very fortunate to have Aubrey as my doula during the birth of my second little and throughout the pregnancy. She was informative and answered any questions I had about wanting a more natural birth as well as after our little man's delivery. I definitely recommend her to anyone expecting."

Sarah

"When I was looking for a doula, I wanted to find someone passionate about VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean). Aubrey understands the need for VBAC birth support in our community. Aubrey is so supportive and understanding. She truly emulates the meaning of the word doula. I am so glad she could be present at my birth to help to keep me calm and cool when I felt like I was going to fall apart.”

Victoria

“We are so grateful that Aubrey has been our doula! From day 1 of pregnancy, she has provided positive energy, professional support and loving encouragement for both me and my husband. Her child birthing class was very thorough and gave us a greater sense of being prepared for the big day. I love that there are never any "silly questions" with Aubrey. As a first-time mama, I have learned such a great deal from her. I highly recommend Aubrey and Birth of Life doula services!”

Kitty

“Aubrey is such a compassionate kind sweet soul! Very educated with birth! She has such a calming aspect about her that makes you feel safe and cared for. She truly wanted to make sure I had the best birthing experience and would take all the worry out of my hands. I had encapsulation done with my placenta with her she was very thorough and informative (& my pills work wonderfully!) Anyone would be so lucky to have her for a doula!”

Whitney

“I am so thankful we had Aubrey with us on my daughter’s birthday and the time leading up to it. To say she went above and beyond is an understatement!!! Having a doula during your birth is something EVERYONE should have. Aubrey was also there for my husband to help him when he had to leave me. Words will never be able to describe how appreciative of everything you did for my family!”
