About Me:
Holding space for the tender transition into parenthood.
Hi, I’m Michelle Ocheltree— a certified postpartum doula, nurturer by nature, and passionate advocate for families in the fourth trimester and beyond.
My work is rooted in the belief that every family deserves to be supported, affirmed, and care for during the early weeks and months after welcoming a new baby—whether it’s your first or your fifth, whether your journey includes birth , adoption, surrogacy, or something in between.
I provide trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ inclusive care that meets you where you are. With warmth, nonjudgemental presence, and practical support, I walk alongside you—whether that looks like helping with newborn care, preparing nourishing meals, soothing a fussy baby overnight, or simply offering space to exhale and be heard.
Why I became a postpartum doula.
I was drawn to this work through a deep calling to care for others— not just the baby, but the whole family. I’ve seen how overlooked and isolated the postpartum period can be, especially for those that are navigating it without a village. Becoming a doula felt like a way to rebuild that village-one family at a time.
I believe rest is essential, recoveries sacred, and parents deserve just as much care as their newborns.
My Approach
I approach postpartum care with a calm and grounding presence and a deep respect for each family’s unique experience. My support is gentle, practical, and always tailored to what you need in the moment— whether that’s hands on newborn care, a nourishing meal, a few hours of sleep, or simply someone to listen without judgement. I draw on evidence-based training and continued education to offer care that is informed and intentional., while remaining flexible and intuitive. My work is family-centered, extending support not just to the birthing parent, but also to partners, siblings, and all members of the household. I am deeply committed to providing inclusive, affirming care for all families—regardless of gender identity, parenting path, or family structure— because everyone deserves to feel seen, supported, and nurtured during this sacred time.
