About me

Hi there! I’m Mitshella, a certified Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care Specialist based in Knoxville, TN. Though my certifications are recent, the roles I’ve filled over the past 20 years reflect a deep and ongoing commitment to nurturing families. Long before formal titles, training, and certifications were widely available, I served as a postpartum doula, newborn care specialist, lactation consultant, new parent educator, developmental coach, nanny, governess, and household manager. I bring a holistic, family-centered approach to newborn care, collaborating with parents to provide emotional, physical, and practical support customized to each family’s needs. I am dedicated to offering compassionate, evidence-based support to families during the crucial early postpartum phase. Whether you're navigating the early days as a first-time parent or growing your family, I’m here to offer calm, confident guidance that empowers you to not only thrive but also to confidently support your recovery, bonding, and adjustment. My goal is to ensure you feel supported, seen, empowered, and capable. I understand that every family is unique, and my goal is to provide personalized, flexible care that meets your specific needs. Whether you need daytime support, overnight care, or virtual consultations, I am here to help you navigate parenthood with confidence and peace of mind. I look forward to being a trusted, nurturing presence during this special chapter in your life!
