Maybe this doesn't directly answer your question, but have you looked at using an MVVM framework? For example, in Caliburn.Micro you would do (very basic example):

public class ShellViewModel : Conductor
{
  public ShellViewModel()
  {
    var myViewModel = new MyViewModel();
    this.ActivateItem(myViewModel);
  }
}

ShellView.xaml

MyView.xaml

  Hello world

This is a viewmodel first approach.
