Betsy Smith's bio:

Clinical Focus
I have over 15 years experience as a Certified Nurse Midwife and 42 years as a nurse. My professional goal is to assist women and partners in a mindful birthing experience and provide a gentle atmosphere for the miracle of birth. I am the guide through the labor and birth experience. I bring to the journey my experience and training and all the wisdom I have acquired through the years from my clients. I use a holistic approach that includes hypnosis, progressive relaxation, massage and acupressure and now Calmbirthing.

Personal Interests
Outside of work I enjoy creating glass fusion art, spending time with animals; I have two wonderful, huge dogs, dancing to any genre of music and embracing my spirituality. Words to live by are: be open to all of life's lessons; albeit challenging or easy and experience every moment as if it is your only moment.
I also enjoy performing ceremonies as a Universal Life Minister; weddings, passing over ceremonies and quinceaneras.
