Michelle Smith
CHt, CBE, CCA

Rev. Michelle A. Smith is clinical hypnotist with a specialization in childbirth hypnosis, holding certifications in both the HypnoBirthing and Hypnobabies methods of childbirth hypnosis -- the only one to do so in the Southeastern United States. She is also a childbirth educator, doula/labor companion, midwifery/birth assistant, and lactation educator, as well as an Usui & Karuna Reiki master/teacher and certified aromatherapist. This unique knowledge base and clinical experience provide Michelle with a unique understanding and well-rounded perspective in both birth and hypnosis, which she passes on to her clients. They carry with them into their birth experiences a relaxation, focus and control not typically realized by the average birthing woman. Most clients give birth without the need for pain medication and many are even pain free. Michelle's experience enhances her clinical hypnosis work. As a practicing staff member of the Hypnotic Research Society, she helps both men and women in such areas as stress reduction, relaxation, pain management, ego enhancement, fear release, self-hypnosis techniques, weight management, and smoking cessation.
