Ellen is such a sweet woman she was very kind and very knowledgeable and I felt very comfortable with her as well as my husband. We are so excited to be in the care of the staff at PWH!
While visiting a friend who had recently returned home from New Mexico, Ellen felt the call of midwifery for the first time as a young woman entering the adult world around forty years ago. This friend had practiced Midwifery with Traditional Hispanic midwives, the Curandera-parteras. These traditional Midwives played a vital role in Ellen’s understanding of the underserved mothers and babies of Northern New Mexico. Her heart thrilled as she listened to the stories of the mothers bringing life into the world into the sacred hands of Curandera-parteras who served this underserved region for many years.
After much prayer and contemplation Ellen decided to follow the path of Midwifery through Nursing. She lived and was raised in Nashville, Tennessee and completed her A.D. in nursing in 1988, followed by her BSN in 2009. Ellen went to work as a labor and delivery nurse at the old Metro General Hospital, which is now closed, formerly located on the Cumberland River. A team of Nurse-Midwives served the women at the Metro General, and again, Ellen heard the strong call of midwifery on her life.
Ellen worked as a labor and delivery, post-partum, normal newborn and high risk newborn nurse for over 25 years. During this time, she raised her own family and continued her education as her children obtained theirs.
In 2011 Ellen had the opportunity to return to school, and now, after many years of working as a RN and raising her family, the call of Midwifery came to her again. She was able to enter Frontier School of Nurse-Midwifery and Family Nursing, founded by Mary Breckenridge. Ellen earned her MSN from The Frontier School of Nurse Midwifery in 2014 and went on to become a certified nurse midwife, fulfilling this lifelong dream and call.
Ellen again remembered the night with her friend years ago. The stories of birthing mothers, under the vast New Mexico desert sky, rich, misty, painfully blue and purple and the love, skill, dedication and healing of the Curandera-parteras. She remembered the first call within her spirit to a path of Midwifery.
Ellen has a deep belief that all birth is a sacred, spiritual experience for each mother and family and should be treated with respect and reverence. She believes in Shared Decision Making, Informed Consent, and Partnering with women. She has a long history of working in a hospital setting but has also attended home births in the traditional setting.
Fun Fact: Ellen recalls that she was born in Marietta Ga and when she was a small child she has fun memories of her family calling her a “Georgia Peach.”
Ellen is excited to return to Georgia, join the team at Providence Women’s Health Care and serve Georgia, where she was born.

Ellen is very compassionate and honest when she discusses things with you.
Ms. Ellen is amazing! She made my well woman exam an educational and relaxing experience. She made sure she explained what she was doing and walked me through each step making sure I wasn’t uncomfortable for even a second. So glad to have met her.
Let’s start from the top so when I entered there was no one in the front desk so I waited about 5 min then notice that there was a QR code that needed to be filled out ( please keep in mind that I have already filled out the paperwork over night before my appointment) I had to fill in some additional info plus the same information as the night before. For new patients I think it’s import to be informed that we have to complete that QR code. There was a women who got there before me and was waiting for like 20 min before she even noticed the sign and that’s only because she saw me scanning the photo, I was seen before her because I finished the paperwork before her. The wait time was only about a min which was awesome! But when getting the sonogram my husband felt unseen I was congratulated multiple time and nothing was said to him making him feel uncomfortable and unseen (that is not a good feeling) he immediately was like I don’t like this place we never experienced this in our other clinics (we where in NY for our other 2 pregnancies) the lady who did my sonogram was sweet kind and gental but my husband did not feel like he was seen. Even the nurses they did not seem happy upbeat and seemed to be just another day for them. For new moms and moms who are starting the journey over again we would like to feel that happiness and good vibes from the staff. Now after all that we finally met ELLEN
Perfect interaction, friendly and supportive! Provided clear and educated information and helpfulness
Service here is exceptional l. Love Dr. Smith
I really thought Dr. Smith was wonderful. I liked her energy. As far as care we were on the same page and I really appreciated the care she took in my case. I trust her much more than other doctors I use and I believe she is using better practices than most.
Every single person and member of staff was so wonderful and caring towards me and my twin boys. I absolutely loved it here
Excellent service!
