Betty-Anne Daviss worked with local midwives in Guatemala for four years and was a midwife in Alabama for three years . She came to Ottawa in the early 1980s. She is registered as a state-certified and approved midwife at Montfort Hospital in Ottawa and is active in the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM).

Daviss learned u. a. in Guatemala, Afghanistan and Eastern Europe as well as with Canadian Inuit know traditional practices of obstetrics and published ethnographic articles about them . She argued that the intuitive childbirth behavior of Western women was eroded and that the richest source of birth knowledge can be found in traditional third world midwives . In 1987, at a conference in Montreal in support of the First Nations , she spoke out in favor of a return to childbirth practices closer to their original culture. An attitude that has been criticized as problematic. She was involved in the legislative process, especially in Ontario and Quebec , which first regulated the state recognition of the profession of midwife in all of Canada's provinces in the 1990s. In 1999 she received a Masters degree from Carleton University with a social science study of midwives between social movement since the 1970s and professionalization. She is adjunct professor at the Pauline Jewett Institute for Women and Gender Studies at Carleton University , teaching birth history.

As Canada's first midwife, she was the project manager of the Safe Motherhood / Newborn Initiative of the International Association of Gynecology and Obstetrics ( FIGO ) and in this role co-authored one of the largest prospective studies in North America on planned home births with certified midwives. The British Medical Journal published the results in 2005 in English, French, Spanish and German.

The re-establishment of the spontaneous breech birth is her concern. As co-author of Frank Louwen, she was involved in a large cohort study conducted in Frankfurt am Main on breech births in an upright position, which was published in the International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics in 2016 . Other research areas include home birth safety and postpartum bleeding.
