Dawn McCorry (she/her)

Hey there, my name is Dawn McCorry. I live in Edmonton with my three sons. 
I have been interested in birth my whole life and it is truly my dharma to

support families during this during this important time. 

During my first labour and delivery I experienced a classic case of the
cascade of interventions.  I did different research and prepared myself for my
next delivery, which was much more supported and empowering.  For my
second and third birth I also had a loving female in the room with me I was
amazed at the difference it made in my ability to find strength and my voice.  I
wanted to be able to give this to other birthing people and their partners in

their pregnancies and births.

I also found my way to the yoga mat after my first pregnancy.  Yoga was huge
part of my 2nd and 3rd pregnancies, allowing me to feel more connected to
my body as a whole.  My yoga practice was integral in my ability to bring a
serene and open environment to my labor and deliveries. I had a newfound
trust and connection to the process that I discovered in my asana and

mediation practice.

I attended my first birth as a doula in 2010, and it is still one of the greatest
days of my life.  I had a nursing infant at home at the time, when he was a bit
older I took the leap into birth work. I took my DONA Doula Training and two
Yoga Teacher trainings, including my Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training in an 18
month period. I fully entered into birth work in 2012. I love the birthing power
that is given to woman through the proper support and education from a birth
doula. In addition, the magnificent aftereffects that occur with a greater
connection with their babies after a positive birthing experience that will last a
lifetime.  I love learning and enjoy taking courses to continue to help my

students and clients.  I look forward to passing on the endless benefits of

doula support and yoga to you.
