DADS/PARTNERS ARE NOT JUST ONLOOKERS. THEY ARE INVOLVED AS MUCH AS YOU DESIRE THEM TO BE. SOME EVEN CHOOSE TO HELP CATCH THE BABY AND WE SUPPORT THEM

We work closely with a non-profit organization and others from the growing national perinatal workforce to help birthing people have the safest experience.

HypnoBirthing® -The Mognan Method
Since 2007, Corrinna Edwards, midwife, has served 100s of families as a HypnoBirthing® Practitioner and Childbirth Educator. Her perspective and teaching has a strong foundation from experience attending births in all settings, and evidenced-based curriculum. Hypnosis is a fancy way of saying deep relaxation – we are in a state of hypnosis daily when watching TV, day dreaming, or anytime we are distracted. It is a method that helps the birthing person condition before the birth, to tap into their own resources, meaning their senses are heightened so they experience the process as gentle and joyful. “Even during the most difficult times in labor, the tools my partner and I had to work with helped me get through it. I would not do it any other way if I have the choice.” -Kristen
Yoga Birth Preparation and Postpartum Recovery
3 of the Mandala Midwifery Birth Attendants are experienced yoga instructors. Jasmine holds classes in Metro Atlanta. Corrinna is a certified personal trainer and prenatal and postpartum yoga instructor for over 20 years. Corrinna isn’t currently hosting group classes, but works with each home birth person one on one to provide breathing exercises and poses that can help better facilitate their birthing and postpartum.

CORRINNA HAS BEEN STUDYING HERBS FOR OVER 10 YEARS AND IS CURRENTLY ENROLLED UNDER DR. CHIRISTOPHERS’S NATURAL HEALING SCHOOL WORKING TOWARDS HER CERTIFICATION.
WOMB CENTERING, BONE CLOSING AND BELLY BINDING
ABDOMINAL HEALTH IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF OUR CONSULTING & CARE PLAN FOR BIRTH AND POSTPARTUM. SOME OF THE MOST FIT BIRTHING PEOPLE END UP WITH THE WORST CASES OF AB SEPARATION (DIASTASIS RECTI). ALL BIRTHING PEOPLE NEED TO HAVE EDUCATION ON PROPER CARE OF THE WOMB BEFORE AND AFTER BIRTH TO HELP PREVENT SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION, BLADDER AND BOWEL CONTROL, ISSUES WEAK PELVIC FLOOR AND THEIR WOMB DROPPING.
MIDWIFERY AND HOME BIRTH
CORRINNA EDWARDS AND UMMSALAAMAH HAVE WORKED TOGETHER FOR NEARLY A DECADE. UMMSALAMAH HAS BEEN A MIDWIFE FOR OVER 40 YEARS AND ATTENDED OVER 4000 BIRTHS. CORRINNA HAS BEEN A MIDWIFE FOR 10 YEARS AND BEGAN HER TRAINING 15 YEARS AGO AFTER SERVING AS A DOULA FOR MANY YEARS. THE TWO OF THEM HAVE HELPED TO INTRODUCE IMPORTANT MIDWIFE LEGISLATION THAT IS INCLUSIVE OF THE MANY DIFFERENT SCOPES OF MIDWIFERY. THEY HAVE MUTUAL GOALS TO GROW MORE MIDWIVES AND INCREASE THE NUMBER OF BOOTS ON THE GROUND DOING THIS IMPORTANT WORK.
Testimonials
“CORRINNA AND HER TEAM HELPED ME BECOME AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN THE BIRTH OF MY SON. I WAS PREPARED WITH HYPNOBIRTHING CLASSES TO BE MORE THAN JUST A SPECTATOR. I HELPED CATCH MY SON AND I HAD NEVER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT IN THE HOSPITAL WITH MY OTHER CHILDREN. I LIKED THAT WE COULD JUST SLEEP IN OUR OWN BED FOLLOWING THE BIRTH.” – TEDDY RILEY, AKA “BLACKSTREET”
