For those of you who are new to UMA, welcome! I am Patti, the founder of UMA and here’s a bit of my story. 🤍 by @umamother

UMA has evolved since we began in 2015…not only in name, but through the devoted community that has found us along the way.

Mothers who found us on their journey to birth, during their first 40 days, and who returned for another birth, another postpartum, and another transformation.

Mothers who invited friends and continued to journey with us as they grow into the richer, riper stages of motherhood.

We’re refreshing UMA so it reflects who we’ve become, and honors everything we’re still becoming.

Thank you for being part of this beautiful community. I’m so excited for what’s to come.

With love, Patti 🤍✨ by @umamother

Labor transports us into another dimension. 🌀 This brilliant endogenous cocktail of hormones we experience prompts a unique state in both body and mind.

Every one of these surges supports us along the way by (1) stimulating our body’s production of key hormones to help us manage, adapt and prepare for birth & postpartum, (2) stimulating and squeezing our baby’s lungs, skull and brain in preparation for a massive transition into breathing and being.

When we better understand our body’s intelligence, nervous system & hormones, and the component parts that support a healthy pregnancy and birth, we can begin to eliminate fear and feel more excited and empowered to choose & claim what is right for each of us.

A lot of us have been taught to fear birth, and to fear our bodies. And whether it’s from images, movies or a lack of evidence based education we end up making decisions shaped by these imprints and often times pass these beliefs onto our children.

Children love learning about birth, and the human body. They love learning about how they were born, and participating in prenatal visits and many times they feel very at ease around birth. These foundations teach them to have reverence for this primal ritual that we all share, reverence for our bodies, and for each other.

What are some ways your children got to participate in birth preparation and baby’s arrival?

Every contraction and expansion is evolutionary. We may not always recognize it in the moment. As you grow and adapt, you lift the tide that carries us all.

Your own evolution is your greatest revolution. by @umamother

Postpartum can be a mushy, tender, raw, vulnerable, joyful and overwhelming chapter. No matter how you gave birth there is an inevitable descent from months of being expanded, stretched, full, and entwined with your baby and their becoming. Now starts the chapter of two: a newborn baby and its newborn mother.

Although we cannot predict this unfolding and integration, creating a few anchors and routines will help you through this hazy and untethered state. The 5 S’s above can be posted by your bedside or bathroom mirror as gentle reminders during a time where ‘remembering’ takes a back seat. 💜 by @umamother

Some of the littles in my life. 🤍
Our great teachers of presence, curiosity, wonder and joy. It’s been an honor to be on the welcoming committee for this many years. To be an anchor of peace & presence as they emerge into this world as little earthlings. May we continue to lean into the wonder and magic that life has to offer.

Every thought, and every word shapes our reality. It is a superpower to find unity points in an ocean of opposing currents.
As Mothers we hold this refined ability to unify, with our children, with the world, and with each other.
