Patti quite literally always has pregnant women floating around her. Over these last few years, my own childbearing years, I have unveiled that it is with very good reason.

Patti has been a strong presence for me through my own pregnancies, first as my prenatal yoga teacher, then as a skillful and intuitive guide through the portal of birth as my birth doula, then she nurtured and helped me integrate on the other side, as my postnatal yoga instructor. I have experienced the depths of her skills, wisdom, knowledge and perhaps most importantly, gentle intuition surrounding all things birth and have deep gratitude for her presence; on my personal journey, and for all the mothers that she so deeply supports.

Patti is a Birth doula and a has been a masterful yoga and meditation teacher for the last 20 years, but really she is a holder of space. A mother to mothers. A spiritual matriarch. She creates a community of support for mothers in a time where we can find ourselves all too isolated and lonely as we journey the path of motherhood.

As a single mother of two, Patti knows firsthand what it means to create a village, and the great value this network of support brings to all our lives at every stage of motherhood. Her mindfulness practice and devoted community have served as the anchors through all the tides of her own personal journey. This awakening and inspiration is what brought her company Uma Mother to life and is at the heart of all of her work.

Uma Mother provides yoga, meditation and a loving community for mothers of all stages from pregnancy to postpartum and beyond. More recently, Patti has launched Uma Mothership, a bimonthly meditation event focused on helping women build and maintain a simple and attainable meditation practice to remove stress, improve vitality, creativity and overall happiness and health……Perfect for rollercoaster of motherhood!

With the deep understanding that a mother with emotional intelligence; patience, compassion and empathy will raise the children who will change the world, Patti’s arms are wide open, guiding women to go deep, trust in themselves and hold each other strong as we do our precious work as mothers.
