In Bloom is more than just a birth prep course -- it is a conscious shift into one of the most important transitions in a woman's life: the rebirth as a New Mom. Patti is a powerhouse that gently guides you into the right headspace for your important journey ahead. You will learn invaluable knowledge, from not only Patti but also other highly sought after experts surrounding body movement, nutrition, meditation and breathing exercises and even a class that involves your partner on ways they can support you through active labor and beyond. This class was a critical turning point in my pregnancy that allowed me to challenge my assumptions and feel empowered going into my second pregnancy. Whether this is your first or your fourth pregnancy, you can't go wrong participating in this course. Sitting through 10 weeks of knowledge with other pregnant women was the added bonus!  Highly recommend.

The In Bloom prenatal series contributed hugely to how peaceful, empowered and grounded I felt during my pregnancy. With her soulful presence, Patti creates a virtual cocoon for nurturing and authentic sharing. My baby is now 6 months old and it’s a joy to be close with fellow UMA mamas. I’m so grateful for this community. Any mom would be lucky to be part of it.

Patti’s In Bloom course was incredibly empowering! I was initially hesitant to sign up because I had already hired a doula, but the information I learned over the 10 weeks was beyond what I could have imagined and definitely more than I could have learned or comprehended in the 2 sessions with my doula. Not only did we dive deep into each stage of pregnancy, labor, and postpartum, but I left the course feeling confident and excited to give birth without any of the fear I had going into it. There is so much we aren’t taught about labor and birth as women, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to learn with Patti in a supportive community of like minded women. Would do it again in a heartbeat

This Uma class was one of the best things I did in preparation for birth. Patti leads this course with love and an abundance of knowledge and never judgement. It’s a safe space for mothers to share their fears, anxieties, struggles as well as big wins. I'm so grateful to her for creating this community with women who I know I’ll have in my life for years to come. All the questions you have are answered by Patti and the special guests she welcomes in to share. Couldn’t recommend this course more!

I loved the Uma Mother In Bloom prenatal series. I learned so much and was surprised by how strong the sense of community was. There was never any judgment, only support during this wildly new and sometimes scary time. I left each session feeling calmer and more confident about giving birth. 

I also really appreciate that the connection continues even after the group ends. I truly feel like I’ve made friends who are going through the same experience, which has meant so much. I would highly recommend this course to any expecting parent.

IN BLOOM with Patti was the best thing I did during my pregnancy. Between the movement, education, community and Patti’s beautiful, wise energy the course helped me to go from fearful and anxious about birth to excited and empowered. I’m very grateful to have found her and the UMA community.

In Bloom was one of the most meaningful, important experiences of my pregnancy. Being pregnant is very often not easy, emotionally, physically, spiritually… Patti has a way of holding space in this really precious container of grounding meditation and movement, dropping in vulnerably, normalizing all the hard, and celebrating all the beauty. Despite it being virtual at the time, the magic of community and sharing was not lost on any of us new mamas. I also joined Integration which was incredibly special and helpful too. I so wish my time with Patti and the other mamas could extend into normal life well beyond the fourth trimester. 

LINDSAY WOLF

This is my first pregnancy; my only exposure to birth was from older friends and family members who were traumatized by their birthing experiences.  So naturally, I was a little fearful. Patti’s class provided a beautiful view into what giving birth could be like. Over 10 weeks, Patti provided a wealth of wisdom and knowledge that allowed me the space and time to think about how I wanted to welcome my baby into the world. Her excitement for birth is infectious and allowed me to begin to see birth in a more holistic sense. Her open and supportive manner attracts a beautiful community of women. Hearing and sharing pregnancy's ups and downs within a community was so helpful. I am so grateful to Patti for generously sharing her time and wisdom.
