Mothers are
the heartbeat of evolution.

Welcome to the UMAverse

Motherhood is one of life's greatest thresholds, an invitation into a lifelong journey of transformation, growth, and becoming. UMA is your home to return to throughout that journey, offering education, inspiration, community, and consciousness-expanding practices that support you through pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause and your personal evolution in being.

Meet Patti

Patti Quintero is a mother, birth educator & doula, longtime yoga & Vedic Meditation teacher, and the founder of UMA.

For nearly three decades, Patti has supported mothers and families through the transformative journey to and through parenthood, helping them return to their innate wisdom and knowing.

ABOUT
ABOUT

  • I started out doing prenatal yoga classes with UMA and then was lucky enough to have Patti as my doula. Patti was my guiding light during much of my pregnancy and was a guardian angel during every stage of labor as well as postpartum. Patti was an incredible guide, teacher, friend and advocate in my journey to motherhood. I learned so much from her and the resources she provided. Mostly though, she gave me the space and invitation to allow the things I already knew to be true, and instinctively felt all along to guide the way.

  • Patti leads from the heart. She has such an incredible gift for helping you connect with your true self. She has helped me deepen my Vedic meditation practice and I am so grateful for everything she has taught me and for the beautiful friendship we share.

  • The education, knowledge, and community support that UMA and Patti offer Mothers is truly foundational in our maternal evolution. Her offerings are essential tools for every mother navigating preconception, pregnancy, and new motherhood. Patti’s longtime expertise in Yoga and Meditation provide mothers the tools to manage the high demands and stressors that often comes with this role. Patti has been dedicated to uplifting mothers through birth education, doula work, and through teaching mindful practices that help manage stress and maintain physical vitality. She has made it her priority to ensure loving care to underserved mothers who are also beneficiaries of her work.

  • Patti was our guiding light through the birth of our son. From our very first phone call, her words were so calming and grounding. I felt instantly at ease and in my body. With her by my side, I felt completely confident during our home birth. Now, as we welcome our second child, Patti is part of our family again, this time including our son in the journey too. She's a true community leader, bringing mamas together through connection, movement, and meditation.

  • I am such a fan of Patti, her philosophy, her vibration ! She is the most knowledgeable, heart opened, yummy human and anyone who comes across her is lucky to have her be involved in their journey to parenthood.

  • It's rare to come across a person who truly found their calling and Patti is one of those people. Her deep spiritual roots, innate ability to connect with women, tender ways and years of expertise are truly remarkable as I experienced her magic firsthand. We worked with her as our birth doula and through the journey, she helped relinquish my childbirth anxieties, brought greater meaning to our pregnancy and championed us through one of the most transformative experiences of our life. She is one of my greatest teachers and someone I'm proud to call a friend.

  • Patti is an exceptional educator with a rare gift for combining a grounding presence with empowering confidence in her teaching. UMA has been an invaluable resource for our family, vital for information, support, and my growth as a mother throughout pregnancy, postpartum, and raising our children. I will continue to confidently share UMA with expecting parents and meditators.

  • Patti is truly one of a kind. She has this incredible ability to see birth from all angles and guide you in creating a birth plan that feels aligned, informed, and uniquely your own. I can’t recommend the In Bloom 10 week birthing prep course enough. It not only made me feel so much more knowledgeable about birth, but truly empowered me to become an advocate for myself and my baby in a way I didn’t fully understand before beyond the education what made this experience so special was the community. Being surrounded by mothers going through a similar journey created something really beautiful and supportive. I walked away feeling more powerful, grounded, and so much more prepared for what birth actually entails. I am endlessly grateful for this experience.
