UMA provides education, practices, resources, and community designed to support women and families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, motherhood, and beyond.
The information and practices offered through the UMA website, app, courses, classes, workshops, programs, events, social media, and other content are intended for educational and general wellness purposes only. They are not intended to replace individualized medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or care from a qualified healthcare professional.
Medical Care
UMA is not a medical or healthcare provider. Participation in UMA offerings does not establish a physician-patient, therapist-client, or other licensed healthcare-provider relationship. Information shared through UMA should not be used to diagnose or treat a medical condition or to delay seeking professional medical care. Always consult your physician, midwife, or other qualified healthcare provider regarding questions or concerns about your individual health, pregnancy, birth, postpartum recovery, your baby’s health, medications, supplements, nutrition, exercise, or other medical decisions. If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, seek immediate medical care.
Pregnancy, Birth & Postpartum
Every pregnancy, birth, postpartum experience, and individual is unique. UMA provides education intended to help participants feel informed, supported, and connected to their own experience. The information we share is not intended to predict or guarantee a particular pregnancy, birth, postpartum, breastfeeding, or health outcome. Birth and postpartum education provided by UMA is designed to complement the care and guidance of your chosen medical providers and birth team. You are responsible for discussing your individual circumstances, preferences, and medical decisions with your healthcare providers.
Yoga, Movement & Physical Practices
Yoga, movement, stretching, breathwork, and other physical practices involve inherent risks and may not be appropriate for every person or at every stage of pregnancy or postpartum recovery. By participating in UMA movement practices, you acknowledge that you are responsible for determining whether participation is appropriate for you. Listen to your body, practice within your own capacity, and modify or discontinue any movement that causes pain, dizziness, unusual shortness of breath, bleeding, contractions, or other concerning symptoms. If you are pregnant, postpartum, recovering from birth, surgery, injury, or another medical condition, consult an appropriate healthcare professional before beginning or returning to physical activity when necessary.
Meditation, Breathwork & Restorative Practices
Meditation, breath awareness, guided relaxation, and restorative practices are offered as educational and wellness tools for supporting rest, self-awareness, and overall well-being. These practices are not a substitute for medical, psychiatric, or psychological care. If you have concerns about your mental or emotional health, please seek guidance from an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
Nutrition & Supplements
Any information provided by UMA regarding food, nutrition, herbs, supplements, or general wellness is for educational purposes only and should not be interpreted as individualized nutritional or medical advice. Individual needs vary, particularly during pregnancy, breastfeeding, postpartum recovery, or when managing a medical condition. Consult your physician, midwife, registered dietitian, or other qualified professional before making significant dietary changes or beginning supplements, herbs, or other wellness products, particularly during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Individual Responsibility
By choosing to participate in UMA offerings, you acknowledge that you are responsible for your own health decisions and for determining, in consultation with your healthcare providers when appropriate, whether an activity, practice, or recommendation is suitable for you. UMA encourages informed participation, open communication with your healthcare team, and respect for your individual circumstances.
