My Journey. 

My Inspiration.

About us

ŪKAIPŌ is much more than just a brand – it's a reflection of my personal journey from athlete to mother. Fitness has always been a huge part of my life, from playing netball and water polo as a young girl to competing as an amateur boxer and later discovering new challenges in CrossFit and cycling. I’ve always felt at home in my body, finding strength through movement.

But when I became pregnant, everything changed. I faced new challenges that I hadn’t anticipated – from societal stigmas around exercising while pregnant to the struggle of finding supportive workout gear that actually worked for my changing body. Despite these hurdles, my passion for health and fitness didn’t fade.

Postpartum life, however, brought an entirely new set of challenges, both physically and mentally. I found myself navigating uncharted territory, trying to reclaim my fitness while adjusting to life as a new mother. During this time, I realized how important it was to be surrounded by the right people – a community that encouraged me, empowered me, and helped me feel confident while exercising.

This experience inspired me to create ŪKAIPŌ. I wanted to make sure that other women wouldn’t face the same struggles I did. At ŪKAIPŌ, we believe that mothers should never have to choose between being a mum and being an athlete – we can thrive in both. Our mission is to build a community where women feel supported, connected, and empowered through every stage of motherhood and beyond.

Whether you're balancing a career, motherhood, or your fitness goals, ŪKAIPŌ is here to remind you that you can do it all – with strength, confidence, and the right support by your side.
