From my story to yours

Fitness has always been part of my life. I grew up playing all sports from netball to water polo as a young girl to competing as an amateur boxer and taking on new challenges like CrossFit and cycling, staying active has always been a passion of mine. But when I became pregnant, I faced a whole new set of challenges – from societal stigmas around exercising while pregnant to struggling to find the right support during both my pregnancy and postpartum journey.

​

After giving birth, I encountered even more physical, mental, and emotional hurdles. But with the right people around me, I felt encouraged to stay active, which gave me confidence. That experience made me realise how important it is for mothers to have that same support – to feel empowered, not just in their fitness, but in every part of their lives.

​

That’s why I created ŪKAIPŌ – to build a community where mothers can thrive. I believe that being a mum doesn’t mean giving up your passions or ambitions. Whether it’s in fitness, your career, or in life, you can be strong, empowered, and supported in all that you do. At ŪKAIPŌ, we celebrate that strength and create a space where mums can connect, share, and uplift one another.
