My daughter ate her apple like this yesterday - for no apparent reason. She chose to eat the apple and did enjoy it, but this was her technique. My middle son and hi had a laugh. She is a character.

Fueling your body fuels your baby — here’s what really matters.

Pregnancy is a time when nourishing your body matters more than ever. Beyond the well-known vitamins and minerals, the real foundation starts with balance — making sure you’re fueling yourself with the right mix of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates to keep energy steady and support your baby’s growth.

A strong baseline of whole foods, balanced meals, and consistent hydration gives your body what it needs to thrive. From there, those key nutrients play their role in development, energy, and overall wellness.

Of course, every pregnancy is unique. Always check in with your doctor or care team to find the best nutrition plan for your journey.

Welcome to The Mama Wellness Method & Mama Wellness Hub! I’m Maike Mancuso, a mama of three and your go-to pre- & postnatal health coach. I’m so excited you’re here!

The Mama Wellness Method is all about empowering mamas to feel their best - mind, body, and spirit - through practical wellness programs and coaching. Whether you’re navigating pregnancy, postpartum, or the daily hustle of motherhood, I’ve got you covered with everything from core recovery to mindset support.

Alongside the Mama Wellness Method, I’ve created the Mama Wellness Hub - a thriving community of wellness practitioners who are here to support YOU. From fitness classes and pelvic floor therapy to mental health and nutrition support, this is your one-stop hub for all things mama wellness.

This space is all about connection, education, and creating a supportive village - because I know how important it is to have the right resources, especially when it feels like there’s no one close by.

I’m here to guide you on your journey to better health, and together, we’ll make sure you thrive, not just survive. If you’re ready to take control of your wellness, connect with other mamas, and start feeling your best - let’s get started! Drop me a DM or check out the link in my bio for more info!

The Summer Holidays are around the corner!

Here are 5 Summer Wellness Tips for Busy Mamas

1. Plan it in — but keep it flexible.
Treat your workout or wellness moment like any other appointment. Add it to your calendar before the week gets too full. Morning stretch? Family walk after dinner? Claim your 15–30 minutes, even if it's broken up.

2. Be clear on your goals (and kind with your expectations).
Decide what “success” looks like this season: Is it moving 3x a week? Staying hydrated? Hitting your macros? Maybe it’s just keeping a routine that keeps you feeling good — not perfect. Life’s different with travel, heat, and kids home — and that’s okay.

3. Turn movement into memory-making.
Bring the fam! Go on hikes, hit the beach for a bodyweight circuit while the kids dig sandcastles, do a family dance party, or chase your toddler in the park. Movement doesn’t have to mean a workout mat and timer.

4. Stack habits with summer routines.
Link your habits to things you’re already doing — drink water after brushing your teeth, stretch while the kids are playing, or do a 5-minute meditation during nap time or quiet time. Small, stacked actions = big wins.

5. Don’t all-or-nothing yourself.
One missed day doesn’t mean you “failed.” This season is about rhythm, not rigidity. If your body’s asking for rest or your schedule explodes — adjust and keep going. Consistency over time matters more than perfection day-to-day.

What will you thrive for this summer? Share your favorite tips, we'd love to hear.

Calling all new mamas!
Still feeling a bit disconnected from your body after baby? Not sure where to start with healing your core—or how to even make space for you in the middle of it all?
Let me gently say: you’re not alone. And you don’t have to figure it out solo.

Join us for a 6-week postpartum recovery group designed for moms who want to feel strong, supported, and connected—physically and emotionally. We meet once a week (Thursdays at 9:30AM starting July 31), in-person in Pacifica or from your cozy living room via Zoom (yes, PJ’s welcome ).

- Babies are welcome.
- All props are provided
- Parking is available around the studio
- And the space is full of other mamas walking a similar path

Each week we’ll focus on a specific part of your healing journey -from breath and core connection to pelvic floor recovery, posture resets, and daily strength for mama life.
This is not about bouncing back.
It’s about building forward - stronger, more supported, and more in tune with your incredible body.
