about mämē
mämē nutrition is here to provide holistic nutrition, lifestyle support and early education to families by helping instill healthy, mindful and nutritious practices. Early education before and during pregnancy can ultimately help support a mämē through postpartum and beyond.
POSTPARTUM RECOVERY
We encourage holistic nutrition practices that support recovery postpartum through diet and lifestyle. Getting ample amounts of sleep, reducing stress, reducing toxins, increasing laughter, and finding social support can not only reduce a woman’s risk of postpartum depression but can also reduce her risk for developing an autoimmune disease.
SHELLEY VAN WYK
OWNER / NUTRITIONAL CONSULTANT
Shelley’s journey into motherhood sparked a deep transformation—not just physically, but in her sense of purpose, creativity, and connection. With the loving guidance of her sister-in-law, a Pediatrician, she and her husband approached their first pregnancy with intention—focusing on nutrition, lifestyle, and emotional well-being. That experience became the foundation for how she now lives, mother, and support others: through a creative, holistic lens.
Through Mämē Nutrition, Shelley wanted to create space for women to reconnect with their inner wisdom, nourish themselves fully, and feel empowered on their journey into motherhood and beyond.
She holds a Holistic Nutrition Consultation Certificate from Bauman College, she’s a certified yoga instructor, and she brings a lifelong creative spirit to all she does—from crafting healing remedies to designing intentional spaces for rest and renewal. Her background in hospitality (as a Food & Beverage Director and hotel GM across NYC and the West Coast) and a B.S. in Art from the University of Wisconsin–Madison have all shaped the way she blends care, beauty, and a grounded presence into her work.
Now based in Santa Barbara with her husband and three boys, she continues to explore the art of holistic living—where nourishment, creativity, and motherhood are deeply intertwined.
LAURA R, SANTA BARBARA
I couldn’t recommend Shelley more! I had some postpartum health issues. Shelley took a very holistic & detailed approach to help me. I felt extremely cared for & supported. She’s gentle, caring, smart, and a wealth of knowledge. I also appreciated all the resources she provided. She suggested certain vitamins, supplements, recipes, and meal plan just for me. I didn’t realize how deficient I was in my postpartum body! Within a week I felt like a different person. I could tell how much Shelley has studied nutrition and the body, and how passionate she is about helping people. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you need a little help & guidance!
