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
It wasn’t all that long ago that I was on my own personal journey into motherhood. I'm fortunate to have an all around amazing sister-in-law who also happens to be a Pediatrician. She worked closely with my husband and I on our lifestyle, nutrition and overall health prior to conceiving our first son. Soon after, I began meeting other mämēs and talking more amongst many of my girlfriends only to realize how lucky we were to have conceived naturally.
While I knew many women have trouble conceiving, especially under high-stress jobs, starting families later in life and other influencing factors, I didn’t quite realize just how many were really struggling. I feel so fortunate to have had such positive experiences with our pregnancies that I am truly inspired and driven to want to help other families have similar success.
I received a Holistic Nutrition Consultation certificate from Bauman College. Prior I was a Food & Beverage Director in NYC for 5 years and the General Manager for hotels in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, San Francisco, and Portland. I earned my BS in Art from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and am a certified yoga instructor. I live in Santa Barbara with my husband and two boys (soon to be three!)

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!
