Understanding how the body performs when the demands never stop.
The science of motherhood
Coaching women through both — in real life, not in theory.
The story behind
Moana Health
Motherhood is one of the most significant physiological transitions a human body undergoes — yet most women are left to navigate it without a clear framework.
The focus after birth centres on the baby and on recovery from birth itself. What follows — the months and years of biological adaptation, shifting capacity, and compounding demand — is largely left unaddressed.
Moana Health was created to change that.
Why This exists
Moana is the word for ocean across many Pacific cultures — Māori, Hawaiian, Polynesian. The ocean sustains life on this planet. Without it, nothing else follows.
The parallel is not incidental. Moana Health is based in New Zealand, on the Pacific shore — and the belief behind it is the same: that mother's health is foundational. When it is supported, everything built around it is stronger.

WHAT MAKES MOANA HEALTH DIFFERENT
A unique structured approach built around you — because no two women experience motherhood the same way.

Cecile Laguette
Cécile has competed at the highest levels of solo and fully crewed offshore sailing (Figaro-Beneteau circuit, The Ocean Race) — an environment that demands a precise understanding of how the body manages load, recovery and performance when the demands never stop.
Becoming a mother reoriented that understanding entirely.
She returned to study, completing practitioner-level training in the science of motherhood — and retrained as a health coach. Moana Health brings those three areas of expertise together: elite athletic recovery, practitioner-level training in the science of motherhood, and health coaching.
Her work is grounded in the belief that women navigating motherhood deserve that combination — a structured approach built around you, because no two women arrive at this transition the same way.

" You are likely the person others depend on most
yet the support structures built around motherhood rarely
put you at the centre.
That is what this work is here to change."
