Mari-Carmen Sanchez-Morris

Mari-Carmen Sanchez-Morris is the founder of the FIT MAMA app and a leading voice in pre and postnatal health. With a background in nursing, specifically in Paediatric Intensive Care, Mari-Carmen transitioned into the fitness industry after her own experiences with maternity in 2017 revealed a gap in accessible, reliable information for new mothers. Despite the challenge of starting with a four-month-old baby, she quickly earned her qualifications in pre and postnatal fitness, eventually training women from her own garage.

Combining her extensive medical knowledge and fitness expertise, Mari-Carmen launched FIT MAMA in January 2023, an innovative app designed to support mothers through every stage of motherhood—from prenatal care to menopause. FIT MAMA blends science-backed advice with Mari-Carmen's personal experience to dismantle the misconceptions surrounding fitness and motherhood. Her mission is to empower women, helping them reclaim their strength and identity while navigating the challenges of motherhood.

Having been featured in The Guardian, Stylist, and GB News, Mari-Carmen is piloting her app with the NHS to further her goal of making health and fitness resources accessible to all mothers. A mother of three herself, she is passionate about supporting women to thrive in both motherhood and business.
