Born in 1999,
Maternal Health and Fitness is the culmination of a life’s dream come
true for its owner and founder, Maureen Saba. As a Perinatal Technician
in the Birthing Center at Caritas Holy Family Hospital for over 6 years,
Maureen saw first-hand how women who exercised during their pregnancies
were better physically and mentally prepared for the birthing
experience.
Maureen says, “I
wanted to create a haven where women could come to prepare their bodies
and minds for the birth of their babies. You will, in nine months,
experience the most miraculous event of your life.”

Maureen Saba,
was convinced that expectant mothers
would benefit by having a place to exercise, gather information, bond
and just “be pregnant.” She felt that “If you build it, they will come,”
and they did, bringing family, friends, neighbors and coworkers. The
overwhelming response led Maureen to expand her facility that has
accommodated over 500 families to date, in all stages of pregnancy.
Maureen has been
featured on many
national television programs, magazines, and newspapers (click here for
