Meet our Founder -
Nadine Woods
I was introduced to the world of nursing bras and shapewear out of necessity following the birth of my daughter and was shocked.
Frustrated with the selection available on the market, I envisioned undergarments that were functional, comfortable, sustainable, and lasted beyond my nursing days without compromising on style.
The changes in identity we feel and our yearning to connect with ourselves in our new bodies postpartum inspired me to create Mayana Genevière.

The Mayana Philosophy
When did women’s intimates become so objectively uncomfortable? So unbearable that we count down the hours, minutes, and seconds until we take them off? When did maternity, menopause and postpartum become reasons to suffer the absence of fashion in favour of utility, or vice versa?
It seems like women’s intimates have long been designed to fit some version of a woman’s body that doesn’t really exist - and there’s no amount of padding, frills, or tiny pink bows in the world to make up for it.
It’s time women expected more. Expected better. That’s why Mayana is redefining what it means to support a woman’s body, from maternity to menopause and beyond. Because we believe in creating intimates for the unstoppable and ever-changing force of women. And we always will.

Be expertly measured for the very best in fit that goes beyond one-size-fits-all.
Made with Care in Toronto Canada
We don’t just talk about transparency—we live it, and you’re welcome to see it for yourself in person.
Our small-batch pieces are created by a team of women. We work with suppliers who share our commitment to the health and safety of everyone throughout our supply chain.
Creating Community
For too long, women have silently navigated their health journeys. Enough is enough. We're here to bring those conversations to light and support those who face them alone.
We understand real women's bodies because we've worked closely with women at every stage, from breastfeeding to post-surgery recovery, and with all body shapes and sizes. It's this deep understanding that informs every design we create.
Functional Designs
You don’t have to settle for basic and minimal. Who says ethical designs can’t be stylish too? Our signature lace makes a statement wherever you go.
Breathable fabrics free from hormone-disrupting chemicals and irritating dyes show that style and ethics can absolutely go hand in hand.
Mayana garments are made with patented technology, functional fabrics, and informed construction to support women along their evolving journeys, both physical and emotional.
