From Mama Bear Massage LLC

Shawna has a passion for helping women in all stages of motherhood from prenatal to postpartum and beyond. In 2006 she graduated from massage therapy school. While pregnant with her son in 2014, Shawna had her first experience receiving a basic Swedish prenatal massage. Like many new mothers, she struggled with “common pregnancy discomforts”. Finding no relief in bodywork she decided to study various pregnancy massage techniques to create - truly therapeutic pregnancy massage sessions. This led her an apprenticeship at Centered Spirit with Alex Jackson LMT, NCTMB, a Holistic Health Practitioner, who developed the Awareness is Healing® Method (AIH) Maya Abdominal Massage and Traditional Maya Medicine.
