When I was pregnant I felt overwhelmed sometimes by all that I had to do to prepare for my baby and all else motherhood had in store. I wished for a space where I could go to just relax for a minute and maybe find like minded women who were expecting as well. I found classes at a pregnancy ultrasound center outside of Detroit. It was nice but no one looked like me or could understand my concerns fully around birth. I also had hip and back discomfort.
Being a licensed Massage Therapist, I knew that I could use a massage but who would be best to see. Surely, I did not want to put my trust in the local franchise chain massage center who only worked with pregnant women once a year and felt prenatal massage was a chore rather than a honor so I suffered in silence. Well that is half true, I saught help from a family chiropractor. It helped a little but I needed muscular massage not just adjustments.
Once my baby was born, I tried going to spas but with my husband at work I had no one I trusted to watch the baby. If only there was a space for new moms I thought. I previously had a spa in my house so I figured I'd refresh my memory of prenatal and postpartum massage and take classes to be proficient in it and make my spa into a maternity Spa for Moms like me. The process to become a maternity Spa was easy, however, I had a newborn and a year later discovered I was pregnant again. It wasn't until the pandemic began that Spa Oguzor begin to get recognition as a maternity Spa. I then realized that women needed more support than a massage and went to school for doula support.
Long story short, Spa Oguzor is a Maternity Spa and doula service seeking to assist those in Detroit with pregnancy related pain and education around birth and postpartum. Feel free to reachbout and check out our website Spaoguzor.com -Sonya Harris-Oguzor
