Shawna has a passion for helping women in all stages of motherhood from prenatal to postpartum and beyond. She graduated from Massage Therapy School at PCI in 2006. After doing standard Swedish massage for several years, she noticed there was a lack of quality prenatal massage in the Kansas City area. 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” such as P***c
Symphysis and Sciatic pain. Finding no relief in the bodywork she received, she decided to study various pregnancy massage techniques to create – truly therapeutic pregnancy massage sessions that would help alleviate the unique discomforts that come along with pregnancy. This specialty allowed her to formally give “birth” in 2017 to Mama Bear Massage, LLC. With the goal to create more effective therapeutic sessions with the ability for Mom to lay face down and have as normal of a session as possible throughout her pregnancy. Since its creation, Mama Bear Massage has evolved from a Prenatal Massage focus to more of a Medical Massage focus. As time went on Pregnancy Massage clients became Postpartum and then Therapeutic Massage clients. https://mamabearmassagekc.com/

Shawna will be speaking at this year's Birth-I-Con!

When is it best to start prenatal massage?
As soon as possible! If Mom wants prenatal massage to be a part of her pregnancy care, it is important to begin sessions as early in pregnancy as possible. Bodywork works best when it can be done throughout the pregnancy to create lasting results and alleviate any preexisting discomforts that can get more inflamed during pregnancy.

Moms who choose massage throughout pregnancy notice a more comfortable birthing experience physically and less anxiety or nervousness during labor.
Prenatal massage does not require a waiting period or a doctor’s note unless there is a high-risk concern. Even then due to our extensive training and education in prenatal and medical massage, there are still many high-risk factors that we can still help with at Mama Bear Massage.

Please always communicate any diagnosis, pre-existing conditions, or high-risk factors/concerns to your Massage Therapist before beginning treatments. You never know what they can help with!

Regular massage can help to prepare your body to deal with an injury you sustain.

Even after an injury, massage may be able to help with recovery.

There are so many benefits, to include improved circulation, better flexibility, and improved lymphatic system function.

All of these may help when you get injured or with recovery.

Add massage to your list of general health practices and as a way to help prevent injury and shorten recovery time.

We love to help!

What does that mean to you?

Self Care?

We hear things all the time from so many sources about what you can do to practice self care.

It seems simple, but sometimes it can be really difficult to prioritize your health.

Life gets in the way, kids get in the way, jobs get in the way . . .

We want to be part of your support system to stay on track with your self care.

We don't expect you to come see us weekly, but we do expect you to listen to your body and respond when you need us.

Making massage a regular part of your health routine, even when you spread the sessions out, can be so beneficial.

Talk with Shawna to see what kind of a routine your body needs.

She can help you to set tangible goals and she will work with you to help you stay on a positive path.

You don't have to do it alone.

We would love to help you stay accountable.

Let us know how we can help.

Massage has so many amazing benefits, but we especially wanted to highlight how it can help with stress and enhance relaxation.

Getting regular massage can help your body to realize how to let go of stress again.

It can increase your ability to get into a state of relaxation.

It can improve the quality of your life by allowing you to have a few moments of complete peace.

Get on our schedule.

You won't regret it.
